Launching your legal career can feel overwhelming, but with the right mindset and strategies, you can excel from the start.

Course Format and CLE Credit Information

This course includes two types of learning components:

  • A 60-minute webinar, which is eligible for CLE credit in most jurisdictions (subject to individual state approval)
  • A set of interactive self-study eLearning modules, which are not eligible for CLE credit

While the total course duration is approximately 120 minutes, only the 60-minute webinar may qualify for CLE credit. CLE credit is awarded only for participation in the webinar, and credit eligibility may vary by state. We recommend verifying credit eligibility with your specific state bar or accrediting authority prior to enrollment.
