Several years ago I went to a science fiction convention in Chicago. I went a day early because the Science Fiction Writers of America had organized a seminar on Copyright Law, obviously of interest to us writers. To my surprise it was also attended by a bunch of lawyers, not SFWA members, who got CE credits for it. No skin off my nose. I learned a lot and got some nice reference material. So, I'm satisfied I got my money's worth. But it did seem strange that the legal types could get CE credit for it.
Lawyers take care of themselves pretty well. In probate cases, they get paid FIRST. Had a nice, tidy law lobbied by them passed.
