There is absolutely no cost to attend this programs, and no payment is expected. If, however, you wish to make a voluntary payment, you may do so after the program. For full information, read why this program is free. You will receive full CLE credit whether or not you decide to pay.
This is a convenient way to earn CLE credits at no cost. If you need additional credits, I have additional low-cost programs available. There is, however, no obligation, and you're welcome to take the free program, even if you don't intend to take any additional programs.
At the time of the program, you simply call in, enter the access code, and listen to the program. You can submit live questions during the program. Your only cost will be the normal long-distance charge to an Iowa telephone number. If you have unlimited long distance, there will be no cost whatsoever.
July 20, 2022: Introduction to Minnesota Campaign Finance Law and Procedure, Part 2. This one-hour CLE will address campaign finance in Minnesota state races (as opposed to federal races, which are governed by federal law). Federal campaign finance statutes are not applicable to state races. Accordingly, the finances of campaigns in state races are governed entirely by state statutes and the U.S. Constitution. This is a continuation of the program presented on June 29. (Live lecture, 60 minutes.)
Course materials are available at the following links:

This program is absolutely free, and there is no obligation to pay any fee whatsoever. These free CLE programs are an experiment on my part.
I expect that most of the attorneys attending will do so because the program is free, and I honestly don't mind. For some attorneys, the cost of maintaining a license and earning CLE credits can be a significant burden, and I'm glad I'm able to help. But I'm also aware that some businesses are profitable with a "pay as you want" fee structure. This business model has been used successfully in the music industry, by restaurants and even by a taxi company. This article is what gave me the idea to try this.
This model can also work very well for Continuing Legal Education. Even though not all are able, many of the participants in my free programs are willing to make a voluntary payment to support this reasonably priced alternative. Because of the high price of traditional CLE programs, it is my hope that these low-cost programs will be sustainable through voluntary payment. If this method proves successful, then I can continue to make programs, including my popular ethics courses, available on the same "pay as you want" basis.
Therefore, I ask you to consider making a voluntary payment after taking this free program. You may pay whatever you please. The program is free, and zero is a perfectly acceptable option. Of course, if everyone pays zero, my future free programs will be infrequent. You can select any amount you wish. To give you some idea of a reasonable price, please consider the following:
If, after attending, you decide to pay for this program, you may do so in any of the following ways.
To pay using credit card, select the amount you wish to pay from the drop-down list, and click the "Buy Now" button below. You will complete the transaction with PayPal. The available options range between 50 cents and 50 dollars.
If you prefer, you can mail a check payment in any amount to:
