CLE Live Webcasts Bring the Seminar to You
The Oregon State Bar CLE department has launched a new way to earn CLE credits:
live webcasts. Streaming video brings the CLE to your computer in real time,
allowing you to watch as it’s happening, from the comfort of your own home
or office. Plus, you can access an archived video of the seminar and materials
for two months after the event.
Two upcoming CLEs are being offered as webcasts: “Snap, Crackle and Pop: Injury
Biomechanics and Litigation” (July 16) and “So, You're Not a Physician?” (July
23). More webcasts are planned for later in the year.
For more information visit the OSB CLE website and click on the orange webcast box in the right-hand column.
