Our mission is simple:

Legal Education combined with community presented to you in a revolutionary new web-based  application.

David, my kiteboard-riding, backpack-toting, flip-flop-wearing tech-hero, will continue to update you on the technology we will be using to make your experience at Solo Practice University? top shelf.

My pleasure is to keep you posted on the incredible education you will be receiving.

This summer we will be introducing you to the faculty.  I promise you will be blown away.

Solo Practice University? is not a brick and mortar structure so we can ?house? as many faculty as we choose.  Therefore, this list of faculty and topics is by no means exhaustive.  We will not be limiting the number of faculty in any given area because this will be a place of ideas, opinions, debate, different skills sets, perspectives; a community of peers with a single passion - building their solo practice and helping you to build yours.   

Therefore, I am extending an invitation to the more than 600 current subscribers to this construction blog: If you would like to teach at Solo Practice University? or know of someone who would be an asset to this community of solo lawyers and professionals, feel free to contact me to discuss the possibilities.
