Fall CLE schedule will provide ample opportunity to log creditThe countdown has begun for Illinois lawyers whose last names begin with N through Z to accumulate 20 hours of MCLE credit by June 30, 2009. Those whose names begin with A through M have until June 30, 2010, to log 24 MCLE hours (an increase from 20 in the first reporting period), and it's never too early to start.
