CLE Credit
Wisconsin CLE credit has been approved for for each of the six separate programs. In Wisconsin, each hour of the program is a separate CLE program, and you will report attendance to six different programs. Even though the subject matter of part of the program is ethics, the program is offered for standard CLE credit only in Wisconsin. Wisconsin attorneys must satisfy their ethics and professional responsibility credits with "live" programs. The expiration date for these programs means that you must take the program prior to that date. It is still valid for credit, even though your reporting cycle might end after that date. All or part of this program has also been approved for Iowa and Minnesota credit. An additional fee may apply for Iowa or Minnesota credit.
Course
Description
Parts 1-3: Ethics Refresher 2015. (3.0 hours, 3 audio segments). This is a comprehensive review of the Rules of Professional Conduct for attorneys in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Iowa. All three states have adopted substantially similar rules governing lawyers, and this course will review the rules as adopted in all three states. Where the rules differ, we will go over the differences. Seeing these differences is useful for the practitioner in that particular state, but also gives insight into the meaning of the rule in other states. And since the same model rules serve as the basis for most states' rules, this course will provide practical guidance for attorneys in most U.S. jurisdictions. Many lawyers review the Rules in their entirety only once, and that is before they take the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam in law school. But the rules change over the years and decades, and some of the finer points might be forgotten. Therefore, this course will serve as a useful refresher for the practitioner to avoid ethical pitfalls. This program was originally presented on June 20, 21, and 29, 2015, 180 minutes.
Part 4: First Amendment Issues in K-12 Education. (1.0 hour, 1 audio segment). This program is a brief overview of First Amendment issues affecting K-12 public education. We'll cover some of the leading cases from the U.S. Supreme Court, the Eighth Circuit, and other courts. Topics will include: school speech, establishment clause, free exercise clause, clothing, school newspapers and yearbooks, distribution of literature, student clubs, off-campus speech, book censorship, and the pledge of allegiance. Originally presented May 5, 2015, 60 minutes.
Part 5:Recent Appellate Decisions (Feb. 25). This program will be a summary of recent decisions from appellate courts in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and other states. Sixty minutes, originally presented February 25, 2015, 60 minutes. Topics include:
