Don’t miss ISBA’s 5th Annual Abraham Lincoln’s Legal Legacy seminar as we take an in-depth look at how inventions and advancements in science and technology create opportunities for lawyers to represent innovators, as well as those clients who are disrupted by the innovation (including the legal profession).
