camclerules's Journal: More on California CLE Courses

There is always something to learn this is true for attorneys, and it is certainly true for paralegals. Education after employment is referred to as continuing legal education (CLE). CLE is offered mainly by or through a bar association or a paralegal association. There are two main ways in which CLE takes place. The traditional way is to go to a brick-and-mortar building such as a downtown hotel facility. The training might occur on a workday afternoon or on a Saturday. Alternatively, a great deal of California CLE courses is now offered online so that the course can be taken at any time during the week. CLE is significantly different from the paralegal education you initially received. CLE is usually short term; most courses can be completed in one day or less. Because CLE occurs while you are employed, you are able to select seminars that directly and immediately relate to your day-to-day job responsibilities.

California CLE courses are not limited to substantive law topics. According to a survey of legal staff, the top CLE subjects were as follows: 68% software training, 59% time management, 57% getting along with difficult people, 42% effective use of e-mail and 29% electronic filing (c-filing) of court documents Often, the employer is willing to pay all or part of your expenses in attending such seminars and to give you time off if they occur during work hours. Even if your employer refuses to pay for them, you should go on your own time and at your own expense. Few things are more important to the professional development of a paralegal than CLEâ"and what you pay out-of-pocket is tax deductible. In almost every state, attorneys must attend a designated number of CLE hours per year as a condition of maintaining their license to practice law.
