Millsaps College's Else School of Management is offering 12 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit in litigation practice, substantive law updates and contemporary practice issues in a unique environment. The program will be based out of Millsaps College's facilities in the State of Yucatán, Mexico.

The program will begin in the Else School of Management's own Center for Business and Culture in Mérida, Mexico, a city dating back to the early 1540's.

Several other activities and excursions are planned for the trip; find out more!
