Traditional options for CLE creditólive seminars--often require money to be spent on travel, hotel and class registration, while attorney hourly revenue is often lost because lawyers leave their practices to attend live programs. By providing lawyers a tool to complete all or part of their CLE requirements over the internet, whether at home or in the office, costs are reduced by having the internet become the ìclassroomî.
