The Practising Law Institute (PLI) is a renowned national provider of continuing legal education founded in 1933. We have selected some of PLI’s most popular programs for "groupcast" to our Philadelphia and Pittsburgh conference centers). Persons attending view the live broadcast from PLI in New York City. All participants have the opportunity to have their questions answered during the live question and answer sessions.
Save yourself the time and expense of an overnight trip to New York City, and take advantage of the specialized educational programs for which PLI is famous.
