You need to get your ethics and professional responsibility credits to renew your license.  But 3 hours is a lot of time and you don’t want waste it on a class where you won’t learn anything relevant or useful in helping your clients. If you wait till the last minute you’re stuck with the same old on-line content that doesn’t change or the lecture that is so dry the only thing you’re learning is how to stay awake.

The e-Factor!® program is an interactive and gamified approach to CLE that brings real business and ethics scenarios to life. We actually practice solving ethical dilemmas and have opportunities to connect workshop experiences to business issues you may be facing. We engage you in conversation with your peers and provide practical applications you can take out of the workshop to apply in your work environment. This program qualifies for 3 hours of Ethics CLE with a certificate of completion at the end of the program.

Our agenda for this workshop

1. Introductions, updates to professional conduct statutes, and definitions 
2. Game facilitating team-based discussion of real-life scenarios
