<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:silver;mso-highlight:silver"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background:silver;mso-highlight:silver">This presentation examines the Florida Supreme Court’s decision in Altman Contractors, Inc. v. Crum & Forster Specialty Ins. Co., 2017 WL 6379535 (Fla. December 14, 2017), which determined
that a Chapter 558 notice of claim of a construction defect constituted a “suit” within the meaning of a general contractor’s commercial general liability insurance policy. The presentation also examines the competing public policy and practical considerations
leading up to the court’s decision and addresses the practical implications of the court’s ruling for insurance and construction practitioners.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

This presentation will provide a general overview of code enforcement (e.g., notice, opportunity to correct, due process), will discuss types of liens, and will explain the practical and legal limitations on lien forgiveness by local governments while detailing
“creative” approaches to resolving liens.<o:p></o:p></p>

nexus of Mindfulness and the practice of law has recently been gaining traction in the legal field, including through the establishment of law school courses, in professional development training/coaching, and in wellness programming at law firms. However,
many lawyers are still unclear as to what is meant by “Mindfulness” and as to its potential benefits. Although they are not the point of engaging in Mindfulness, those potential benefits or positive “side effects” can certainly be significant, if not transformative,
and may include stress reduction, increased focus, and enhanced communication skills. This CLE program will define Mindfulness, discuss several medical studies about the effects of Mindfulness on health, and explore the intersection of Mindfulness with the
Florida Rules of Professional Conduct and other professionalism matters, including unconscious bias, as well as the potential “side effect” of Mindfulness in improving the practice of law substantively/more generally. A 1 hour CLE ethics credit has been applied
for.<b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></p>

LEED and by Bill Gates and Jeff Vinik, the developer of the new Water Street Project in Tampa). Attendees will learn everything they need to know in order to have a working knowledge of the new standard. Mike will provide an overview on WELL and Jim will speak
about the Water Street Project in Tampa, a $3 billion project that will be the first WELL Community certified project in the world. You may then decide for yourself whether or not WELL is "the next big thing!"<b><u><o:p></o:p></u></b></p>

will provide both general tips on tightening persuasive writing to courts in litigation, as well as specific recent developments in legal style and formats. As the courts evolve in their electronic filing, document management, and form of review of pleadings,
legal styles and formats are adapting to keep up. Discussion will include references to some of the leaders in legal writing to follow. This presentation has been approved for 1 hour of CLE credit.<o:p></o:p></p>
