Individuals seeking to enhance their understanding of the law now have a new opportunity, as Texas Southmost College will be offering a series of three Law 101 informational seminars on select Saturdays from September to November at the TSC Legal Center.
The seminars, which are free and open to the public, function as workshops that will encourage interested individuals to join in and learn a little more about different areas of the law: Immigration Law, Family Law, and Business Law.
Immigration Law will cover issues such as immigration policies, legal pathways to residency, and other challenges immigrants face. Family Law explores common family-related issues such as divorce and child custody. Business Law will go over issues crucial to navigating the legal side of the business world, such as contract law, intellectual property, and regulatory compliance matters.
Additionally, legal experts will lead the seminars in each of the aforementioned areas. The experts will be giving presentations based on their areas of expertise, as well as fielding questions from attendees. Although they will not be dispensing legal advice, the experts will instead be there to ensure that the benefit of their years of experience can be shared with those who wish to learn more.
Texas Southmost College’s Legal Center, which recently opened in early January, will be the site in which each seminar is to be conducted. Considered the home of the college’s criminal justice programs, the Legal Center building features fully equipped classrooms, a legal library and a full-scale courtroom, providing an appropriate backdrop for the subject matter each workshop is designed to cover.
