Please provide a brief summary in narrative form, describing the content of the proposed program indicating why it’s important attorneys in this particular practice area should attend.

Please upload a timed agenda for your program in a word document detailing the amount of time spent on each segment of the program. When creating a timed agenda please keep in mind the credit-hour for NY is 50 minutes with credit increments of 25 minutes equaling 0.5 CLE credits. Of course, you are not limited to 25 or 50 mins per section but it will simplify and maximize credit calculations. The CLE agenda should also include allocated time for the introduction of the program/faculty, any breaks, and Q/A each typically lasting anywhere between 5-15 minutes.


6. List of Potential Speakers & Affiliation:*

(The NYS Office of Court Administration requires at least one program speaker in each segment to be a licensed member of a state bar in good standing. The NYC Bar strongly encourages faculties and panels to evidence gender diversity, as well as diversity of historically underrepresented groups, LGBTQ, and differently abled persons.)


7. Co-sponsoring Committees: The NYC Bar encourages committees to cosponsor one another’s CLE programs to the extent there is overlapping interest. Keeping this in mind please list any possible cosponsoring committees.
