Continuing Legal Education (CLE)

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) refers to the ongoing training and education that licensed lawyers engage in to maintain their professional competence and stay current with legal developments. CLE requirements vary by jurisdiction but generally involve completing a specified number of credit hours through seminars, courses, or workshops within a given period. This ensures lawyers remain knowledgeable about changes in law, ethical standards, and best practices, ultimately supporting high-quality service to clients and the integrity of the legal profession.
