Notarizations: What You’re Really Doing — Duties, Risks, and Best Practices

Join the Young Lawyers Section for a lunch-and-learn session on what it really means to act as a notary. Jonathan Saumier (NSBS) will explain what you are certifying when you notarize a document, the professional obligations you owe, common sources of liability, and best practices to protect yourself and your clients. Whether you notarize documents daily or only occasionally, this session aims to equip attendees with clarity on this often-misunderstood process.
