Our CLE pledge Effective, Convenient, Affordable The Illinois Supreme Court's adoption of a Continuing Legal Education rule brings with it an expanded opportunity for the Illinois State Bar Association to serve the needs and interests of its members and all Illinois lawyers. We pledge that ISBA's Law Ed will serve your CLE needs with programs that are: Effective - Law Ed programs will continue to be tailored to your practice needs and interests. We offer different tiers of programming to address your specific needs at different stages of your career – “Back to Basics” courses for those starting out, “Updates” and “Hot Topics” courses for more experienced practitioners, and “Masters Series” courses that draw on the knowledge of nationally and internationally recognized presenters.Convenient - Whether you practice in Chicago, Champaign, or Carbondale, you will find program offerings that are readily accessible. Live presentations will be scheduled in more locations around the state. We will expand our distance learning opportunities for members who find it difficult to travel to program locations.Affordable - ISBA Law Ed programs will continue to be the best bargain available anywhere. Pricing for Law Ed will be consistent with the principle that your dues entitle you to receive high quality programming at reasonable cost.As an ISBA member, the price you pay for Law Ed programs will be half the price charged to non-members of the Association, and much less than what many other providers charge. In fact, the discounted member price can save members more than the cost of their dues. Sincerely, Robert K. Downs, President |
