Courses on drawing legal descriptions usually involve the participants using protractors and triangular engineer's scales and spending long hours drawing out sample legal descriptions. But it doesn't have to be that way. Dick Bales has written a basic legal description class for attorneys. Dick believes that in one hour, attorneys will not only be able to understand metes and bounds legal descriptions, they will be able to draw metes and bounds legal descriptions--all by attending a one hour Zoom presentation. Participating attorneys should have the following at their desks: a few sheets of paper, a 12-inch ruler, and two pencils, one of which must have an eraser on the end.
