Edina Realty Legal Update 2014

When you’re in charge of legal trouble-shooting for 2,200 active local Realtors, you don’t have the luxury of asking — and answering — hypothetical questions.

Real life serves up every possible legal permutation one could imagine.

Which is what prompted Edina Realty General Counsel Mark Christopherson, at the company’s Legal Update seminar Monday, to note that “there’s no such thing as a hypothetical question” for Edina’s 3-man legal department.

All of whom know me personally.

And that’s a good thing, I might hasten to add . . .

P.S.: for everyone other than Edina’s legal dept., the question about hypotheticals is a famous, “insider” joke about law school and its Socratic method.
