Bridge-the-Gap II for Newly Admitted Attorneys
Aug. 9 - 10, 2010Practising Law Institute-New York, NY
Overview
Recently admitted NY attorneys: This program is accredited for transitional CLE credit
Why You Should Attend
New York State MCLE Rules
Attorneys admitted to the New York State Bar after October 1997 are required to complete 16 hours of approved continuing legal education per year during the first two years of admission, including three credit hours in ethics/professionalism, six credit hours in skills, and seven credit hours in professional practice and/or law practice management.
By attending PLI’s two-day Bridge-the-Gap program, you can satisfy all of your annual MCLE requirements for newly admitted attorneys.
Please note the following New York State MCLE Rules, effective January 15, 2002.
Partial Credit - Credit shall be awarded only for attendance at an entire course or program, or for attendance at an entire session of a course or program. No credit shall be awarded for attending a portion of a course or a portion of a session.
Repeat Attendance - No CLE credit hours may be earned for repeating the same course or program, in any format, even if the course or program is repeated in a subsequent reporting cycle.
Who Should Attend
Newly admitted attorneys seeking to fulfill their MCLE requirements and "stand out" from other newly admitted attorneys by their professional expertise.
Special Bonus to all Registrants
All attendees receive a complimentary copy of PLI's comprehensive Course Handbook. This softcover, bound volume was written to augment this program and to stand alone as a permanent reference. PLI's Course Handbooks represent the definitive thinking of the nation's finest legal minds, and are often the standard reference in the field.

Non-traditional course formats such as on-demand web programs or recorded items, are not acceptable for CLE credit. Experienced attorneys may choose to attend and receive CLE credit for either a transitional course or for one geared to experienced attorneys.

If you have already received credit for attending some or the entire program, please be aware that state administrators do not permit you to accrue additional credit for repeat viewing even if an additional credit certificate is subsequently issued.
