Durham, NC (PRWEB) July 2, 2010 -- A presentation by Matthew Harbin, a North Carolina Workers’ Compensation attorney at the Law Offices of James Scott Farrin, has recently been selected for inclusion in the legal book “Essentials of North Carolina Workers’ Compensation Law,” to be published by the North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ).

“My hope was that practitioners in Workers’ Compensation would come away with one or two good motions that they can file on a regular basis for their claims,” said Workers' Compensation Attorney Matthew Harbin.
The chapter was part of the paper he wrote for a 45-minute presentation that Matthew Harbin gave at a North Carolina Advocates for Justice (NCAJ) Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar titled “Navigating Claims Through the Industrial Commission.” The seminar was geared for attorneys and paralegals who practice before the North Carolina Industrial Commission (NCIC).
