[CLBS] Tip of the Month

[Catherine Dullea]

Dear Section Members:

Here's your Tip of the Month for September.

 

There will be two United States District & Bankruptcy Court Bench Bar
Conferences this year.  They are always very informative and a great deal
for the low-low price.  I believe a decision has been made to allow law
students and attorneys in their first year of practice to attend free (check
with Walt Sinclair at 208/383-3928 or Susie Boring-Headlee at 208/334-9067).
Please SIGN UP NOW!
