On December 16, 2008, I spoke at the 2008 “Elder Law College”, held at the New Jersey Law Center in New Brunswick, NJ. I was the “Professor”, for one day, of Social Security and Supplemental Security Income Law. This is how the NJ Institute of Continuing Legal Education described the seminar:

2008 ELDER LAW COLLEGE: Presented by the NJ Institute of Continuing Legal Education in cooperation with the NJ State Bar Association Elder & Disability Law Section.

A guide to handling elder law matters in your practice. The graying of America means that an increasing number of people are going to need the services of attorneys. Are you ready to handle elder law matters in your practice?

A one day “crash course” designed to build skills. This information-packed program is designed for attorneys who do not concentrate in elder law, including general practitioners seeking to expand into this practice area, novice attorneys looking to create a niche practice, paralegals, and elder support services personnel.

You’ll go “back to school” to attend 11 half hour segments and panel discussions that will provide you with a working knowledge of elder law basics. You’ll quickly be able to represent clients in a wide range of matters you would normally have had to refer to others. Gain confidence in your ability to handle elder law matters. Make an investment in your legal career and register today!
