Please join us for Running in Heels which will be held Friday, May 12th at the Lafayette Bar Association Office from 8:30 AM-4:00 PM.

This CLE is geared towards women’s issues and will address the unique issues women face in the legal profession. This is a great opportunity to network with professional women. Running in Heels, while open to any attorney or legal professional who would like to attend, focuses on helping our female members develop strategies for dealing with these challenges. Breakfast and lunch will be included with registration.
