Product Description
Product Description
You need a solid, basic understanding of zoning if you represent clients who own, develop, buy, sell, manage, or otherwise deal with real property. Zoning issues arise regularly for the residential real property conveyancer, high-stakes commercial deal-maker, title certifier, developer’s counsel, lender’s counsel, business or litigation generalist, and municipal lawyer. This program explains the basics of zoning in Massachusetts. It is geared to those who are relatively new lawyers or new to the practice area, but also offers value for more experienced practitioners who want a refresher. Planners and other non-lawyers also find it helpful.
Learn how to review and apply a zoning ordinance or bylaw, what the Zoning Act requires, prohibits and allows, how to be effective in practicing before local boards, and what happens in an appeal to the Land Court. Let MCLE’s faculty of zoning experts sharpen your skills for your first, or next, zoning-related matter.
