Some of our attorneys volunteer their time answering telephone hotline calls. Are these attorneys eligible for pro bono CLE credit?

Under the CLE Board Regulations and Guidelines, a program is eligible for pro bono CLE credit only if the recipients of the legal services provided by the program have been screened for financial eligibility. Therefore, attorneys who participate in a telephone hotline where callers do not have to demonstrate financial need before receiving legal advice are ineligible for pro bono CLE credit.
