  This is an in-person live CLE Seminar and many of the interactive sessions will not be recorded for post-event on-demand viewing.  Please plan to join us in-person to reconnect with colleagues and share together learning and networking.  The total live seminar will be submitted for MCLE application of up to 6.25 hours of CLE credit, including ethics/PR and bias credit in many states.

  

  In early June 2025 we plan to offer a shortened version of this seminar as a recorded on-demand viewing option for CLE credit in some states.  Due to the interactive workshop structure of some of the sessions, not all will be recorded and offered on-demand.  Please make an effort to attend in-person for the best experience and connecting with colleagues.  Please note: watching the recordings may not result in CLE credit due to various states' guidelines on recorded viewing.  AAM will make application for accreditation in states where possible.  

  MCLE Approval Status:

  Tennessee: Applied and pending

  Texas: Approved for 6.25 hours, including 2.50 hours of ethics (Course ID 174270206)
