The Institute on Guardianship and Conservatorship: CLE Programs on New Guardianship and Conservatorship Laws
The Institute conducted three CLE programs in 2020 about the new guardianship and conservatorship laws. There were nearly 700 registrants for these three CLE programs, and they received excellent feedback from registrants about their value.
In addition to the aforementioned three CLE programs, Institute staff made presentations on the new laws at seven additional educational programs. These programs were for various audiences, including lawyers, judges, guardians, conservators, and service providers.
Individuals who did not register for the conferences may register to view videos of them, but cannot receive CLE credit for such viewing. The University of Iowa Center for Conferences should be contacted for further information at conferences@uiowa.edu or 319-335-4141.
