Have any of you asked your firm to pay for the Phase 2 of the CLE requirement? If so, have they paid for it? I just started at an AM200 firm and I don’t know if I should ask them to cover the CLEs. It was deferred up until now because I was a government attorney before accepting this new position.

Yeah, the ones that don’t are the exception. It’s a cost of doing business. You absolutely should ask for them to cover. Also, if you’re at an AMLAw200, your colleagues will have tips for how to seek reimbursement. I can’t imagine an AMLAW200 not paying.

I did all of mine during my clerkship but I would think this is 100% reasonable

Update - they are reimbursing me for it.

I read this super interesting article about how big companies like Toyota are investing in social-emotional training for their employees and seeing massive benefits.
