§ 6.30 Fees for CLE Courses

6.30. Fees for CLE Courses

    Fees for attendance at continuing legal education courses are the responsibility of the continuing legal education committee unless the program is co-sponsored with an outside group, in which event fees will be jointly fixed by the continuing legal education committee and the co-sponsor. The base course fee is not less than $115.00 per day. A base course fee applies to a course of 5 or less CLER credit hours per day, at multiple locations (no more than 3 of which may be live presentations), with no more than 5 in-state speakers, and at reasonably priced locations and facilities. For multi-day courses the base course fee is not less than $115.00 times the number of consecutive days, provided the total CLER credit hours do not exceed 5 hours times the number of days. The base course fee contemplates an initial steering committee meeting for planning purposes and a speakers' workshop in addition to the scheduled course presentations.

    In addition to the base course fee the CLE committee may charge for credit hours over 5 per day, out-of-state speakers, special materials, luncheons, honoraria, extra promotion, added committee meetings, receptions, and other similar expenditures, as well as a non-member surcharge equal to section dues of a sponsoring section or division. If sections request additional features or variations, fees shall be adjusted accordingly. The CLE committee may also market audio and videotapes of CLE courses at prices in the approved budget.
