Only sixteen days until the Forensic Genealogy Institute. Michael Ramage will present a two-part session on Forensic Genealogy Fees and Contracts, Including Ethics and Liability. Do you know what a controlling law clause is? Is it legal for an attorney to hire a genealogist with payment based on splitting the fees that the lawyer collects from representing the heirs? What is bad faith and unconscionability? Michael is going to teach us! Plus participants will have the opportunity to review actual contracts specifically for forensic genealogists. Although this Forensic Genealogy Institute is booked, Council for the Advancement of Forensic Genealogy is accepting "wait list" registrations to notify folks on a priority basis for the next Institute, possibly as early as the spring. http://www.forensicgenealogists.com/forensic-genealogy-institute.html -- Dee Dee King, Certified Genealogist (sm), Certificate 903 Contract Genealogist, US Navy Casualty POW/MIA Branch Co-Director, Forensic Genealogy Institute http://www.forensicgenealogists.com/forensic-genealogy-institute.html Mail address - PO Box 1085, Manvel TX 77578 Telephone/fax 281-595-3090 www.forensicgenealogyservices.com/NavyCasualty.html www.facebook.com/forensicgenealogist Certified Genealogist (CG) is a service mark (sm) of the Board for Certification of Genealogists®, conferred to associates who consistently meet ethical and competency standards in accord with peer-reviewed evaluations every five years, and the board name is registered in the US Patent & Trademark Office.
