October 14 Meeting Info

CCBA FLS – OCTOBER 14 MEETING – GUEST SPEAKER KARL TEGLAND


SPEAKER: I am honored to announce that Karl Tegland will be joining us at our October 14 meeting. He will discuss evidence and family law.

If you do not know who Mr. Tegland is, he is the author/co-author of sixteen volumes of West's Washington Practice, including the Courtroom Handbook on Washington Evidence and the Washington Handbook on Civil Procedure. Mr. Tegland also writes and publishes Tegland's Litigation Today, a monthly newsletter for Washington judges and practitioners. Since 1980, more than 880 Washington appellate opinions have cited Mr. Tegland's work as authoritative.

WHEN: The meeting will be Thursday, October 14, 2010. Because Mr. Tegland will be here, this meeting will be a little longer than usual and will offer two CLE credits rather than one. The meeting will be from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Mr. Tegland will speak from 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and will take questions from 12:30 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.

There will not be social time per usual at the beginning of the meeting and the presentation will start promptly at 11:00 a.m. so I recommend arriving at about 10:45 a.m.

WHERE: The lunch meeting will be held at the Red Lion at the Quay.

LUNCH: Lunch will be plated and served and will include rolls with butter; Caesar salad; either pasta primavera with garden vegetables or grilled chicken with marinara over penne pasta with steamed vegetables; and cookies for dessert.

COST TO ATTEND: The cost of lunch is $15.00 plus $10.00 for two CLE credits if you desire.

RSVP: Please RSVP by Monday, October 11 by sending your payment to our section’s Treasurer, Laura Mancuso, at Marsh, Higgins, Beaty & Hatch P.C., 1112 Daniels Street, Suite 200, Vancouver, WA 98666.

Please include your lunch entrée choice of either pasta primavera or chicken in the subject line of your check.

Judges, Commissioners, and speakers are always free of charge so please just email me to RSVP with your choice of entrée.
