Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credits
BNA provides registered audioconference attendees with continuing legal education (CLE) credit processing services.
To expedite this service, please complete and submit the online CLE request form available at
http://attend.bna.com. Be sure to submit your online application for CLE
within seven calendar days of the audioconference. If you do not complete your online application during the processing
period, we are unable to guarantee that your CLE application will be processed.
CLE applications require the following information: full name and contact information of the requesting attorney,
including e-mail address, phone number, fax number, bar number(s), and the state(s) in which the attorney wants credits.
Please be advised BNA audioconferences are subject to approval from each CLE issuing organization and approval is not
guaranteed (state bar associations in Delaware, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio, and Pennsylvania do not grant CLE credits for
audioconferences). Non-reporting states (Maryland, District of Columbia, Nebraska, Hawaii, Arizona, New Jersey, Michigan,
Massachusetts, and South Dakota) do not require continuing legal education credits, therefore there is no formal state or
district mandated application process available. However, BNA will provide a certificate of attendance to individuals
requesting documentation for their personal records.
The approval process requires approximately three to four months for final processing in some states. Attendees will be
notified electronically, via the e-mail address provided on the online application, regarding the final status of his or
her CLE application. Any person applying for CLE credits must have paid for and attended the audioconference from start
to finish. Attendance will be taken for compliance purposes.
For more information regarding the Mandatory or Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) requirements, visit the
American Bar Association website at http://www.abanet.org/cle/mandatory.html.
Continuing Professional Education (CPE) Credits
BNA provides registered audioconference attendees with continuing professional education (CPE) credit processing
services. CPE credits are based on a 50-minute hour. To expedite this service, please complete and submit the online
CPE request form and survey available at http://attend.bna.com. Attendees requesting CPE
must include the following information in the request form: full name, contact information, phone number, and e-mail
address. Be sure to submit your online application for CPE within seven calendar days of the audioconference. If you do
not complete your online application during the seven calendar day processing period, we do not guarantee that your CPE
application will be processed in a timely manner.
Attendees will receive a certificate of completion electronically, via the e-mail address provided on the online
application, detailing the allowable number of CPE credits. The approval process requires approximately two to three
months. Any person applying for CPE credits must attend the audioconference (or live program) from start to finish and
complete a program evaluation form. Attendance will be taken for compliance purposes.
