We recognize that not all members can travel to our meetings, or have the time to take from their busy day to attend a live conference or seminar. AIPLA Online Continuing Legal Education is the most convenient way to keep up-to-date with legal education and stay current on Intellectual Property Law.

In addition to providing online versions of our live presentations, and now live, online programming, AIPLA continues to research other technological methods to provide broader reaching educational programming. If you have any questions or suggestions, please contact us at onlineCLE@aipla.org.
