FAQ
Can I receive CLE credits for attending this conference?
CLE credit has been sought in all states with mandatory CLE and specialization requirements. Attorneys must attend a session in its entirety and record the session attended via webCLE (www.ailawebcle.org) to receive credit. Specific instructions for how to receive credit have been included in your conference materials. Please keep track of each CLE session you attend, including the attendance code announced at the end of each session, using the Day-At-A-Glance.
What are the three types of CLE sessions and how do they differ?
There are three different types of CLE eligible sessions available for the Annual Conference.
- Live Sessions – July 20-23, 2020: These are the sessions that occur live. You must attend live to record and receive these credits. Participants seeking CLE credit for the live event will be required to submit their attendance via webCLE by Sunday, August 2, 2020, at ailawebcle.org.
- Annual Conference Recordings – You may also listen to the recordings of any live sessions you missed after the conference.

These prerecorded sessions from the June event program are available now. You can earn CLE credit by listening to these recordings before, after, or during the conference. However, your jurisdiction may limit the total number of OnDemand credit you can receive.
How do I track my credits?
