Last year the BCBA’s Continuing Legal Education Committee provided our members with many interesting informative CLE programs. In addition, committee members and staff spent considerable time and effort planning the BCBA’s First Annual Business Law Institute.
The Business Law Institute was held on March 2nd and we have received positive feedback. We would like to thank BCBA MCLE Committee Chair Richard C. Howard, Jr., Esquire and course planners H. Jeffrey Brahin and Jeffrey G. DiAmico, Esquires for their hard work and dedication in seeing this project through.
We greatly appreciate the Hon. Robert J. Mellon’s willingness to serve as the keynote speaker. Judge Mellon’s presentation provided valuable insight pertinent to litigating commercial cases.
