The Dakota County Law Library currently offers one monthly Continuing Legal Education session via Zoom. The Zoom 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.
