B. Michael Korte of The Korte Law Firm, LLC, has agreed to speak at the 2021 Annual Workers’ Compensation CLE Seminar of Kids Chance of Missouri.
As was the case in 2020, this year’s seminar will be a live virtual event, and will be held on June 18.
Korte will once again be co-presenting with Christopher T. Archer of Archer & Lassa, LLC, updating developments in Missouri work comp case law since last year’s seminar.
“Chris and I have been presenting this lecture, in one venue or another, for over 20 years, and we always appreciate the opportunity to present this topic to our colleagues,” said Korte. “Presenting virtually for the first time last year proved to be a winning combination, even though we couldn’t interact easily with our audience.”
Kids’ Chance of Missouri is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that provides post-high school scholarships to children of Missouri workers killed or seriously injured on the job. Kids’ Chance believes that we can make a difference in the lives of all children affected by a workplace injury by helping them achieve their educational goals. In the last three school years, it has issued almost $500,000 in scholarships.
Korte is a Fellow in the College of Workers’ Compensation Lawyers. He is the author of Volume 29 of the Missouri Practice series of Thomson Reuters, Workers’ Compensation Law and Practice, and its addendum, Volume 29A.
He is a recipient of the Workers’ Compensation Distinguished Lawyer Award of The Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis and Kids’ Chance, the Outstanding Service Award for his service as a former president of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, and has been recognized annually since 2014 by The Workers’ Injury Law and Advocacy Group, a nationwide workers’ compensation bar association as one of the top 100 workers’ compensation attorneys in America.
