ILW.COM Focus
Entry/Inspection Issues - Telephonic Seminar
ILW.COM's new seminar "By Air, Land And Sea - When The POE Becomes A Brick
Wall" will cover matters connected to Ports of Entry. The three telephonic
sessions will discuss current developments in the entry process and how to
get in, Canadian and Mexican borders issues, and problems which may keep
people out. The seminar is offered by phone, so law offices around the
country can participate. It is also a great training tool for the entire
law firm staff (one registration covers everyone sharing a
speakerphone). The seminar includes an in-depth Q&A period where you can
pose questions regarding your cases to the distinguished practitioners on
the panel - Edward Litwin, Michael Berger, Peter Larrabee, Tien-Li Loke
Walsh, Jeanne Malitz, Timothy Murphy, William Reich and several
others to be announced. The deadline to register is Tuesday, December 16th.
