Safari Club International’s 2015 Annual Wildlife Law Course for Lawyers is Now Open for Registration
Calling All Lawyers! Registration for the 2015 Wildlife Law Continuing Legal Education Course is open. The course will be held at the SCI Annual Hunters’ Convention at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada on Friday, February 6, 2015, from 1:00 to 5:15 P.M. As in past years, the Nevada State Bar is co-sponsoring the CLE course and has approved it for 4.0 hours of Continuing Legal Education credit, including 3.0 hours of general credit and 1.0 hour of ethics credit. SCI staff will assist you in obtaining MCLE credit from all other state bars.
