A Continuing Legal Education (CLE) program is a requirement for lawyers to maintain their license to practice law. It involves participating in courses, seminars, or workshops that update or enhance their legal knowledge and skills. These programs ensure attorneys stay current with legal developments, ethical standards, and best practices. CLE activities vary by jurisdiction but typically include a set number of hours annually or periodically. Overall, CLE helps lawyers provide competent, informed representation and uphold professional standards within the legal community.
