CLE Information

Alt Legal Community Events

We are happy to be able to provide CLE credit in dozens of states for select Alt Legal Community webinars and events. As of February of 2024, The American Bar Association (ABA) manages all CLE applications, attendance submission, and Certificates of Attendance. If you have questions about the Certificate you received (or didn’t receive) in February of 2024 or later, please contact the ABA at mcle-altlegal@americanbar.org. If you have a question about a previous event or need to speak with us, please send us an email at cle@altlegal.com or call us at (646) 665-7975.

  • To qualify for CLE credit, you need to actively watch the entire webinar or session. For webinars, a pop-up window will appear at several random times. Simply click on the window to verify your attendance. There may be as many as 10 pop-ups during the course of the webinar, so make sure to have the webinar in the top window of your browser for the entire presentation, and be on the lookout for the popup. If you miss one or two pop-ups, you are still able to get credit, but stay alert and avoid multitasking to ensure you qualify. As long as you’re in the room for the entire webinar and click all (or almost all) the pop-up windows, the ABA will send you an email with instructions for receiving your Certificate of Attendance.

    For in-person events, you will need to sign in and out of each session and be in the room and active for the entire session. We will submit sign-in sheets to the ABA within a few days of the end of the event, and they will send your Certificate of Attendance.

  • We are unable to provide you with a certificate of attendance unless you attend the webinar or session live. However, check with your state’s Bar to see if you can still receive self-study credit.

  • Materials will be distributed in the chat during each webinar. In addition, you can find the materials for soon upcoming and past webinars in the On-Demand section of our website. For in-person events, we will send out a link to the materials and provide you with access to them during the event as well.

  • We have worked hard to try to ensure that everyone in the US can get CLE credit for our webinars and events. Some states we apply to directly, some we apply to only if they’re requested, and some will require you to self-apply (and perhaps pay a small fee). See our State-by-State CLE breakdown at the end of this page for more detailed information about your state.

  • Within a few days of the webinar, you will receive an email from mcle-altlegal@americanbar.org with instructions for requesting CLE in your state, and they will send you your Certificates of Attendance as quickly as they can get everything processed.

  • If you submitted your information to the ABA more than a week ago and have not heard back from them, please email them at mcle-altlegal@americanbar.org. Alt Legal no longer issues Certificates of Attendance. If we can help with anything, though, please email us at cle@altlegal.com.
