Each year, the CAI Law Seminar Planning Committee reviews
all potential presenters community association law presentations to determine
the breakout sessions for the following year's event. In addition to
presentation slides, the final selection of only 24 presenters submit a
comprehensive manuscript to accompany their session, citing case studies and
offering templates.
After Law Seminar, a subcommittee analyzes all of the
manuscripts and nominates the Best Manuscript of the Law Seminar for approve
from the full Planning Committee and the College of Community Association
Lawyers' Board of Governors. The Best Manuscript sets the benchmark for all
future Law Seminar submissions.
