You will receive 1.0 CLE credits for attending. The event is free but you are encouraged to donate to the Clallam-Jefferson Pro Bono Attorneys Organization.
Also, this event doubles as the bar association’s summer social event. We hope that you stay after the Justices’ presentation to enjoy each other’s company and Finn River Farm’s beautiful new setting. Although we are positively sure that you do not need incentive to attend this amazing event, Urquia Law will be hosting a cider bar for the attendees. Free cider!??! Yes, it’s true. Applicious.
Finally, this event is open to the community not just for lawyers. So, please bring your family and friends to the event. The Justices would like to meet everyone and answer any questions that they may have about the Court.
