MCLE benefits greatly from the volunteer contributions of the lawyers and judges who generously serve as program faculty, authors, and curriculum advisors (nearly 2,000 each year!). Their willingness to share their time and expertise is an integral part of MCLE's continuing effort to educate attorneys and enhance the quality of legal services provided to the public. Interested in contributing your time and expertise to CLE? Or would you simply like to suggest an idea for curriculum or new product development? MCLE would love to hear from you!
Program volunteers serve as chair/co-chair, helping to develop the program agenda and recruit faculty, and as faculty members, preparing materials and presentations to be given to registrants on the day of the program. Volunteers are welcome to bring a guest to the program free of charge (except for multi-day limited enrollment workshops).
