Get StartedOnce you are admitted to the bar as a professional lawyer, you are not done with your legal education and training. Most states in the United States require attorneys to complete a certain amount of Continuing Legal Education (CLE). The purpose of CLE courses is to both maintain and sharpen the legal skills of licensed attorneys while also examining new areas of the law.
The number of credit hours of CLE required of attorneys varies by state. Typically lawyers are given a period of years in which they can complete their CLE credits. Courses are offered at training centers and on the Internet. In some instances, lawyers can obtain customized training on site at their location or they may be able to receive over-the-phone instruction. Some of the CLE training centers include the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education, the American Law Institute-American Bar Association (ALI-ABA), and the Association for Continuing Legal Education (ACLEA).
CLE courses are available on a variety of topics, such as ethics, prevention of malpractice, professional responsibility, and diversity training.
