Update to the CLE Rules
The
CLE Board issued two updates to the CLE program rules, including the addition of a new category of
CLE credit.
In addition to ethics and professionalism,
skills, law practice management, and areas of professional practice, a new
category was added for diversity, inclusion and elimination of bias courses. This
category of credit is effective July 1, 2018. Providers of CLE will be able
to classify courses as diversity, inclusion and elimination of bias courses.
For more information regarding this new rule visit: www.nycourts.gov/attorneys/CLE
In an effort to
assist attorneys with compliance with the new rules, free CLE programs were offered on
diversity, inclusion and elimination of bias topics for NYSBA
members. The online on-demand archives as well as upcoming live programs are listed below.
If you have course proposals and
speaker suggestions for programs that incorporate diversity, inclusion and the
elimination of bias topics please email them
to NYSBA CLE Director, Katherine Suchocki.
