NDLR - Brown Bag "Meet the Authors" Series

What is Brown Bag Lunch: Meet the Authors?

This series features recently published student authors, faculty authors, and sometimes practitioner authors who have examined specific cases or issues pertinent to North Dakota law. Their scholarship is showcased and offers a unique opportunity for students, practitioners, the public, and faculty to learn more about these issues.

Authors will discuss their respective cases, outlining issues and facts involved and offering analysis or reasoning beyond the holding of the cases or issues. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lunch to this informal series, and more importantly, to bring questions for the authors.

.75 CLE credits are earned through the North Dakota Commission of Continuing Legal Education
