The National Association of Bond Lawyers (“NABL”) is pleased to announce that it is once again offering up to five scholarships to law school students to attend its 2013 Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar. Located in the District of Columbia, NABL was incorporated as a non-profit corporation in 1979, and exists to promote the integrity of the municipal market by advancing the understanding of and compliance with the law affecting public finance. NABL pursues this mission in a number of ways, including, but not limited to, providing several annual educational programs for its members and others in the law relating to state and municipal bonds and other obligations.
The 2013 Fundamentals of Municipal Bond Law Seminar is one of these educational programs. Designed for attorneys, paralegals, government officials and employees, financial consultants and other municipal finance professionals and market participants seeking a basic knowledge of municipal bond law and related municipal finance issues, it is open to both NABL members and non-members. The seminar is being held April 17-19, 2013 at the Swissotel Chicago in Chicago, Illinois. The 2013 seminar brochure and details will be available on the NABL website (www.nabl.org) in early February. Click here to view the 2012 seminar brochure.
To be a recipient of one of the five possible scholarships, an applicant must be currently enrolled in the Doctor of Jurisprudence Program at an accredited law school located within the United States of America. Each scholarship will include (a) waiver of the enrollment fee to the seminar, (b) complimentary hotel lodging (checking-in on April 17 and checking out on April 19) at the Swissotel Chicago in Chicago, Illinois, (c) reimbursement of roundtrip airfare (not including any checked baggage fees) at coach class rates for nonrefundable fares booked no less than 14 days prior to the departure date to Chicago, Illinois, and (d) reimbursement of ground transportation to and from the scholarship recipient’s departing airport and to and from a Chicago airport (limited to the cost of taxi service).
