All-Access CLE Badge
Purchasing CLE at the 2009 Annual Meeting is easy. Attendees can purchase an All-Access CLE Badge that will gain them admission to non-CLE programs and ALL CLE programs at the Annual Meeting, including those in the Presidential CLE Centre and at the satellite hotels.
Members whose primary focus at the Annual Meeting is governance, and who may only be able to attend a few CLE programs, can register for the Annual Meeting for a low fee that includes admittance to all governance and non-CLE programs, and purchase individual CLE program tickets. Discounted CLE program tickets will be available to registered government lawyers and judges. Law Student registrants will be admitted to all CLE programs at no additional charge. Admittance to each CLE program will require one individual program ticket OR the All-Access CLE Badge.
To purchase the All-Access CLE Badge or the individual program tickets, please visit the Annual Meeting web site at www.abanet.org/annual/2009.
