Good afternoon Family Law Section members,
On Wednesday, March 29, NJICLE in cooperation with the NJSBA Cannabis Law Special Committee will present the 5th Annual Cannabis Symposium, In-Person at the New Jersey Law Center and Webcast, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Cannabis Law continues to evolve. New Jersey has gone from legalizing medical marijuana in 2020, to fully legalizing marijuana in 2021. What does 2023 bring?
To keep abreast with the latest developments in this evolving area of law, NJICLE’s 5th Annual Cannabis Law Symposium offers attendees the opportunity to explore cutting-edge issues relating to the gauntlet of federal, state and local laws and regulations that are pertinent to capital markets and financial solutions, family law, employment law, criminal law, and more. In addition, this year’s Symposium will discuss new topics involving cannabis and intellectual property, RFA awardees, the latest developments in hemp law, and a look at what is happening across the river—an update on cannabis and New York.
Be sure to register, so that you can keep up to date and learn from some of NJ experienced attorneys who are dealing with cannabis law on so many levels.
