*CLE Accreditation
Please be advised that the courses offered in this package on LearnFormula have been accredited in at least one of New York's Group "A" "Approved Jurisdictions" on behalf of LearnFormula, and so are eligible to be counted towards your New York CLE requirement. These courses are 'transitional' in that they focus on providing a foundation in topics relevant to each of the credit categories required for newly admitted attorneys. In addition, the format of each course has been directly confirmed with the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board (July 28th, 2023) to qualify as "simultaneous transmission with synchronous interactivity", and so each course is provided in a format that is 'permissible' for any of the credit categories. Each course offers a downloadable brochure containing all of the required information necessary for you to retain for your records to ensure compliance with the CLE requirement.
