The Wisconsin Association for Justice (WAJ) applies for CLE credit with the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners and the Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education for each of its quarterly CLE seminars, and with the Paralegal Association of Wisconsin for its Spring and Winter seminars.  After each seminar, WAJ retains a roster of seminar attendees and faculty, as well as a copy of the signed ethics attendance sheet when ethics credit has been granted.  Each attendee is responsible for reporting his or her own attendance to applicable licensing authorities.  To verify your attendance at any WAJ seminar, please contact us at (608) 257-5741.

For your convenience, the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners and Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education maintain searchable databases where you can verify the date of CLE offerings, as well as the amount and type of credit granted.

CLE Reporting
The Wisconsin Association for Justice applies for CLE credit with the Wisconsin Board of Bar Examiners and the Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education for each of its annual seminars. To request a certificate of attendance for CLE being applied for outside of Wisconsin, click here.

How to Calculate CLE hours in WI:

A course with status GPA approval and with CLE credit hours equal to zero means that each attorney must calculate his/her own CLE hours. To do this, add the total minutes of instruction, divide by 50, and round down to the nearest half or whole hour. Please refer to SCR 31.07(2) and CLE 7.02  for more information.

Why a WAJ Seminar?

WAJ offers quality continuing legal education programs on diverse topics that aid trial lawyers in their practice. The speakers are able, experienced attorneys who provide you with essential information on topics such as basic trial practice, worker's compensation, and other areas. Those seminars are well planned and highly informative. One of WAJ's primary objectives, as stated in its Constitution and By-Laws, is to educate and train its members in the art of advocacy. WAJ's seminars serve to underscore the Association's commitment to this objective. WAJ members pay a substantially reduced fee for registration at all WAJ seminars. If you are an attorney in practice 4 years or less, the reduction in the seminar tuition at one seminar will pay for your membership dues. Sustaining Members attend the Spring, Summer, and Tort Seminars for free and pay substantially reduced fees for the Winter Seminar.
