Public Law for the Public's Lawyers On-Demand Videos
I lead the planning for Public Law for the Public’s Lawyers (PLPL). The course addresses issues relevant to attorneys who work in or with North Carolina state government. That means a focus on legislative branch and executive branch information and issues, typically. We usually offer the program in the fall and plan for 12 hours of CLE. This year’s offering will be entirely online, via Zoom, over three days. We will offer post-event recordings for viewing as well.
We appreciate our legislative and state agency partners who help plan and make this course possible.
The Legislative Services Office of the NC General Assembly is a sponsor of this course.
The availability of videos after the event will be different than in previous years. In previous years, we held events that you could attend where the program was replayed as a video. For this year, the program will be available as videos for individualized viewing from your own work station after the event.
Registration for the on-demand videos will be available from Nov. 14, 2022 until 5:00 pm on Wednesday, January 31, 2023.
Registration is free for staff of the NC General Assembly, $185 for staff of other NC state agencies, and $300 for private attorneys.
To receive CLE credit, individuals must register; once registered the Program Manager will submit your hours to the NC State Bar. If you do not require the full 12 hours of CLE please complete the Certificate of Attendance form for partial credit located under the Materials tab.
As noted above, this will be a virtual program, offered over several days with 12. 5 hours of CLE.
