Discussion Topic: legal Access Considerations With Tim Elder
Tim Elder, Principal Attorney for TRE Legal, has been a fan of BBQ for some time, and he heard our cries for a person with a real understanding of the law to come around and speak about some of the topics we haven't been able to cover in a deeper fashion. Tim notes the how and the why to some of the legal considerations that he must review when providing research and council on these subjects. he also offered to come back and give us more background information on some other stories in the future. Therefore, Tim is also on Twitter at @TRELegal
