What is a CLE Webcast/Webconference?
A Webcast is a live Internet broadcast, with audio and video streaming of a seminar from which you may receive MCLE credit. You can participate in the program from the comfort of your home or office, without having to travel to a seminar site. The webconferencing feature allows you to ask questions of the speakers live online.

What do I need to participate in a Webcast/Webconference?
• A high-speed Internet connection
• A computer with sound card and speakers
• A recent version of Acrobat Reader in order to download and view materials

How will I receive written materials?
Connection information will be emailed to you 24 hours before the program begins. The written materials are available for viewing online during the seminar, or, if you prefer, you can download them and print them before participating in the seminar. All registrants will be forwarded a web link to access the program and course materials. If you would like a hard copy of the written materials mailed to you, please contact the CLE Registrar.

Will I be able to ask questions?
During the seminar, attendees may submit questions to the speakers via the Internet, and the speakers will answer the questions during their presentation.

How will I receive my MCLE certificate?
In order to receive MCLE credit, you must stay online throughout the seminar. Your connection and disconnect times are monitored by our conferencing provider. During the seminar, the speaker will announce a program code. You will need to write down the code on the MCLE Listener Verification Form and mail in the form to receive MCLE credit.  You will receive your official MCLE Certificate in about 2-4 weeks by mail in an envelope marked “MCLE Certificate Enclosed.”
