Read a random definition: short-form bill of lading

A quick definition of continuing legal education:

Continuing legal education (CLE) is a way for lawyers to keep learning after they finish law school. They attend special classes or seminars to improve their skills or learn about new laws in their area of practice. Some places require lawyers to attend a certain number of hours of CLE each year or every other year. CLE can also refer to the knowledge and skills that lawyers gain from attending these classes. There are businesses that provide CLE classes, books, and other materials to help lawyers keep learning.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Continuing legal education is the process by which lawyers continue to learn and improve their skills beyond their law school education. This is usually done by attending seminars that focus on specific areas of law or provide updates on legal developments. Some jurisdictions require lawyers to complete a certain number of hours of continuing legal education each year or every other year.

Examples: A lawyer who specializes in immigration law may attend a seminar on recent changes to immigration policies and procedures. Another lawyer who practices criminal law may attend a seminar on new court rulings related to criminal cases. These seminars help lawyers stay up-to-date on changes in the law and improve their skills in their specific practice areas.

Explanation: Continuing legal education is important because it helps lawyers stay current on changes in the law and improve their skills. This benefits both the lawyers and their clients, as it ensures that lawyers are providing the best possible legal representation. The examples illustrate how lawyers can use continuing legal education to stay informed about changes in their practice areas and improve their skills in those areas.
