In any situation, knowing exactly what you are doing is half the battle. To be CLE speakers, folks will need to be very specific as to what they would like to talk about. This could be anything about how a certain decision has affected the practise of law. One is always encouraged to follow up if there has been no response for a few days.
To become a lawyer one will first need to do a pre-law course. This is for those that are undergraduates and wish to study at any law school. The American Bar Association has laid down laws that each student must at least have a bachelor's degree. Each school of law has their own requirements for admission.
Normally the applicants were also given a fitness and personality evaluation and this also included a very thorough background check on all. There were a few exceptions given to these requirements depending on the person. In some states one lawyer will not be allowed to practise in another state without sitting through the full exam again.
The undergraduate course normally takes about four years to complete. When that is completed they will then attend Law School and will need to graduate within three years and obtain their Juris Doctorate. For those that are working during the day they can be granted more time to finish their course.
Once each applicant has earned the Juris Doctor degree they are asked to participate in a Law Clerk program. In most of the jurisdictions one is required to pass a Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination. This is a sixty question, one hundred and twenty minute multiple choice exam. It is set by the National Conference of Bar Examiners and was first used in 1980.
Many experienced attorneys are more than willing to speak and sometimes even teach at these conferences as they will receive credit for taking part. At many of the schools that offer law they help to prepare them for the real world by preparing them for mock trials and court arguments. Many even encourage law competitions.
If one is still fairly new in the law business and would still like to become a speaker try speaking to a more senior attorney in the firm so that they can help to build a strong resume in the area of which one would like to speak about. Many of them will even be willing to take on assistants teaching one the ropes, so to speak. Telephoning the organisation and showing them that one is very interested in serving on the panel could also open many doors.
The MEE, Multistate Essay Examinations is a thirty minute essay questionnaire. It has nine questions while many jurisdictions only ask that six be answered. The MPT, Multistate Performance Test is two different ones of ninety minutes each and these will cover anything to do with legal analysis, problem solving, resolution of ethical dilemmas as well as communications. These speakers are a non competitive environment where discussions can take place relating to anything that can affect the practise of law.
