Attorneys must complete an online evaluation after the conclusion of the call. The online evaluation is given above. 5.

The certificate of attendance form must be completed, signed, and sent back to IMLA (e-mail to cle@imla.org<mailto:cle@imla.org> ). 7.

IMPORTANT! Our teleconferences are a quick and convenient way to earn CLE credits. CLE credits are available for an additional cost per person in states where teleconferencing is accredited. States currently not accredited for IMLA teleconferences are DE, OH, and PA. If you are applying for CLE, there is a new filing process in order to receive CLE credit. Questions about this New CLE Process? If you have questions regarding CLE or the CLE cost, or if you haven't previously requested IMLA to file for (M)CLE on your behalf with your state bar and would like us to do so, send your questions or your CLE Request Form to cle@imla.org<mailto:tocle@imla.org> immediately after this teleconference (as there is a fee for this filing process). There is no filing fee for just the Certificate of Attendance Form or if you file for credit directly with your state bar/agency. If you have ANY CLE-related questions, please email cle@imla.org<mailto:cle@imla.org?subject=ATTN%3A%20TRINA%20-%20Important%20CLE%20Question>. IMLA teleconferences are a fast, economical and easy way to stay up-to-date on important issues. A telephone and computer is all you need, and the registration fee covers an unlimited number of staff on one line at your location. Discounted registration is ALWAYS available IMLA members.
