After a careful review, the author rates online CLE sites according to criteria such as organization of course and links to other sites. In his analysis of the Taecan.com site, Mr. Ambrogi points out the extensive collaborations the company has with state and local bar associations from New York to California.

"Taecan is delighted to be recognized by Mr. Ambrogi as a top CLE site on the web. This is especially true because Mr. Ambrogi knows the legal market well and has done extensive research into what lawyers want to see on the Web for CLE."
