Description:
Earn all of your annual CLE credits while obtaining invaluable knowledge in a variety of areas. Our Bridge-the-Gap programs fulfill a full year’s credit requirements for those that are newly admitted, while providing essential information and credits for more experienced attorneys. This program is particularly distinct in that one day will allow attendees to fulfill all required ethics credits and the other day all required skills credits. Required professional practice credits will be provided over the two-day program. A skilled faculty will guide you through the day-to-day practice of law and cover topics of interest to all attorneys, including legal ethics.
Each Bridge-the-Gap program contains new and updated content and will provide CLE credit to all attendees, even if they attended in the past.
Note that Day 1 of this program will be presented via webcast only. Day 2 of this program will be presented in-person at the City Bar only!
