Citizens' Law School will be back for a new season of programming starting Oct. 11, 2023. Citizens' Law School is a series of FREE educational programs developed by the State Bar of Montana's Law Related Education Committee to provide information on a variety of topics related to the law in Montana to members of the public. The hourlong programs are scheduled for Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom webinar. Each program will be presented by a Montana judge or attorney with expertise in the area of law being discussed. 

You must register for the webinars in advance by clicking the Zoom links below. Each presentation is limited to the first 500 to join.
