You need credits to keep your license. Seems like a nonissue to me.
Not sure why that would be an issue. I always complete CLEs “on the clock” though I’m not really sure what that phrase means for lawyers—aren’t we always on the clock. 😂 I should also note that I’ve never had non-attorneys question it. Our accounting team needs continuing education credits too, etc.
Total non-issue as long as the CLE is related to the work you do in-house and it doesn't take priority over other work. Maintaining your license is a necessary part of your job. Many companies will even pay for a reasonable amount of CLEs
Goodness NO. Maintaining your license is part of your Job! And most free CLE occurs during work hours. Of course take advantage of it. Completely justified. Of course crucial work meetings take priority, but otherwise your clients should be completely on board. Grrrr.
I’ve now worked in-house for two companies, and this has never been an issue. In my current role, I’m the only in-house, and the leadership team is very supportive and interested in what I’ve learned.
This should be part of your regular workload and the company should pay for cle expenses.
Not even a question. It’s needed for your license.
