Called “CLE in the City,” the courses run as little as $25 in practice areas such as antitrust, construction law, mergers and acquisitions, securities law, family law, financial technology, international dispute and resolution, the legal profession, trial practice, and white-collar criminal law. Attorneys can take a single course, or a “track” of three courses with a lunch program and a keynote speech, for $95.
“We want the solo practitioners [and] the legal aid lawyers who often can’t afford to come to these kinds of programs,” said Stephen Younger, a partner at Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler who is among the organizers of this year’s ABA meeting.
