2006 seminar slate geared to MCLE rule

The ISBA Committee on Continuing Legal Education has scheduled several Law Ed Series seminars in early 2006 to help members begin to accumulate credits for the Illinois Supreme Court's new MCLE standards.

Up to 10 hours of MCLE that are accrued after Jan. 1 may be carried over into the two-year reporting periods that begin July 1, 2006, for attorneys whose names begin with A through M, and July 1, 2007, for those whose names begin with N through Z.
