[blindLaw] NABL 2024 Annual Meeting Information, Registration, Dues, and Agenda

Wed Jul 3 23:22:28 UTC 2024

The jurisdictions in which I have reported have not allowed me to include introductory  remarks or time during breaks. This is why I said three hours (180 minutes) rather than 210 minutes. Your mileage may vary.
