MCLE tentative for 1-hour Professionalism CLE credit

Courses on drawing legal descriptions usually involve the participants using protractors and triangular engineer's scales. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dick Bales has written a basic legal description class for attorneys. He promises that in one hour, attorneys will not only be able to understand legal descriptions, they will be able to draw out legal descriptions--all in a Zoom presentation. Attorney attending this presentation via Zoom must have the following: several sheets of paper, a six-inch or twelve-inch ruler, and a pencil with an eraser on the end.
