The CBA will apply to the Missouri Bar for CLE credits. We expect that most of the topics will qualify. For example, the 2018 conference was approved for 10.8 CLE credit hours, of which 1.2 were for ethics. In 2017, the conference was approved for 13.0 total credits, of which 2.0 were ethics. We will post CLE information as soon as we have approval. We leave it to the attendees to make application to their various state bars.
NOTE: We have an application pending with the Missouri Bar for 12 hours CLE credit, with 3.6 professionalism and 1.2 Cultural Competency/Inclusion.
