1. BLP only accounts for 6 hours of your 12 hour CLE requirement. You must obtain 6 additional CLE credits from other seminars. BLP Replay: Annually, the last Tuesday in March and October at the Bar Center. If you miss the live event or replay, you can view on ICLE's website, www.iclega.org, typically beginning in April. (Please note: You can only view 6 hours of CLE online in a given year.) You can search for upcoming seminars by date or topic at www.iclega.org.

2. You receive mentoring credit for Group Mentoring Events, not CLE hours. You must obtain 6 additional credits from another seminar(s) to satisfy your 12 hour mandatory CLE requirement.

3. Only the March and August Group Mentoring Events are videotaped. The March event stays online five months after taping for viewing and the August event stays online six months after taping for viewing.
