Part I: Legislative Resources for Lawyers
Shape the very laws you work with every day.

Get answers to all your questions and uncover the resources available to you from the following sources:

  • Legislative Fiscal Bureau

As a lawyer, you’re always a lawyer, even when you get elected to office. Explore the fascinating conflict of law between Supreme Court Rule 20 and the Government Accountability Board rules in this afternoon session. This seminar will help you gain a better understanding of the choices and dilemmas a lawyer faces while holding a public office.
