Continuing Legal Education (CLE)

Columbia Law School has been certified by the New York State Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Board as an Accredited Provider of CLE programs.

Under New York State CLE regulations, this transitional and non-transitional CLE program will provide in aggregate a maximum of 4.5 credit hours which can be applied toward the Areas of Professional Practice requirement as follows:

Session 1 - Prevention	NYS CLE: 1.5 credit hours, Areas of Professional Practice
Session 2 - Keynote speech	NYS CLE: 0.5 credit hours, Areas of Professional Practice
Session 3 - Early Intervention and Resolution	Session Keynote Address NYS CLE: 1.0 credit hours, Areas of Professional Practice Resolution Roundtable NYS CLE: 1.5 credit hours, Areas of Professional Practice

US-Barred Attorneys (New York State) Attorneys wishing to receive CLE credit should pre-register for the Conference using the Conference registration facility. At the conference itself, attorneys seeking credit must sign the program register both prior to and following their attending program sessions, both in the morning and afternoon. CLE credit will be awarded only for attendance of entire sessions, as reflected in the register. Attorneys attending only part of a session (e.g. arriving late or leaving early) are not eligible for partial credit for the session, although they are welcome to attend it. On departure, attorneys seeking credit should submit their completed Evaluation Form, provided at the Conference.

US-Barred Attorneys (Non New York State): Please note that only New York State certificates will be issued. However, individual attorneys may request accreditation from their particular states for, or in some cases may simply report, credits earned from a CLE program which was given by an out-of-state Accredited Provider. Each state has its own procedure, and attorneys should check their state’s rules governing the reporting of these credits.
