The ONLINE CLE PROGRAM
10th Annual Avoiding Legal Malpractice Seminar, featuring Eileen Garczynski and Dennis Quinn
Malpractice suits not only cost firms money, but they also rob the firm’s leadership of valuable time they need to spend with clients or to address other management issues. In addition to these challenges, they can inflict enduring damage to a firm’s reputation.
During this 2-hour seminar, Eileen Garczynski and Dennis Quinn provide both new and experienced practitioners with an overview of measures that can be taken to better serve their clients; and to encourage lawyers to establish and maintain standards in their law practice to meet their responsibilities to their clients.

THE ONLINE CONCERT: Josh Osborne
After years of honing his craft, Grammy and ACM award-winning songwriter Josh Osborne has become one of the go-to songwriters on the Nashville music scene. After scoring his first #1 song in 2012 with Kenny Chesney’s “Come Over,” Josh has been on quite an amazing roll, scoring a total of 26 #1 songs to-date, in addition to winning 35 ASCAP awards for most performed songs as well as three ASCAP Song of the Year awards for his hits “Leave The Night On,” “Body Like A Back Road,” and “One Man Band.”
In 2014, Josh was awarded the coveted Grammy Award for Best Country Song for “Merry Go ‘Round,” recorded by Kacey Musgraves. He has since been nominated three more times for Best Country Song at the Grammy Awards. Also, in 2014, Josh was honored by having his name added to the prestigious Country Music Highway, which runs through the state of Kentucky and near his hometown of Virgie.
In 2015 Josh became a partner in frequent collaborator Shane McAnally’s publishing and artist development company, SMACK Songs.
Josh is the 2021 ASCAP Country Songwriter of the Year, 2019 NSAI Songwriter of the Year, 2019 and 2020 Music Row Magazine Songwriter of the Year, a 6-time nominee for ACM Songwriter of the Year, ACM Song of the Year winner for his song “One Man Band,” as well as a multiple CMA award nominee, and multiple CMA Triple Play Award winner.
