2021 National Conference
2021 Cls National Conference Workshops

This is a sampling of workshops that we expect to be provided at the 2021 CLS National Conference. Most will be available for CLE credit, which is dependent on each individual state and their CLE application requirements. Those workshops for which CLS has applied for CLE approval are marked with an asterisk (*). A final list, with CLE availability, will be provided on-site.
