2021 practicelaw Conference

When:  Nov 8, 2021 from 08:30 AM to 05:00 PM (CT)

Come build with us!

This year’s event is a blend of teamwork and CLE. Each day begins with your morning inspiration and one-hour CLE. In the afternoon, you’ll meet with your team to brainstorm and build.

You’ll be creating an Alternative Legal Service Provider (ALSP). Not sure what that is? Don’t sweat it. Our kickoff CLE covers the basics for you. Your team of 2-5 players will build and pitch a business idea for delivering legal services to folks who can’t afford traditional legal services.
