We have scheduled another presentation of the Lincoln on Professionalism program for Seattle with a twist; we plan to webcast the program for access by attorneys throughout the state in addition to having a live audience.  As a bonus feature, it looks like this will be among one of the first seminars (though not the first) held at a new WSBA conference center that will open in downtown Seattle.  The program will be a half day format.
