The Washington State Bar Association is pleased to offer the 2019 Practice Primer seminar series! The WSBA Practice Primer examines a substantive area of law through a series of learning tracks that build upon one another. Completion of all three learning tracks (consisting of three sessions within each track) will provide attendees with a solid educational foundation and primer for practice. The skills learned in this series would benefit new attorneys and experienced attorneys intending to change or expand practice areas.
Our 2019 series is focused on Employment Law. The topics covered by the three Practice Primer tracks are: Starting the Employment Relationship: Setting Yourself up for Success, Managing the Employment Relationship and Ending the Employment Relationship.
The complete 2019 Practice Primer Series will occur over the course of three months, April through June, with sessions held on Wednesdays from 9-1:15 a.m. New Members who are licensed for less than five years in Washington are eligible for the New Member Pricing of $79 per track. Members who do not qualify for the New Member Pricing can benefit from a tuition discount by purchasing all three tracks for $600 and earn a total of 21 CLE credits. Each course will be led by one active and one new practitioner, with guest faculty invited to speak as subject matter experts. The faculty have created a fact pattern to reach across all tracks for an immersive educational experience.
