Deadline to Register: December 12, 2017
There are more Somali immigrants in Minnesota than in any other state. The number of Somali attorneys is growing, but is still very small (for the time being). There is a burgeoning need for culturally appropriate Elder Law and estate planning services as these newer Americans settle their multi-generational communities in this state. Not to be underappreciated is also the growing business law needs of the ambitious Somali young men and women whose entrepreneurial spirit is just starting to show itself in a significant way.
If you are interested in learning more about where legal services are headed and exploring under-charted territory (ie. a new potential client base), this CLE is for you!Come join us for lunch December 14, 11:30 AM-1 PM and learn more about Islamic estate planning and the Somali culture.
