Public Law for the Public's Lawyers On-Demand
*ON-DEMAND OPTION WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER JANUARY 31, 2025*
Public Law for the Public’s Lawyers, or PLPL for short, is an annual CLE course designed for attorneys who work in or with North Carolina government. Some topics focus on legislative branch and executive branch information and issues, while other topics are of more general interest.
PLPL takes place each fall and includes 12 hours of CLE. This year’s offering will be entirely online, via Zoom, during the mornings and early afternoons of three days: November 13 -15, 2024.
We will record the event and offer it for on-demand access after the event.
Registration is $185 for attorneys who work for a state or local government entity, and $300 for private attorneys. The fee is the same for the live event and the on-demand version.
To receive CLE credit, individuals must register; once registered the Program Manager will submit your hours to the NC State Bar. If you do not require the full 12 hours of CLE please complete the partial credit form.
Registration for the on-demand videos will be available from Nov. 25, 2024 until January 31, 2025. *RECORDINGS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE AFTER JANUARY 31, 2025*
Registration is free for staff of the NC General Assembly, $185 for staff of other NC state agencies, and $300 for private attorneys.
