MSBA Offers Two New Certification Programs

Labor and Employment Law and Criminal Law practitioners may now qualify for certification following approval of two new programs by the State Board of Legal Certification.

The programs mark the first new MSBA certification programs in more than 20 years. The MSBA Assembly reviewed initial program proposals from the MSBA Labor & Employment Law Section and Criminal Law Section in 2009, authorizing the sections to petition the state board for approval.

Watch for more details about the two programs, and note the following dates:

Criminal Law Certification: Application deadline of April 14, 2010 and exam date of Saturday, April 24, 2010. Applicants will complete the entire application after they have passed the exam.
