See CLE Sample from a prior seminar, for PDF file responsive to most requests, including speaker biographies, table of contents and timed agendas, and a representative sample of instructional handouts.CLE credit for attorney attendees is supported by FELTG through individual applications to the registrants' state bar or commission. Each day begins at 8:30 and ends at 4:00 with an hour for lunch. Continental breakfast is served beginning at 8:00.   Cancellation FELTG reserves the right to cancel a session, or make changes, upon notice.

FELTG does not seek pre-approval of its seminars for CLE credit because the attorneys who attend often are admitted to many different state bars with many different requirements for CLE credit. However, we are happy to work with any individual attorney seeking CLE credit for attendance, and it has been our general experience that many states will approve some number of CLE credit hours based on submission of the course materials, an agenda, and resumes of the speakers. To facilitate the award of CLE, FELTG takes roll at every seminar and maintains a record of attendance for a minimum of five years, a requirement of many state bar associations. The bottom line for CLE credit is that while the responsibility for applying for credit lies with each attorney attendee, FELTG will work to assist in the application process. Please consult your state CLE commission for an 'Individual CLE Application' and let us know what submissions we can supply in your support.
