MCLE offers new lawyers a 50% discount on a wide selection of MCLE programs and books for their first five years of practice. New lawyers also save 50% on a subscription to the MCLE OnlinePass.

Sponsor Members, including all members of a Sponsor Member firm, receive a 10% discount on all MCLE programs and products, including the MCLE OnlinePass?. Sponsor Member pricing is shown throughout this website and will be applied automatically when you make a purchase if you are a Sponsor Member. If you are not sure whether your firm is a sponsor, click here to view the current Sponsor Member roster. If you are not a Sponsor Member but would like to become one, you can receive the reduced sponsor pricing on items already in your shopping cart. Just click the Become a Sponsor Member link in your shopping cart. Your Sponsor Membership fee will be added to your cart and the price for any products in your cart (or added subsequently) will be reduced to the Sponsor Member pricing.

For subscriptions to the MCLE OnlinePass?, MCLE always offers customers the opportunity to deduct the total of their current order from their first year's subscription fee, in addition to periodic email promotions throughout the year.

When you purchase 5 or more regularly priced items at one time, you will receive a 20% discount on your entire order. Note that bulk discounts cannot be applied to items that are already on clearance sale.

It is recommended that you initiate the reprint permission process at least one month in advance of the intended date for distribution of the reprinted material. Send an e-mail to the Director of Publications, Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., at mjensen@mcle.org. Note the title of the article you wish to reprint (including the title of the publication, chapter number, and author’s name), the number of pages to be reprinted, the number of reprints you wish to make, and the purpose for the reprint (e.g., for distribution at a seminar to take place on ___, sponsored by ___.) Once MCLE determines whether or not to grant the permission, and the fee therefore, you will be e-mailed a “Request to MCLE for Reprint Permission” form noting the permission, the fee, and any particular restrictions on the grant of permission. Sign the request form and return it with the reprint fee to the attention of the Director of Publications, MCLE, Inc., Ten Winter Place, Boston, MA 02108. It is your responsibility to contact the author directly, to advise that you are reprinting his or her material with MCLE’s permission (once such permission has been granted by MCLE). This is required as a professional courtesy to the author of the original work. Suggested language for this notification to the author is as follows:
“I am honored to notify you that MCLE has granted me permission to reprint your original work which was published in [MCLE publication title] [copyright year]. Your work will appear in [your publication title and copyright year]. The reprinted material will include full attribution to you as its author.”
