Upcoming Free Vendor CLEs - On Your Computer!
If you’re like us, you have probably missed our free live Legal Tech Institute CLE programming! Sure, our free video CLEs are fantastic, but they necessarily have different dynamics than a live class format where students can interact with the instructor.
In order to help our patrons meet their CLE requirements in a live format without spending any money, we are hosting several upcoming vendor “visits.” These webinars are hosted exclusively for the Harris County Law Library community, whoever you are, wherever you may be riding out the pandemic.
This afternoon, we are hosting one free hour of Texas CLE credit from Westlaw. Our trainer will walk participants through remote log-in options for Harris County Law Library users while our physical space is closed, and go through the best way to conduct your legal research through the platform. Click here for all the details.
On November 19, our Lexis trainer will be offering one free hour of CLE on combating bias within the legal profession, your individual practice, and even the way you conduct legal research. Click here for more information.
On December 17, our Westlaw trainer will be back, this time to provide one hour of free CLE as the class explores what is new on Westlaw. Click here for more information.
