• As competition grows and the number of CLE/MCLE providers increases, attorneys are looking for new ways to satisfy their licensing requirements which may lead them to third-party providers outside their local Bar Association. CLE Abroad™ partners with your Bar Association or legal organization to create a unique experience combining Travel with CLE distinguishing itself from the live or online courses currently available from various accredited providers. Your member-attorneys are very busy people; providing a top-notch travel experience while earning credit is a win-win from start to finish.
• Studying foreign law and experiencing new cultures fosters enthusiasm for the rule of law and respect for other cultures. Our partnership-based, people-to-people programs are designed to facilitate active engagement with our foreign hosts, allowing both sides to share experiences, ideas and philosophies. Our innovative and customized travel itineraries provide opportunities for your members which would be unavailable to them were they to travel on their own.

• Providing a chance to travel with your Bar Association or legal employer offers an added incentive to membership or employment, creating value by providing a unique opportunity for professional development, peer networking, and CLE credits. At the core of our programming is educational enrichment and a first-class travel experience.
• Travelers often return home excited by their experiences, sharing stories and building awareness within their community of friends and colleagues. New friendships are formed and travelers tend to stay better connected after the trip. An established and popular travel program contributes to Bar/Firm stature and a diversity of offerings.
• Traveling together allows leadership to spend time with fellow members or associates, fostering communication and strengthening the bond between members/associates and Bar/Firm leadership.

Travel and overseas education can be a vital source of independent revenue for your bar association. In every CLE Abroad™ partnership program, a minimum commission/donation fee is built into the cost of travel. At the discretion of Bar Association leadership, additional contributions can be added such as ‘for credit’ CLE fees. This can result in several thousands of dollars of non-dues revenue for your Bar Association generated by each travel program, and an easy way for members to support your institution. Similarly, programs for law firms and private organizations can be designed to raise funds for non-profit law foundations and other social causes.
