Symposium on Rural Practice To Be Held March 20-21 at USD Law School

The University of South Dakota School of Law and the South Dakota Law Review will host a symposium on rural practice on March 20 and March 21 at the School of Law. The symposium will focus on the issues facing rural practitioners across the nation. South Dakota's unique rural practice legislation and Project Rural Practice will also be discussed. The official press release for the symposium is available here.

The Law Library has recently published a LibGuide to accompany the symposium, which provides links to Law Library resources and other information on the topic of rural legal practice.

This LibGuide will continue to be updated with new information.

In related news, Patrick Goetzinger, Co-Chair of South Dakota's Project Rural Practice and symposium presenter, recently accepted the Louis M. Brown Award for Legal Access in Chicago during the American Bar Association’s Midyear Meeting on behalf of PRP. Information on the Louis M. Brown Award is available here from the ABA. As the ABA's site states, the Award is presented annually "to those who have made creative contributions to the delivery of legal services in ways that are exemplary and replicable."
