In-Person CLEs State-by-State

In-person programs are not only educational; they are a classic way to establish those connections so useful to growing your practice. In many cases, they are hosted by volunteer programs that will help you work on a case while picking up experience and making further contacts.

The process works better if you have an "elevator speech" ready: what is your law practice about, and how does it relate to the subject matter of this program you're attending. Preparation counts!
