CLE Accreditation:
This event is currently pending CLE credit.
We will be applying for 9.5 CLE credit hours, including 1 legal ethics credit with the State Bar of California and the State Bar of Pennsylvania. Most attendees should be able to self-report CLE credit to their own state bars, and in instances where a state bar requires that the event sponsor report on behalf of attendees, NPAP is happy to assist.
Details for obtaining credit will be shared with all attendees once our application has been approved.
Event Recording:
The event will be recorded in its entirety and recordings of each panel will be available to attendees after the event. However, attendees will only be eligible for CLE credit for the portions of the event that they attended live, either in-person or virtually. Retroactive viewing of recordings will not be eligible for CLE credit, as NPAP does not have a means of validating attendee participation in this circumstance.
Financial Support:
NPAP never wants cost to be a barrier to attendance for our programming and we are happy to work with anyone interested in attending to find a means to make the program accessible. If you require financial support, please contact Re’Neisha at assistant.npap@nlg.org for assistance.
Accessibility:
It is our priority to ensure accessibility for all attendees - please contact Re’Neisha at assistant.npap@nlg.org if you have specific inquiries regarding physical accessibility of the venue or virtual experience.
