Solo Practice Workshop - Reminder
Please let me know if you plan to attend the WSBA Solo Practice Workshop on Wednesday, April 11 at 12:30 p.m. As of today, I have only 2 reservations.
I plan to follow this presentation with another presentation in a few weeks from some of our alumni who have started their own practices to talk about how they did so and what some of the pitfalls were. I will need at least 8 students to commit to attending, however, before I arrange this. If you are interested, please let me know.

CLE Credit for Law School Courses
For those of you who have already been sworn into the bar and intend to report your class hours for CLE credit, please review the WSBA requirements for doing so. Specifically, you will need to have your instructor verify your actual attendance. I recommend that you do so as soon as possible after the end of the quarter so that your instructor will have a better memory of your attendance. You can create your own attendance verification form, or we can provide you with one that we created. Please contact the WSBA with any questions. Unfortunately, we are no longer able to submit the credits on your behalf.
