  • Spotlight on William ("Bill") Hubbard 

    This summer quarter, we spotlight one of our Elder Law pioneers, William (“Bill”) Hubbard, as the attorney with a lot of elder law practice tenure.

  • First Annual Elder Law Institute a Success!

  • Getting to YES! 

    As the Missouri population ages, questions (and disputes) will occur with more frequency as family members struggle with issues of the aging population. Mediation is one answer to avoid clogging the court system with additional litigation.  (More)

    A Missouri Bar CLE webinar will be held on Wednesday, October 3, 2012 concerning MO HealthNet services other than for nursing homes (i.e., non-vendor and waiver service eligibility requirements). (More)
