  • Earn all of your annual New York MCLE credits while obtaining invaluable knowledge on a variety of areas. This Bridge-the-Gap program fulfills a full year’s credit requirements for those who are newly admitted, while providing invaluable information and credits for more experienced attorneys. A skilled faculty will guide you through the day-to-day practice of law and cover topics of interest to all attorneys, including legal ethics. This program is unique because we offer one day of litigation and one day of corporate; you can purchase both days together, or just one. In order to fulfill the New York MCLE Bridge the Gap requirements for newly admitted attorneys, you must attend both days. Each Bridge-the-Gap program contains new and updated content and will provide CLE credit to all attendees, even if they attended in the past.
