The Changing Nature of the Practice of Continuing Legal Education: Trends, Issues, and Future Directions
Type of Presentation
Concurrent Session (45 minutes)
Session Abstract
This session will examine the many technological, regulatory, and legal practice-related challenges for continuing legal education initiatives that are and will continue to shape CLE practice in the years ahead.
Target Audience
Participants in this session could include: 1) CLE providers from for-profit, university-based, and not-for profit providers; 2) adult educators who serve as content-related presenters for continuing legal education programs; 3) members of state-based bar association or court associated CLE regulatory bodies; 4) graduate students with an academic and practice-related interest in continuing legal education; 5) university faculty members and administrators with academic interests and programmatic interests in broadly-based CLE matters; and 6) other adult educators with an interest in continuing professional education in various fields.
Learning Outcomes
As a result of this session, participants will:
1) identify current trends in continuing legal education practice as exemplified by leading state-based national CLE regulatory bodies;
2) develop an understanding of the trends and issues that are shaping modern CLE practice;
3) become familiar with leading edge initiatives in the practice of continuing legal education; and
4) have an opportunity to network with adult educators with interests in continuing professional education in general and continuing legal education in particular.
Session Description
This session with focus upon effective and emerging CLE practices. Understanding the forces which shape modern continuing legal education practice now and in the years ahead is important and timely for a number of reasons. Increasingly, the nature of American society is being shaped by the intersection of legal practices, social values, and matters of regulatory creation and implementation. Continuing legal educators in particular, and adult educators more generally, must understand the nature of how these events occur and what educational interventions are necessary to develop and deliver to inform and improve legal practice. Likewise, careful consideration must be given to understanding the effect that emerging technology will have upon improving CLE practice in the future as well as how best to use it to facilitate learning, behavioral change, and positively influencing the results which can be traced to effective CLE interventions.
