The seventh annual Beasley Allen Legal Conference and Expo is scheduled for November 21-22, 2013. The conference has grown steadily each year, from about 400 lawyers attending in 2007, to more than 1,400 last year. This event is open to all Alabama lawyers in private practice. There is no charge to the attendees at the event. Registration and all events are free to our guests.
In 2013, for the first time, we will offer a full 12 hours free CLE credit, including one hour of Ethics. By attending the Beasley Allen Legal Conference, lawyers from throughout the state can enhance their knowledge of current legal issues, while earning free CLE credits. Practice areas addressed at the conference will include Personal Injury and Product Liability, Mass Torts and Fraud.
As the largest event of its kind for Alabama lawyers, the Conference is also a great time to meet lawyers who are knowledgeable in many areas of the law. This is a valuable chance to build relationships that will assist lawyers in developing their law practice.
We have been fortunate to have individuals from outside Beasley Allen speak at our conferences. This year will be no exception. Speakers for this year’s event include:
- Alabama Governor Robert Bentley;
- Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore;
- Associate Supreme Court Justice Lyn Stuart;
- Associate Supreme Court Justice Michael Bolin;
- Circuit Judge Charles Price;
- Dr. David Bronner, Chief Executive Officer, RSA;
- Greg Cusimano, a lawyer with the Gasden firm Cusimano Roberts Knowles & Mills;
- Mike Hahn, Senior Director Product Management – Sanction; LexisNexis;
- Jeff Rickard, the current President of Alabama Association for Justice; and
- Jeremy McIntire, Assistant General Counsel, Alabama State Bar.
An important part of the conference is the Legal Services Expo, where vendors provide demonstrations of products and answer questions about how attorneys can best enhance their practice. Platinum sponsors for the conference this year are Lexis Nexis, Jackson Thornton Valuation & Litigation Consulting Group, and Baker Reporting and Video Services, Inc. We appreciate their support, which helps us grow and improve this event each year.
Legal and community groups including the Alabama State Bar Volunteer Lawyer Program, Alabama State Bar Lawyer Referral Program, Alabama Law Foundation, Alabama Civil Justice Foundation, Alabama Association for Justice, Freedom Reporting Inc. and Jones School of Law also have representatives present.
We are extremely pleased and honored to be able to offer this conference as a service for lawyers throughout the state of Alabama. This is a valuable opportunity for lawyers to get continuing education hours, as well as providing them the chance for networking with other lawyers.
