Want the opportunity to write for the Minnesota Estate Law Blog and have the chance to be read by the hundreds of readers who visit this blog each month?

The 36th Annual Probate and Trust Law Conference put on by Minnesota CLE is coming up June 7th through the 8th. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend this year. If you’ve been a long-time reader of this blog, you might remember that last year I “live-tweeted” the conference and wrote a review of the conference after it was done.

Since I can’t make it, I’m looking for people who are going to the conference who want to write mini-reviews. These reviews could be about one particular session, a plenary session, the whole conference, or whatever. They don’t have to be long posts– shorter is better.

So if you are a Minnesota attorney, are going to the conference, and want to submit reviews during or after the conference, just contact me via my web-form to let me know. I’ll send you more details by email prior to the conference. Any post or posts you write that are included on the blog will feature your name, firm, and a link back to your own website or your contact information (whatever you choose).

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hennepin County has announced the need to fill two, part-time referee positions in the probate/mental-health division. Find out more and how to apply here.

The Minnesota chapter of the National Healthcare Decision Day is trying to spread the word about all the events planned for April 16th. Check out the information on their website: www.mnhealthcaredecisions.info and consider getting involved.

{For iPhone users}

Those of you who read this blog on your iPhone will find it easier to navigate with the recent addition of a plugin that enables an iPhone-friendly theme for faster loading and better content presentation. You also have the option of viewing the website normally, just as everyone else does.

If you are an iPhone user, let me know in the comments how it looks and if something could be better (colors, fonts, etc.)

If you aren’t an iPhone user, don’t worry– I still think the normal way is the best way to view this website.

Update: This feature was disabled on 5/15/10 because it seemed to make loading the website on the iPhone slower.

I’m taking a break from blogging for the Holidays. I’ve got a long list of blog posts that I can’t wait to share with you. In the meantime, if you haven’t already become an email or RSS feed subscriber, consider doing so now so that you can receive updates automatically. You can find subscription buttons on the right column of the website.

Merry Christmas!
