Disaster Recovery

No doubt attorneys and others affected by deadly Superstorm Sandy have more critical things right now than continuing legal education. Let us hope licensing authorities will grant extensions as needed.

Meanwhile, free On-Demand Programs may help professionals and clients needing quick legal tips, and free Webinars may be helpful as well. Professionals offering similar programs, especially in service to disaster survivors, are invited to send them to us for free publicity. We'll all get through this together!
