Open Lecture Series
Continuing Legal Education Live from the Capital of the United States

Live, interactive, web-based legal lectures delivered by outstanding
U.S. professors and practitioners.

Georgetown Law CLE and Lex Mercator International Education have joined forces to bring you for a limited time only the Open Lecture Series—a unique offering of live online legal lectures. As the name implies, the Open Lecture Series is open to members of the legal profession in Latin America.

We’ve assembled an outstanding cadre of American professors and practitioners to deliver the live lectures from the United States. And here’s the best news…the Open Lectures are free of charge.

Each 45-60 minute lecture will include a theme that is relevant to your practice and important to your professional development. You can participate right from the computer in your office.

However, since the lectures are live, space is limited, and you can reserve your spot by completing the form on this webpage. We won’t have room for everyone, so seats are awarded in the fairest manner possible…the first to request it.

Lecture topics include:

Financial Planning for Lawyers
Dr. Michael Dalton, J.D., Ph.D., CFP, CFA, author of several best-selling books on financial planning.

Five Mistakes Even the Best English-Speakers Make
Ms. Debra Lee, J.D., M.A., co-author of the widely used textbook “American Legal English”.

The 5 Top Things to Know When Doing Business in the U.S.
Mr. John Rooney, J.D., practicing U.S. attorney with 15 years experience helping Latin American businesses understand the U.S. commercial landscape.

And more…

Upon registering for a lecture, you will receive an email notification with the log-in details and instructions.

The legal profession has experienced tremendous changes in recent decades. Perhaps more than any other professional field it has felt the effects of globalization, as even common commercial transactions routinely require knowledge of multiple languages and familiarity with foreign legal jurisdictions. Aspiring attorneys must continually educate themselves to reach the top of their profession and stay there.
