Our 250th episode has us looking back 250 years, and looking ahead to the next year of commemoration of those 250 year anniversaries. Sure enough, there is much gold to mine in those momentous events; much to inform us on matters of current import. We recall and examine a Declaration that is 250 years old - no, not that one. To top it off, we have a special guest that joins us to tie it all together as only he can. Tune in and join the celebration! CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
