Continuing Legal Education at the University of Pennsylvania Law School

The University of Pennsylvania Law School, through the Center on Professionalism, is a licensed CLE provider in Pennsylvania.

Throughout the year, the Law School and the Center on Professionalism offer CLE credits at various academic seminars, conferences, and symposia. Some of these programs are offered directly by COP and are held at locations throughout Philadelphia, while others are presented by Penn Law's faculty, law journals, and student groups and are held at Penn Law. Student run programs often include breaks for breakfast and meals; attorneys attending these programs are encouraged to contact the organizer in advance to get an agenda so you can attend only those parts of the programs that are of interest to you and are entitled to CLE credit. Attendees should expect high level intellectual content at these programs.

Please consult the list below for programs that are currently open.
