The "REEL CLE"

All attorneys holding an active license in Ohio are required to participate in 24 hours of Continuing Legal Education (CLE) every two years. Within the 24 hours of CLE, each attorney must complete training regarding ethics (one hour), professionalism (one hour), and substance abuse (one-half hour). The Cintas Institute for Business Ethics at Xavier has been approved by the Ohio Commission on Continuing Legal Education to provide a 2.5 hour workshop satisfying the ethics, professionalism and substance abuse requirements. The morning training sessions will be both live, and lively, using video clips from classic, and sometimes not so classic, law related movies to spark discussion surrounding ethics, professionalism and substance abuse.
