Employment Law CLE seminar on Dec. 11th open to current law students:

 

Sterling Education Services is a non-profit continuing legal education company that conducts CLE seminars across the nation. We are holding an Employment Law Update seminar in Lansing, MI on December 11, 2007, and we would like to offer five law students complimentary passes to this seminar as an introduction to our company in the hope that when they get out into the legal profession they will remember us and attend our seminars as paying customers. The students get a day-long overview of a particular aspect of the law, a seminar manual, and they also get an opportunity to network with practicing attorneys. We believe this is a win-win situation. 

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This message has been sent to all of the law schools in your area.  The five free passes are available on a first-come, first-serve basis regardless of the school attended.  After the five passes have been allocated, additional passes may be available for $50.00 per attendee.

 

For those students who wish to register, they may email me directly with the following information:

Full Name

Student ID# (if applicable)

Phone Number

Address

School Name

*Please indicate the specifics of which seminar you wish to attend. Ex.

City, ST, Title of seminar, Date, Year
