Our thanks to the following sponsors

Sure online CLE can be high-quality and convenient saving you time and travel But it canrsquot replace the benefits of attending CLE in person

At live CLE you can meet leaders in your practice area judges colleagues and other professionalsmdashmany with the same concerns and issues that you may have Guidance insights and referrals you could gain from speakers and attendees can be just as valuable to your career as the CLE event itself (At many TexasBarCLE seminars yoursquoll find a special area for QampAmdasha ldquospeakers bullpenrdquo with time for informal give-and-take)

CLE not only educates and trains it can inspire and motivate through contact with others Knowledge is key to practicing law of course but knowing people is vital as well

CLE at a resort or out-of-town location offers even more opportunities Take time with colleagues for coffee a meal or a game of golf or tennis Or bring your family and enjoy some well-deserved downtime together

In other words if you get all your CLE online you could be shortchanging yourself Attending CLE in person offers you more ways to strengthen relationships and build your careermdashwhich almost certainly will make you a better lawyer

And thatrsquos the goal of CLE isnrsquot it

Getting all your CLE online

Our thanks to the following sponsors

Sure online CLE can be high-quality and convenient saving you time and travel But it canrsquot replace the benefits of attending CLE in person

At live CLE you can meet leaders in your practice area judges colleagues and other professionalsmdashmany with the same concerns and issues that you may have Guidance insights and referrals you could gain from speakers and attendees can be just as valuable to your career as the CLE event itself (At many TexasBarCLE seminars yoursquoll find a special area for QampAmdasha ldquospeakers bullpenrdquo with time for informal give-and-take)

CLE not only educates and trains it can inspire and motivate through contact with others Knowledge is key to practicing law of course but knowing people is vital as well

CLE at a resort or out-of-town location offers even more opportunities Take time with colleagues for coffee a meal or a game of golf or tennis Or bring your family and enjoy some well-deserved downtime together

In other words if you get all your CLE online you could be shortchanging yourself Attending CLE in person offers you more ways to strengthen relationships and build your careermdashwhich almost certainly will make you a better lawyer

And thatrsquos the goal of CLE isnrsquot it

Getting all your CLE online

At live CLE you can meet leaders in your practice area judges colleagues and other professionalsmdashmany with the same concerns and issues that you may have Guidance insights and referrals you could gain from speakers and attendees can be just as valuable to your career as the CLE event itself (At many TexasBarCLE seminars yoursquoll find a special area for QampAmdasha ldquospeakers bullpenrdquo with time for informal give-and-take)

CLE not only educates and trains it can inspire and motivate through contact with others Knowledge is key to practicing law of course but knowing people is vital as well

CLE at a resort or out-of-town location offers even more opportunities Take time with colleagues for coffee a meal or a game of golf or tennis Or bring your family and enjoy some well-deserved downtime together

In other words if you get all your CLE online you could be shortchanging yourself Attending CLE in person offers you more ways to strengthen relationships and build your careermdashwhich almost certainly will make you a better lawyer

And thatrsquos the goal of CLE isnrsquot it

Sure online CLE can be high-quality and convenient saving you time and travel But it canrsquot replace the benefits of attending CLE in person

At live CLE you can meet leaders in your practice area judges colleagues and other professionalsmdashmany with the same concerns and issues that you may have Guidance insights and referrals you could gain from speakers and attendees can be just as valuable to your career as the CLE event itself (At many TexasBarCLE seminars yoursquoll find a special area for QampAmdasha ldquospeakers bullpenrdquo with time for informal give-and-take)

CLE not only educates and trains it can inspire and motivate through contact with others Knowledge is key to practicing law of course but knowing people is vital as well

CLE at a resort or out-of-town location offers even more opportunities Take time with colleagues for coffee a meal or a game of golf or tennis Or bring your family and enjoy some well-deserved downtime together

In other words if you get all your CLE online you could be shortchanging yourself Attending CLE in person offers you more ways to strengthen relationships and build your careermdashwhich almost certainly will make you a better lawyer

And thatrsquos the goal of CLE isnrsquot it
