SPEAKER:  Ted A. Corless, Esquire with Corless Barfield Trial Group

TOPIC:  "Cannabis Legalization"

SUMMARY:  As sweeping state reforms usher in a new era of cannabis decriminalization and legalization, lawyers and paralegals must learn to organize their law practices around cannabis.  The “Green Rush” has hit Florida, creating novel and contradictory legal positions between the State’s constitutional protections versus the Federal Government’s continued prohibition. At this critical juncture, it is obligatory for the legal profession to make sense out of local, state, and federal rules regarding cannabis.  Attorney Corless will break the issue down by defining and examining political, governmental, environmental, cultural, economic, and legal cannabis themes. Practicing law on matters associated with cannabis provides unparalleled opportunities for law firms in all facets of legal practice, from civil liberties, criminal law, insurance law, and tax law to labor and employment law, real estate, environmental law, business law, and intellectual property.
