CLE Speakers Can Help You In Your Credit Gathering

By Etta Bowen


Many tasks require some finesse and speaking is one. CLE speakers are professionals that hold seminars every month where members can receive free continuing legal education credits. They can get eighteen hours every year through an American Bar Association membership that has the most powerful legal practitioners. If one is a member and unfortunately could not attend for some reason each program is now available five days after the transmission date.

In certain cases any lawyer that wants to be admitted will need to get a Juris Doctor degree from any law school. This degree is given to professionals that focus their practice on personal injury, family and corporate law as well as criminal law. This was first awarded in the late 19th century as was formed as a new version of the old European doctor of law degree.

The course involves writing and speaking skills such as communication, theatre, rhetoric and English composition as well as problem solving skills. The problem solving covers philosophy, statistics economics and entrepreneurship. Understanding human behaviour as well as any topic that is related to law will also be covered. Some students will be asked to take an upper level of political science and sociology depending on the institution they are attending.

For those that reside in Kentucky one will not have to pay a registration fee as long as they participate in a two day program which is known as the Kentucky Law update. This is done every year and can be found in seven different locations throughout the country. In other states one is allowed to take an on-line course as well as listen to audio downloads.

Once each applicant has earned the Juris Doctor degree they are asked to participate in a Law Clerk program. In most of the jurisdictions one is required to pass a Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. This is a sixty question, one hundred and twenty minute multiple choice exam. It is set by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and was first used in 1980.

Legal clinics are also introduced where they offer pro bono work to the public with hands on experience. Students will normally help with the meeting of clients as well as research and drawing up of legal documents. Some jurisdictions will even allow students to appear and argue in a court proceeding.

The next step to becoming a lawyer is to obtain a Juris Doctor. This is considered a professional doctorate, where one is rewarded in different fields of research. This also includes medicine, psychology and social work. This is to show that one is totally committed to becoming a lawyer and can then choose either criminal, family or corporate law as well as personal injury to major in.

The MEE, Multistate Essay Examinations is a thirty minute essay questionnaire. It has nine questions while many jurisdictions only ask that six be answered. The MPT, Multistate Performance Test is two different ones of ninety minutes each and these will cover anything to do with legal analysis, problem solving, resolution of ethical dilemmas as well as communications. These speakers are a non competitive environment where discussions can take place relating to anything that can affect the practise of law.
