The country’s best Probate and Estate Planning section opened its second half century of annual conferences yesterday with the ICLE Probate and Estate Planning Institute at the Grand Traverse Resort in Acme, Michigan, setting conference attendance records.
In addition to ICLE’s usual high quality programming, a highlight this year was the presentation of the George A. Cooney Society award to long-time Michigan probate superstar John Martin. George Cooney was a greatly esteemed Michigan probate lawyer and the society in his name was created to recognize outstanding contributions to continuing legal education.
