Robey Memorial Library in Waukon is hosting the ISBA People’s Law School series through April 21. The library is partnering with the Iowa State Bar Association (ISBA) to bring free high-quality adult programming to the local community.

This session’s speaker is Scott Hall, a partner in Carney & Appleby Law. His practice is centered around property rights. He practices in all areas of real estate, probate, estate planning, business and civil litigation. Hall routinely balances both transactional matters and trial work. He is engaged in nearly every area of the law from personal injury and medical malpractice litigation, to subrogation claims, to business and property transactions both basic and complex. His background in business, research and writing, and trial work has allowed him to advocate for clients in many different venues with purpose and professionalism.
