MCLE Training Overview
Training Event Lists
Listed events include upcoming trainings offered by the appellate projects (CCAP, ADI, FDAP, SDAP & CAP-LA) and by other organizations such as CADC, OSPD & CACJ. In a collaborative effort, the projects are now sharing many of the MCLE trainings to make it easier for panel members to keep current and obtain their required compliance credits. We encourage our panel attorneys to attend trainings hosted by others because topics rarely overlap.
Most listings are webinars offered via Zoom or similar web link attendance and require pre-registration to attend and earn MCLE credit.
On-Demand Videos for Panel Attorneys
To access the CCAP video training portal a user must be a member of one or more of the state appointed panels (CCAP, ADI, FDAP, SDAP & CAP-LA). The purpose of these taped, on-demand trainings is to facilitate user-friendly project training to enhance and develop the education, practice skills, and research/writing skills of appointed appellate practitioners.
