Someone once said, "History is written by people who attend meetings, and stay until the end and keep the minutes" -- and the folks who attended CLLA's 116thNational Meeting in Chicago certainly helped write history. The very successful meeting featured outstanding educational programs, passionate discussions about important issues facing the profession and the CLLA, and engaging networking events.
As a sponsor of the American Board of Certification, the CLLA encourages certification of attorneys in business bankruptcy, consumer bankruptcy and creditors' rights law.
