Public Law for the Public's Lawyers
I lead the planning for Public Law for the Public’s Lawyers (PLPL). The course addresses issues relevant to attorneys who work in or with North Carolina state government. That means a focus on legislative branch and executive branch information and issues, typically. We usually offer the program in the fall and plan for 12 hours of CLE. This year’s offering will be entirely online, via Zoom, over three days. We will offer post-event recordings for viewing as well.
The availability of videos after the event will be different than in previous years. In previous years, we held events that you could attend where the program was replayed as a video. For this year, the program will be available as on-demand videos for individualized viewing from your own work station after the event.
