Discounted MCLE

LABA offers several continuing legal education (CLE) courses each year. Excellent presentations on every topic of law are offered at convenient times throughout the year, including presentations that will fulfill the law ethics/professional responsibility requirement. The cost of LABA membership is much less than a single seminar, which can often cost $500-$1,000, not including travel. The money you save obtaining your MCLE requirements through LABA will more than offset the cost of your membership dues.
