2016 LADB Free CLE Series Concludes
As it has for many years, the LADB again offered a free CLE program, consisting of seven credit hours, in five locations throughout the state. The program was presented in Shreveport, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Pineville and Kenner. More than 1,500 lawyers were able to earn over half their annual CLE credits in one day at no cost.
The Board would like to thank all the speakers who volunteered their time and expertise to make the program a great success.
