Video CLE: The Ethics of Medical Marijuana

In June, Bar Counsel David Clark and Alan Freer, a member of the Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility, conducted a one-hour CLE on the legal implications of Nevada's adoption of medical marijuana laws. During the seminar, they also explained how attorneys can ethically represent medical marijuana businesses and their owners.

For those who missed the live seminar, it's not too late to take advantage of this timely educational opportunity. The digital video program, worth 1 Ethics CLE credit, is now available for purchase on the state bar's website.

For more information and to order the program, visit the state bar's website.
