Free, On-Demand #MCLE For Last-Minute Education

In many jurisdictions, attorneys can use free, on-demand recordings to earn CLE credit before year-end. Here's a selection specifically designed to satisfy Washington State's maximum allowance of 22.5 AV credits per three-year period. It should also be useful for attorneys in many other states; PLI and Lexvid courses in particular are usually accredited in most mandatory CLE states.

1. Ethics

The elusive ethics credit is called by a variety of names in different states, e.g. Professionalism.

• Alternative Fee Arrangements & Pro Bono Service. 0.5 ethics credits. By Lexvid.
• Current Developments in Conflicts of Interest. 1 ethics credit. By Lexvid.  
• Emerging Trends in Legal Ethics and Professionalism. 2 ethics credits in several states. By Attorney Registration & Disciplinary Commission of the Supreme Court of Illinois.

2. Any Subject (But Only 2 Credits)

If you want your free CLE to address a particular subject matter, you can find the broadest possible selection from two providers who offer a free program just for registering with them. Programs after the 1st one will cost you, but I just don't see a downside to trying these offers!
