ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS

Continuing Legal Education in Massachusetts

The goal of Social Law’s continuing education courses is to provide the Massachusetts legal community and beyond with comprehensive educational webinars that are both affordable and relevant to our members. Currently, all Social Law Library CLEs are conducted online.

Social Law seminars aim to educate attendees on the ethical, professional, and technological skills necessary for being a successful attorney in Massachusetts and all other jurisdictions.

Faculty members from the bench, bar, and the professional communities share their expertise in order to give back to the legal community.  Social Law makes an effort to partner with other educational institutes, such as Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly, the Flaschner Judicial Institute, and the Law Office Management Assistance Program, that are committed to the bettering of the legal profession.

Attendees who attain the minimum attendance time requirements for each CLE webinar receive a certificate of attendance by email within a week of the webinar date. The certificate can be used when submitting proof of CLE training. Not all programs qualify for CLE credit – please check the individual program listings for details.

Recordings and program materials are available for purchase through the library’s product page.  All printed materials provided to program attendees will be included with orders. To receive CLE credit the program must be attended “live.”

Please visit the CLE FAQ page if you have any questions about Social Law CLE or cultural events.  If your question is not addressed in the FAQ, please contact CLE Coordinator, Michael Saporito at msaporito@socialaw.com.

CULTURAL PROGRAMS

ALL CULTURAL PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED DURING THE PANDEMIC. WE PLAN TO RETURN TO OUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.

Social Law Library’s cultural events are organized to provide members of the Massachusetts legal community with a venue to engage in an intellectual exploration of the many facets of the profession.  Programs attempt to provoke discussion between judges, attorneys, and citizens of the Commonwealth in order to better understand how legal issues, both historical and contemporary, continue to affect our everyday lives.  The Library would like to thank our co-sponsors, specifically The William F. Wood Foundation, for assisting in the furthering of the Library’s goals.
