[blindLaw] NABL 2020 Annual Meeting Registration Now Open

[Scott C. LaBarre]

Good evening Blind Law!

 

Tomorrow the NFB 2020 Convention begins, and our NABL meeting takes place on
Thursday starting at 1:00 pm Eastern.  However, I advise that you get into
the Zoom room a bit early.  Please read the information below   and go to
our website, www.blindlawyers.net <http://www.blindlawyers.net> , to
register.  If you are having trouble registering, do not hesitate to contact
us.  It would be best that you reach out to my assistant, Lisa at:

 

lkb at labarrelaw.com <mailto:lkb at labarrelaw.com> 

 

Also, tomorrow, for those who are buying the Cle materials, Lisa will be
emailing a link to a Dropbox where you can download the files.  For those
who want a thumb drive sent in the mail, we can do that, but it won't take
place until after the Convention.

 

Here is my previous message:

 

Happy Friday everyone! 

 

Registration for our 2020 Annual Meeting is now open.  Please go to:

www.blindlawyers.net <http://www.blindlawyers.net> 

 

On our page, you can download our 2020 agenda as well as pay for your annual
dues and the CLE materials.

 

Dues for lawyers = $25

Students and non-attorney = $5

2020 CLE materials = $20

 

If you are purchasing the CLE materials, we will invite you to a secure
Dropbox where you can download same.  Those materials will be  available on
Monday.  

 

NABL's largest source of revenue each year is the Mock Trial.  This year we
are not able to put on a trial.  So, we are asking folks to make additional
donations to our treasury if you can.  It will be much appreciated.

 

Although you can download it, I am pasting below our agenda for easy access.
I look forward to meeting with all of you virtually next week.  If you are
having difficulty registering, just let me know via email at
slabarre at labarrelaw.com <mailto:slabarre at labarrelaw.com>  or call 303
520-3584.  

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Scott
