OBA's "Solo School"

For Law Students and Attorneys

The Omaha Bar Association is committed to supporting solo or small firm practicing attorneys in the Omaha area, and encouraging and educating law students and attorneys interested in going out on their own. As a legal profession, it's important that we have diversification of law practice types and models, and this includes those who go into practice "for themselves" as a sole practitioner.

Seeing a lack of information and programming for the solo practitioner, we've put together an ongoing series we are calling "Solo School." We hope this resource will help better inform those who are interested in solo practice, or those already in the practice who want to learn from their fellow solos.

This programming is free for all attorneys, but there is a cost for non-OBA members seeking CLE credit.
