	DAY ONE: LESSONS
	Recent Court Decisions – Lessons We Need to Learn While court decisions will aid us in our decision making by providing rules for resolving conflicts and helping us to evaluate evidence discrepancies, there is an additional aid inherent in court cases – that of teaching us to learn from others’ mistakes and errors, rather than through our own. Courts are continually giving us direction and guidance, as well as indicating what professionals are doing wrong. This presentation takes the previous court decision reviews to the next level.

	DAY TWO: CHOICES
	Making the Right Choices Professional Liability & Ethics is being offered at the request of several past attendees. This half-day presentation focuses on the basic elements of liability, gross mistakes made by surveyors (from which we can learn), and finally being ethical in our professional practice. The presentation deals with the elements of ethical behavior while presenting ethical situations and gross errors in judgment by several surveyors, as well as other professionals. Whose Footsteps Are These? The legal standard is to follow the footsteps of the original surveyor. But who was the original surveyor, and what constitutes an original survey which establishes the origin of the chain of ownerships? Making those determinations is sometimes the first obstacle to overcome. Sometimes there are many sets and combinations of “footsteps”, not all of which satisfy the legal requirement, and not all of which are reliable, but are misleading, sometimes erroneous and in conflict with one another. This half-day seminar aids in the identification and separation of former footsteps in our endeavor to follow the right set at the right time and for the right reasons.
