Must-Watch May CLE: Attorney Wellness, National Security and the Press, and More
Although some states are starting to lift their stay at home orders, most lawyers are facing another month away from their offices - so there’s no better time to catch up on your CLE! At this point, most states are allowing attorneys to do their credits online, and many attorneys are looking to expand their practices to bring in more business or do some pro bono COVID relief.
Of course, you might be feeling a little burned out on the neverending COVID-related information, but never fear! This month we are bringing you plenty of great CLE programs unrelated to the current crisis, including topics ranging from attorney wellness to National Security and the Press (timely!). (Still looking for COVID content? Check out our full list of free webinars and CLE here.) So sit back, relax, and enjoy these great CLE programs from top-rated Lawline faculty.
