Guide to Legal Education and Training

Find legal education and training courses and seminars

There are a large number of legal seminars and lawyer training courses found online for you to sign up for and/or travel to. Many state bar associations and the national groups offer a large number of continuing legal education courses, seminars and conferences where you can pick up continuing education credits.

I recommend: The National Business Institute has been providing continuing legal education for over 20 years. They offer programs like Advanced Issues in Employment Law, Evictions and Landlord Tenant Law and Product Liability, Drafting LLC and LLP Agreements, Bad Faith Litigation, Road and Access Law and Litigation to help you carve out specialty offerings for your clients. Check out the American Bar Association's Center for Continuing Legal Education. Look at the programs offered by the West LegalEdcenter. Look into conference information from the Association for Continuing Legal Education.

Consider online legal education for your legal training

Online legal education courses let you take lawyer education and training in the comfort of your own home, at your own pace and on your own schedule.

I recommend: Look at the online courses offered through the American Law Institute/American Bar Association. Check out the featured online continuing legal education classes from Lawline, CLE Inc. Check out CLE catalogs by state from Legalspan, Inc.

Look at continuing legal education programs

If you have more time that you can invest, consider taking a whole continuing legal education course as opposed to just a week or weekend seminar.

I recommend: Find out about the award-winning training offered by The Institute of Continuing Legal Education. Check the calendar for continuing education classes in New York listed from New York CLE.
