Happy PLI'ing

by Jan Nussbaum
Assistant Director for Professional Development

Continuing legal education classes are a fantastic way to: 

• Build on your legal skills;
• Show you are staying current in the legal profession and not just looking for work; and to
• Meet and network with other attorneys who may be able to help you in your job search.

GGU has a unique program with the Practicing Law Institute ("PLI"), a company devoted to providing legal seminars and continuing legal education classes. PLI offers free admission for up to two GGU graduates per class* for those who are not gainfully employed to attend PLI's live courses* held at their California Center, located at 685 Market Street, San Francisco. (*Excludes the Patent Bar Review Program.) For additional details and the application form, see form here.

PLI also offers one-hour webinar briefings and some are free. For more information, click here.

In addition, full and partial scholarships to PLI's live seminars held throughout the country, webcasts and CLE Now (on-demand web programs) are available for GGU and non-GGU unemployed attorneys, judges, judicial law clerks, law professors, law students, attorneys 65 or older, law librarians, attorneys who work for nonprofit organizations, legal services organizations or government agencies. Scholarship applications must be submitted at least four weeks prior to the Live Seminar, Webcast, or On-Demand Web Program you wish to attend.

The Bar Association of San Francisco offers a variety of CLE courses. A few are free or fee reduced.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at jnussbaum@ggu.edu. Happy "PLI'ing."
