Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education

Great place to learn how to be lawyer. A great place to meet other lawyers. And a great place to get retraining in various subject for experienced lawyers. Also great book collection and free drinks and m & m always a nice touch!

For those people unfamiliar with MA Bar rules on continuing legal education — it’s not required by the Bar, but many employers do ask that you earn a certain amount of «legal credits» a year. This is who you turn to in order to earn em.
Wonderful class/​lecture space. They offer one very large auditorium, and multiple small to large class rooms, three floors full.
Their book store, located on the entrance floor, is top notch. I don’t think I could have graduated law school without out those MCLE’s. It’s well worth your money to invest in your area of specialty’s blue binder. They contain everything from sample motions to suggestions on how to use the newest case law for the betterment of your clients.
For conferences they offer unlimited coffee, soda and snacks— incredibly helpful in getting you through all those speeches on the «Future of the Probation System.»
All legal trainings offered at the facility are also live broadcast online. I really recommend getting a MCLE live subscription — especially if you are a general practitioner, or just miss law school like I do.
Trainings are rather expensive — they range from $ 250-​$ 2500, depending on the caliber of speakers and the level of audience interaction. They offer a new lawyer discount. Many employers will pay for you to go as well.

Took a CFA prep course here that was run by Kaplan/​Schweser. The facilities here were pretty stellar, the AV setup was also excellent. It loses one star because the AC/​Heat systems were iffy some nights. Beware of the alley next to the entrance, there seem to be shady characters and or junkies hanging out there.
