What's a "teleconference course?"
A teleconference course is a distance learning method that is an efficient way for lawyers to get CLE credits without leaving their offices. Participants simply register in advance and receive a telephone number to call at a scheduled class time. The convenience and anonymity of this format often adds to the learning for the participants.
"So often in the practice of law lawyers only focus on the next file pressing on their desks. No wonder depression and a lack of fulfillment are quite common in the legal community. Ms. Leonard's program provides a process for identifying one's goals in a legal practice and how best to
enjoy the journey towards those goals. A very worthwhile program!"
~Patrick Julian, Law Firm Partner & Attorney
"I wish a teleclass like this had been available when I started my law practice over twenty years ago. It's like having a support group for lawyers."
~Bonita Yoder, Attorney
"A belated thank-you for the great job you did hosting and leading the ethics CLE. I expected to be bored but instead was treated to a lively and intelligent discussion. When you plan another one, let me know!"
~Florine Gingerich, Attorney
