AIR FARE TO NORFOLK...AN ALTERNATIVE

WANNA SAVE MONEY GOING TO NORFOLK? If you haven't booked your flight for Norfolk, NOW is the time to check out fares. As an alternative to flying into Norfolk (ORF), check out Newport News (PHF). Fares can sometimes be half as what you would pay flying into Norfolk.

Some airlines are also offering a deal - use part of your frequent flyer miles and pay a reduced rate. If you don't have a bunch of miles, this may work for you.

The Newport News airport is about 17 miles from Norfolk, but may take you 45 - 60 minutes to get to Norfolk due to vacation travel. It will take a little longer on Sunday, so make sure your return flight is later and give yourself plenty of time to get to the airport.

How to get from the airport to the hotel? The shuttles are significantly cheaper if you have more people sharing the cost. For example, one person would pay $49.75 going from Newport News to the hotel, while the cost for 4 would be $88.75 (or $22.19 each), so you can see the savings. Same thing applies to the Norfolk airport. One person would pay $24, where the cost for 4 people is $39 (or $9.75 each). We want to help you save some $$$ on shuttles and airfare.

One of the easiest ways to do that is for our members to share that information on the NALS Community, and then work together to coordinate arrivals and departures and share shuttles. If you are interested in sharing a shuttle and saving some $$$, share your information there!

HISTORIC WILLIAMSBURG

Nothing is free...and it will cost you about $37 to get into the sites of Historic Williamsburg. You can save 10% if you order your pass online ($33.30) in the Colonial Williamsburg ticket store http://www.history.org/visit/planYourVisit/Ticketplans/

BUS TO WILLIAMSBURG???

What are you doing on Wednesday, September 10? If you will already be in Norfolk for the conference and you're looking for something to do, there is a possibility of getting a bus to take members up to Historic Williamsburg for the day. You'll leave the hotel around 9 a.m. and arrive in Williamsburg around 10 a.m. You will leave Williamsburg around 5 p.m. and arrive back at the hotel around 6 p.m. (Schedule is estimated right now.) You'll have the entire day to spend exploring Williamsburg on your own. The cost will be approximately $55-60 per person. This is a small bus and can accommodate up to 23 people. In order to book the bus, we will need to get a firm number no later than MAY 7. You will then be required to make a non-refundable deposit to cover the cost of your bus ticket.

If you are interested, please contact Jenni at the NALS Resource Center.

Are You Sure That Document Is Confidential?

Yes? No? Maybe? If you aren't sure, this is a CAN'T MISS session at the NALS Annual Conference.

Think about it...your office receives a subpoena for copies of files. Surely they’re protected by the attorney-client or work product privilege; right? Wrong! Glen A. Huff, Esq., of Huff, Poole & Mahoney will explain WHY privileged documents aren’t always privileged.

You learn something new everyday...and you're bound to learn a great deal at the NALS Annual Conference in Norfolk.

Make plans to attend! The early bird deadline is June 1. Registration information is available in the latest issue of @LAW or at www.nals.org.

What's for Dinner?

I knew that would get your attention. We've got a lot of great education to wet your appetite for knowledge.

Our opening keynote speaker will be Randy Singer, award-winning novelist and trial lawyer, who will be drawing on the cases he's tried and stories he's written to illustrate principles of success for legal professionals. What can you learn about life from a bloody band-aid in a fast food hamburger? Is the case of the telltale heart fact or fiction? Sometimes, our most important lessons are learned through the strangest circumstances, and sometimes, truth is stranger than fiction.

Singer has penned six legal thrillers, including Directed Verdict, which won the Christy Award in 2003 for the best Christian suspense novel, and three nonfiction books. In addition to his law practice and writing, Randy teaches at Regent Law School, serves on the Board of Legal Advisors for the American Center for Law and Justice, and co-hosts a radio show on Sirius Channel 161.

So, are you hungry for more? Tune in next time to learn more about our conference speakers.
