The result is a significant savings for you on rooms, transportation, ski lift tickets, car rentals, and airline tickets. The Law Education Institute The Law Education Institute was established in 1980 by Attorneys James J. Podell and Peggy L. Podell for the purpose of presenting outstanding continuing legal education programs. Long active in Bar activities, Jim and Peggy developed the National CLE Conference® into one of the preeminent programs in the country. Their insistence on high quality speakers and programming has resulted in five ABA sections and numerous State Bar organizations co-sponsoring the programs. Jim Podell was surrounded by family and friends when he passed away on January 29, 2005 at the age of 64 after a courageous four-year battle against cancer. He had served as Chair of the Family Law Sections of the American Bar Association, State Bar of Wisconsin and the Milwaukee Bar. He also served as Chair of the Taxation Committee and was the first Chair of the ABA Trial Advocacy Institute. Jim was the founding editor of the Wisconsin Journal of Family Law and has been listed in all ten editions of The Best lawyers in America and by the Milwaukee Magazine as one of the best divorce lawyers in Milwaukee. It is in Jim's memory that Colorado Bar Association CLE continues the tradition of this conference.
