The Dakota County Law Library currently offers one monthly Continuing Legal Education session via Microsoft Teams. The Teams presentation will require you to pre-register. If you are interested in attending the session, please contact the law library at least 24 hours ahead of the program. We cannot guarantee that you will receive a response to your email if it is received after that time frame.
If you are interested in attending future CLEs, please indicate this as well and your name will be placed on a list to receive monthly notifications about upcoming CLEs.
If you only contact the law library asking for information to attend a specific CLE, you will not be placed on the email notification list.
Upcoming session
Legal Pitfalls for the Small Landlord
Thursday, March 19 , noon-1 p.m.
Presentation overview
Corporate landlords have the time and money to hire attorneys. Small landlords, like those renting out a former residence or renting out half of a duplex, might not. Attorneys who do not specialize in landlord and tenant law sometimes are contacted by small landlords. We will discuss how small landlords can comply with landlord and tenant law and how general practice attorneys can help them.
