*ABI acknowledges that in some instances there will be persons who
need to
attend an educational seminar for CLE credit who are not able to pay
full registration
fees. ABI will handle such instances on a case-by-case basis and
will work
with the attorney on alternative solutions. For persons who cannot
meet the
full registration rate, ABI will offer a reduced rate based on what
the attorney
can reasonably afford to cover of the cost of meals and materials.
For persons
unable to pay a reduced rate, we may allow the attorney to work at
our registration
area for a few hours during attendee check-in, or assist in
conference set-up.
ABI also has reduced rates for government employees, professors, law
clerks
and students. For information on tuition assistance, send an e-mail
to jdugas@abiworld.org.
Cancellation Policy
All fees, with the exception of a $75 handling fee,
will be refunded if written
notice of cancellation is received by Oct. 21. No refunds will be
honored after
Oct. 21, but substitutions will be allowed.
