22+ AV Credits Free ... in Time for Year-End!

If you haven't subscribed to the 4freeCLE newsletter, you may have missed our special "22+ AV Credits" issue, created by request of a Washington State friend. Don't worry - I've copied it below so you can start earning credit now! (But first, take a moment to sign up for the free newsletter!)

Washington State lets lawyers satisfy half of our 45 credit CLE requirement through AV, including all 6 Ethics credits. This special issue of 4freeCLE lists more than 22.5 AV credits (including more than 6 Ethics credits) so you may have some choice of content. Some of the providers require you to create a login before you can view their programs, but this is free. Some of the providers may not have updated their websites to reflect that Washington has granted credit to their events, but each of the events listed here has been granted credit according to Washington's online database, and the Activity ID for each is listed. You may copy-and-paste that ID when you fill out your Form 1 to report attendance. Enjoy these seminars! And remember to sign up for regular newsletter issues so you can keep abreast of CLE opportunities throughout the reporting cycle!
