The People’s Lawyer’s Tip of the Day
IT'S TIME FOR THE PEOPLE'S LAW SCHOOL! This Saturday, April 4, join me at the People's Law School at the University of Houston Law Center. Classes will be held from 9 a.m.-noon on the main campus of the University of Houston Law Center. There will be classes in business law, bankruptcy, employment, insurance, health insurance, consumer law, credit and debt collection, wills and estates, family law, insurance law, landlord tenant law, small claims court social security, and how to deal with an attorney. There will even be a class on how you can find the law on the Internet. Each person may choose three classes to attend. Every class will be taught by a different instructor and is a little different, so feel free to take a class more than once if you are really interested in the subject matter. Although there is no charge for the People’s Law School, you must pre-register to attend. Registration is limited to the first 1,000 people. Click here for more.
