Live Teleseminars
Similar to a conference call, the Bar's live teleseminars connect you with leading practitioners from across the country and around the world over the phone. With electronic materials delivered via e-mail and the ability to ask questions of the speakers in real time, teleseminars are your hotline to the latest legal updates. All you need is a landline or cell phone and an e-mail address to receive the materials and call-in instructions. To view the calendar of upcoming teleseminar dates and topics, visit www.scbar.org/teleseminars.
