CLE - Consumer Bankruptcy
As Marketing Chair of Colorado Association of Legal Support Staff (CALSS), I would like to introduce to you our association. We were chartered in 1996 with our primary focus in education. The bi-level association continually strives to upgrade the knowledge and efficiency of its members through legal educational training programs. Another goal of our Association is to cooperate with the bar associations by assisting in their functions. We offer to all legal support staff the benefits of our bi-level association, welcoming members from the court system, law offices, trust departments of banks, governmental offices and other law-related fields.
We believe that we have a common cause in the continuing education of employees in the legal field. Our organization supports and promotes education by way of seminars, workshops and other programs at the local and state levels.
We emphasize that our Association is nonpartisan, nonpolitical, nonprofit and nonunion and invite the personnel of your members' offices to attend one of our meetings.
We have scheduled a CLE Event for January 25, 2020 at the Courtyard Marriott Denver North Westminster. Consumer Bankruptcy affects many areas of law and can be complex; Mr. Stephen Berken and Mr. Sean Cloyes of Berken Cloyes, PC, from Colorado Springs, CO, will be presenting. Registration form and more information on our presenters are below.
I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. If you would like additional information concerning the Colorado Association of Legal Support Staff or if our local members can be of assistance in one of your programs, you may contact us by email at calssco@gmail.com. Thank you for your anticipated interest in our organization. We look forward to working with you.
Very truly yours,
Kim Probst
