Not usually 2 phrases you see together. But the vacation/CLE combination was particularly good this last Thursday and Friday. I got up early on Thursday to drive over. It was at the Isla Grand (not Grande, as I learned). The hotel had a nice display of its history as the Sea Island Motel and Resort from 1959. It had a stint as a Hilton and then a Radisson also.
Notable speakers were Mikal Watts, who talked about his work in the BP lawsuit. Such big business that a regular guy lawyer like has not the time/money to invest in that. There was a big article in the NY Times about that plaintiff lawyer business model but it was interesting to hear about it. He was an excellent speaker also - you could see how he is great with a jury.
Also there was a good speaker on post judgment collection, with which I am quite familiar. There were a number of attorneys from all over there, not just locally. So that was a pleasant surprise.
