2012 Seminars Attended to Date
As I work on my “big article” on Guardians Ad Litem and their link to larger problems of society, here is evidence that I practice what I preach. Every lawyer needs continuing education. I cannot claim my college courses on calculus, Ancient Egypt, or statistics, or my various reading projects, but here are the CLE sessions I have attended and been given credit for by the WV State Bar during 2012. This is a typical year. Broad training helps a lawyer maintain currency, and even improve his skills.
