Continuing Legal Education
In keeping with the educational objectives of the Louisiana Judicial College
and the Louisiana State Bar Association, attendees have the opportunity
to earn Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credits on substantive trends
and developments in the law in one of multiple tracks. The six half-days of
outstanding CLE programming are offered in a casual atmosphere, providing
an optimal learning experience and the chance to relax from the frenetic pace
of everyday life.
There are many benefits to attending CLE seminars in person – network with
other lawyers, build contact lists, learn up-to-date information about the law. CLE
seminars can help make participants more confident in their everyday practices.
Take advantage of these outstanding programs designed specifically for the busy
legal practitioner.

Rules Governing Reservations
The following rules have been adopted for the 2014 Summer School and

carefully to avoid any confusion and/or disappointment.
1. Send the Housing Request Form directly to Sandestin Golf and Beach Resort (address on housing form). Only reservations submitted on the Housing Request Form will be accepted. No telephone reservations will be accepted by the host properties for space within the LSBA block. At the end
of each week, the resort will forward to the LSBA a computer printout of
all reservations. The LSBA will check reservations against meeting registrations to confirm that members are registered to attend the Combined
LSBA Annual Meeting and LSBA/LJC Joint Summer School. If a meeting
registration is not received by the LSBA within 10 days of notification of
room reservation, the reservation will be removed from the LSBA block, as
this space is reserved only for those members attending LSBA meetings.
2. Credit cards honored by the resort are listed on the Housing Request
Form. Providing information for a credit card which is not accepted will
delay processing of your reservation.
