Date/Time/Location: Friday, Apr. 4 @ 8 a.m., Courtroom Missouri Bar Ethics and Professionalism CLE Program for Third Years The School of Law will host an Ethics and Professionalism program for graduating third year students on Monday, April 7, from noon to 3:00 p.m. We strongly encourage all third year students to attend this program. Lunch will be provided. This program will qualify for three hours of Missouri Continuing Legal Education (CLE) credit. Missouri Supreme Court Rules require that all lawyers admitted to the Missouri Bar must complete at least 3 classroom hours of CLE devoted exclusively to professionalism, legal or judicial ethics or malpractice prevention within 12 months prior to or after the lawyer’s date of admission to the Bar. This program, which is free of charge, will fulfill that requirement. We highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity to avoid having to pay and take time away from your professional schedule to fulfill your CLE requirements. Attendance is not limited to students planning to take the Missouri Bar. The program will provide valuable ethics and professionalism training regardless of where you plan to practice. We also suggest that any students not planning to take the Missouri Bar check with the bar association in the state you plan to become licensed to see if a similar requirement exists and can be fulfilled by this program. For those students unable to attend on April 7, there will be a video replay of the program. Date and time to be determined. Further information and registration materials will be available at a later time. If you have any questions regarding this program, please do not hesitate to contact Jon Baris in Career Services at 314-977-3675.
