Location: Cravath, Swaine & Moore - One Worldwide
Plaza, corner of 50th and 8th Avenue.
Sure, they're legalizing pot everywhere now. But is it *legal*?
And more importantly, where can you get some? We answer one of
those questions in an hour and a half of toe-tapping,
knee-slapping, hand-clapping entertainment and CLE. What troubles
face lawyers, bankers, and businesses as they navigate this groovy
new legal landscape? Find all of that out while enjoying some
at-one-time-illegal-and-now-perfectly-legal alcohol (and food)!
Cocktail at 5:30, Curtain at 6:30, Wednesday June 12th at Cravath,
Swaine & Moore - One Worldwide Plaza, corner of 50th and 8th
Avenue. Be there or be square, man.
