About

New York State Continuing Legal Education rules require newly admitted attorneys to complete a minimum of (32) hours of special CLE within the first 24 months after admission. Touro Law will once again offer our Perfect for Practice program which helps our recent graduates meet this NYS CLE requirement. We are inviting you to participate in this complimentary CLE program taking place virtually on January 9th and in person on January 11th and 25th, with up to 16 credits available if you participate in all sessions. You can choose to register for individual sessions or all of our newly admitted attorney CLE credits. This will fulfill you first or second year “Bridging the Gap” requirements. You will have the opportunity to learn from some of your favorite faculty members, and other esteemed attorneys!

Light breakfast and lunch will be served at in-person sessions.

*NOTE: You can earn CLE credits from this program before being admitted! According to NYS CLE rules, you may earn a maximum of 16 CLE credits only for attendance at accredited transitional CLE courses from the date of law school graduation, up through the date of admission to the New York Bar.
