Many state bars have a calendar year-end deadline for obtaining required CLE credits. If you’re like me, that means you frequently find yourself scrambling in December to complete your CLE requirement. That crunch can result in lawyers signing up for some pretty strange last-minute courses. For example, a friend and former colleague of mine who’s an M&A lawyer spent a few hours last New Year’s Eve attending an online CLE program on “Litigating Truck Accidents in Ohio.”  Hey, like they say, beggars can’t be choosers.

I think many of us have found ourselves in a similar position when we’re up against a CLE deadline, so we thought that helping our members avoid spending their New Year’s Eve listening to irrelevant CLE programs would make the perfectly holiday gift – and that’s exactly what we’ve done. Effective immediately, each of our 2023 webcasts is eligible for on-demand CLE credit!

Is there any fine print?  Don’t be silly – of course there is. In order to qualify for CLE credit, you must follow the following instructions:

– Watch the recorded program by clicking “Access On Demand Program/Earn CLE Credit” on the webcast homepage. You must watch the entire program and may not skip ahead or close the video player screen.

– When the program has concluded, you’ll need to click the link at the bottom of the video player, “Click Here to Access the Form,” and enter your state and license information.

– If you have questions about CLE Credit, please visit our CLE FAQ page or contact our CLE provider: CEU Institute, accreditation@ceuinstitute.net.

All approvals for CLE credit are at the discretion of the state bar based on content and deadlines. Pending state bar approvals, these courses will be eligible for credit for two years. The CLE provider for these events, CEU Institute will seek CLE credit for the webcast in applicable states. All credits will be subject to each state’s decision on accreditation. A CLE certificate will be sent if/when approved by that state.

We are always looking for ways to enhance the benefits of membership in TheCorporateCounsel.net, and hope you’ll agree that offering easy access to high-quality, relevant, on-demand CLE programs makes a membership in TheCorporateCounsel.net even more valuable! If you are not a member, email sales@ccrcorp.com or sign up online today and get access to on-demand CLE and all of our other resources.
