Agenda

CLE Details for this Event (Please Read, As Policy Has Been Recently Revised)

About CLE

Continuing legal education (also known as mandatory or minimum continuing legal education) is professional education for attorneys that is often required after their admission into a state bar. The information on this event page about CLE only applies to active attorneys who are attending the event (if you are not an attorney, you do not need to worry about CLE).

CLE Form

The day of the event, you will receive a link to a CLE form. Please wait to fill out the form until after you attend the webinar. The form will ask for your name, email address, the state(s) in which you are seeking CLE, your bar information, the length of time you attended the program, and for the codes you received during the webinar.

Certificates of Attendance

Participants seeking CLE credit will be expected to input codes into our Google form after the event to verify they were attentive. After we verify with our software that a virtual participant was logged into the webinar for the duration of the event (or for the duration that they reported attending, if they did not attend the full program) and provided accurate codes, we will provide them with a Certificate of Attendance via email. These certificates can be used to verify attendance and, in many cases, to apply for CLE credit individually in states.

ELI CLE Policy (Please Read, As This Has Been Recently Revised)

While this event is designed as an opportunity for attorneys to participate in continuing legal education, ELI makes no guarantee that the course will be accredited for CLE in any particular state. ELI is an accredited CLE provider in Vermont and Pennsylvania, so the course is automatically approved for CLE credit in those two states. ELI will not be applying for CLE accreditation in any other states for this program.

Many states offer reciprocity with the states in which we are pre-approved. Please check to see if your state offers CLE reciprocity with Vermont or Pennsylvania. If your state offers CLE reciprocity, you may be able to automatically receive CLE credit without filling out an application. Additionally, several states do not require CLE at all. Please also check to make sure your state requires you to take continuing legal education courses to maintain your bar membership.

• According to ELI’s research, members of the Alaska, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, and Wisconsin Bars may be able to claim CLE credit for attendance, as the course has been accredited by another mandatory CLE jurisdiction.*
• According to ELI’s research, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, and South Dakota Bars currently do not have mandatory continuing legal education requirements.*

*Please double check on your own to see if your state requires CLE or offers CLE reciprocity. State CLE policies change frequently, and ELI cannot guarantee that a state has not changed its policy since we conducted our research.

If your state requires CLE and your state does not offer CLE reciprocity with Vermont or Pennsylvania, you will need to apply individually with your state bar to receive CLE credit for this course. The applications are typically short and require a minimal fee. If you are solely attending this event to obtain CLE credit, please check before registering to ensure that you will be able to submit an individual attorney application in your state and that you understand the application process, requirements, and deadlines.

• On the day of the event, ELI will provide you with a timed agenda, faculty biographies, a course description, written materials, and a course evaluation. These are usually the only materials you will need (along with your Certificate of Attendance) to apply for individual CLE credit. Should you need any additional items, please contact us (cle@eli.org), and we will do our best to assist.
