Free CLE for Members of the Young Lawyers Division

To ensure the quality of our public service initiatives, it is necessary to recruit and retain a solid membership base. The ABA YLD recognizes, as many state and local affiliates similarly recognize, that 90% of its membership does not actively participate in its meetings and programs throughout the bar year. This year's member service initiative provides a valuable benefit to all members, but particularly those who do not otherwise participate in the activities of the Division. This is done by the creation of on-line CLE programs, accessible at any time, day or night, concerning topics of interest to young lawyers. More than 40 programs are now available in the library.

These online CLE programs are free for all young lawyers who are ABA members.
Our online CLE library now includes: Masters On Depositions, and How to Conduct a Killer Cross-Examination and many more. The link above will provide descriptions and access to the YLD online library.

ABA CLE Connection
Through monthly ABA Journal articles and 60-minute companion teleconferences, the ABA is delivering substantive, convenient, continuing legal education opportunities to lawyers on the topical legal issues of the day. This series, a joint project of the ABA Center for Continuing Legal Education, ABA Membership and the ABA Journal, is designed to provide the legal practitioner with substantive information ranging from health care issues to juvenile rights to litigation management.

Mark your calendar for the third Wednesday of each month. All programs begin at 1:00P.M. Eastern Time (ET).

CLE at Meetings and National Conferences
For those Division members able to attend the national and/or regional meetings, the Division will continue to offer diverse programming, including affiliate public service and member service projects, bar leadership and professional development along with continuing legal education. Please join us in making this Division an invaluable resource for the public and for our members. For upcoming meetings visit our meetings page.
