Education

Continuing Legal Education (CLE) at Your Fingertips

The California Lawyers Associations was long the primary provider of continuing legal education for The State Bar of California.  Now as an independent entity, we are keeping up the proud tradition of providing CLE custom-made for our our members’ specialized areas of practice, and in all of the MCLE subcategories (Legal Ethics, Competency Issues, and Recognition and Elimination of Bias in the Legal Profession and Society).  

Live Programs

From brown bag lunches in a Judge’s chambers to three-day programs at destination hotels, we offer a host of live programs in the course of the year.  See what’s coming up HERE.

Online CLE and Webcasts

Our catalog of online CLE for participatory MCLE credit is extensive.  You can search programs by your Section, or in one of the areas of legal specialization or MCLE credit.  Access these offerings in the format that works best for you. Participate in Webinars during lunch, listen to CLEtoGO (Podcasts) on your commute, watch OnDemand offerings at any time, or read Online Articles for self-study MCLE credit! See it all HERE

Self-Study

Low cost self-study tests, often based on articles from Sections publications, offer a low-cost way of completing the self-study portion of your MCLE requirements. See our ever-changing selection HERE.

CLA also offers six hours of free self-study MCLE to members. For more information, click HERE.
