Chicago – The Commercial Law League of America‘s Complex Commercial Litigation Committee (CCLC) has announced that it will sponsor its second program. The CCLC program will take place during the CLLA’s 80th Midwest Meeting and 116th National Convention, which will be held from April 29 to May 2, 2010 in Chicago at the Westin Michigan Avenue at 909 N.
