REMINDER: This Thursday, August 27th Civil Litigation CLE Seminar at the Mohegan Sun Casino in Wilkes-Barre, PA

As a reminder, this Thursday, August 27th, an informative civil litigation CLE will be held at the Mohegan Sun Casinos at the Pocono Downs in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.

I recently did a run-through with casino officials as a last minute preparation for the seminar. The cocktail hour area looks great and there are some nice restaurants to catch dinner after. Visit http://www.poconodowns.com/ to check out the casino.

The seminar is geared to provide updates to plaintiff's counsel, defense counsel, and claims professionals. The details of the seminar and a registration form are set forth below. Hope to see you there:
