I have to admit that I like learning. For me, learning means both teaching and being taught. I get bored easily, but find mastering a new idea, relationship, legal principle or concepts great fun. I am astounded by the complexity of the world and how every day brings new challenges and problems which need to be addressed within the matrix of the law.

Things are so complex, and laws so quickly morphing to adapt to social and political pressures that it would seem that any business that offers a guide through the thicket would be akin to printing money. Yet for many bar associations, continuing legal education is a dying business. How can that be?
