Practising Law Institute (PLI) is providing free MCLE classes for job seekers, pro bono matters, students, etc. See their website for details (www.pli.edu).
Some of you asked for more details, so I called them today (Wed. 4/28/2010) and asked:
Q: Is it really free?
A: Yes.
Q: Does this apply to all PLI classes (or just the ones marked Pro Bono?)
A: All PLI live seminars and/or live webcasts.
Q: Will others know that I am attending on scholarship?
A: No, others will not know.
Q: Great. What do we have to do?
A: Fill out a scholarship application per course and submit a $25.00 check per course. http://www.pli.edu/public/scholarships/default.asp
Allow up to 30 days for processing. If you have an unemployment form or Unemployment check stub, you can submit it and this will expedite the PLI scholarship approval.
When approved, you can attend either the live seminar or the live webcast.

Bernadette’s comment. This is a great value, as many of PLI’s live seminars and live webcasts can cost $2,000.00+. Attending the live seminar may be a good way to network. Check out the upcoming PLI seminars at: http://www.pli.edu/product/seminars.asp
Also, you may want to send them a Thank You. This is a great service to our legal community.
