IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE HAS ITS PERKS
Continuing Legal Education in Colorado, Inc. (CBA-CLE) values you and your participation in the Colorado legal community. The pandemic taught us that community building comes more naturally in person than it ever could via Zoom. Attending CBA-CLE events in person is a great way to network and meet new colleagues.
To encourage community building through in-person attendance, CBA-CLE will be holding a drawing at every live program held in the CLE Classroom, available only to in-person attendees. The winner will receive a CLE Elite Pass for 1 year (a value of $1,295 for members/$1,695 for non-members) simply by attending live.
CLE CREDITS: This program has been submitted for 5 General CLE Credits, including 5 Ethics/Professionalism Credits.
The program is accredited in Colorado. CBA-CLE staff can provide a Uniform Certificate of Attendance, and it is the attendee's responsibility to complete the accreditation outside of Colorado.
Home studies will be available 2-3 weeks following the live program.
CBA-CLE is committed to providing access, equal opportunity, and reasonable accommodation in its services, programs, and employment. To request an accommodation please contact [email protected] at least 14 business days in advance.

Fee Transparency Best Practices
The Colorado Consumer Protection Act requires that businesses must provide a clear statement of the maximum total price that a consumer will be charged for goods, services, and property. Attorneys, however, may not know exactly what the total cost of their services will be at the outset of representation. This presentation will discuss best practices for disclosing the cost of legal services, especially in cases where various factors outside the control of the attorney may cause a wide variance in potential cost estimates.

Failure to Supervise
Senior attorneys have always had a duty to supervise their paralegals and associates. Now, AI is providing additional challenges, as firms start to rely on automated processes, and junior staff face temptations to perform tasks faster by relying on AI. This update will provide best practices for supervising staff and ensuring that AI is an efficiency tool, not a liability.
