Free CLEs

Legal Services of Southern Missouri (LSOSM) is proud to offer free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) events to attorneys who are part of our Judicare and Volunteer Lawyer Panels. Judicare Panel members are attorneys who have agreed to handle LSOSM cases as a reduced fee. Volunteer Lawyer Panel members are attorneys who have agreed to handle LSOSM cases free of charge.

How we offer these CLE events

We have the latest technology available to us for use in providing these events. Generally, CLEs will be offered one of two different ways:

• First, we may use video conferencing between our offices. Video conferencing allows interactivity among all offices, so that participants in one office may speak with and see presenters in another office. Attorneys wishing to have interaction with the presenter may choose to attend the CLE event at one of our offices. [Seating is limited, so early registration is recommended.]

• Second, we may use live web streaming. By taking the video feed from a video conference session, we can stream that to anyone connected to the Internet. Participants using this method may not, unfortunately, interact directly with the session presenters, but may have the ability to e-mail questions they have to a presenter for their response. [Participants choosing this method will be required to have certain technology available to them, including access to a computer with a high speed Internet connection and a streaming media client such as Windows Media Player. Test your computer's ability here and click on the "Test Stream" link.]

Registration

Attorneys currently on the Judicare or Volunteer Lawyer Panels who have access to the judicare extranet (https://judicare.lsosm.org) have pre-registration available to them. Attorneys who have signed up to use this system will receive notification of CLEs by e-mail up to a week before event notices are mailed to other attorneys. Registration is done on-line using the judicare extranet.

Attorneys not signed up to use the extranet will have to call our main office at 1-800-444-4863 to sign up for the event.
