"Computer Plotting of Legal Descriptions for the Layman"
An 8-Hour Seminar
What can I expect at the Seminar?:
The seminar is designed to give the student a better understanding of the language of legal descriptions. It gives suggestions on handling "problem" or incomplete descriptions. This Seminar is best done in a computer lab, giving students "hands-on" experience. N/ET Deed Plotter® is used in the Seminar for illustrative purposes.
