South By Southwest, in conjunction with Lommen Abdo Law Firm, will present a two-day Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program during the SXSW 2012 Music Conference at no additional cost. All registrants are welcome to attend these law sessions in the Austin Convention Center (attorneys will be given priority if the room approaches capacity). Attorneys attending may receive up to eight hours of CLE credit during SXSW Music (including one hour of ethics) and four hours of CLE credit during SXSW Film & Interactive.

SXSW and Continuing Legal Education – it’s not just a good idea; it’s the law.

For further information, contact Program Coordinator Nels Jacobson at cle@sxsw.com.
