Minnesota On-Demand CLE: June 2015 Programs

3.5 Approved Minnesota CLE Credits for Only $25

This program expires on Sunday, June 25, 2017, and must be taken before then. If you listened to the program on or before June 25, please include the date you took the program along with the code words. If you need credits after June 25, then please visit my main CLE page.

Minnesota attorneys may now use "on demand" programs for a portion of their CLE requirements. On December 6, 2013, the Minnesota Supreme Court amended the Minnesota CLE rules to permit "on-demand" CLE programs. The new rules took effect on July 1, 2014. Minnesota attorneys may now complete up to 15 of their required 45 credits using on-demand programs. You are now able to download a program and take it at your convenience.

This 3.5 credit program is a replay of live CLE programs presented in 2015. This program can be taken for Minnesota CLE credit until June 25, 2017.

If you need ethics or elimination of bias credits, I also have on-demand programs covering those topics. Please visit my main CLE page for details.
