Suitcasing & Outboarding Policy

At CLOC, we’re proud to bring together the entire legal ecosystem through our events. Our priority is to ensure that every member of the CLOC community—attendees, sponsors, and partners alike—enjoys a positive and successful experience.

To help maintain that standard, we’ve put policies in place to protect against practices such as suitcasing and outboarding.
