Why Your CLE Dollars Belong at the CBA

Let’s be honest, you’re required to take CLE, especially if you're last name begins with A-L and it's your reporting year. But where you choose to spend those dollars says a lot about your commitment to the profession and the community you practice in. Too many Central Ohio attorneys are quietly sending their money to out-of-state — or even foreign companies who have zero connection to our courts, our colleagues, our community, or our future.

The CBA offers every option you could possibly want: in-person classes, live online sessions, pre-recorded on-demand courses, and even customized CLE packages for firms. You can even purchase an Easy Pass of unlimited CLE hours for only $250.

Every dollar spent here is reinvested back into Central Ohio’s legal community — supporting advocacy, programming, resources, and the infrastructure that helps us all practice more effectively. In other words, you’re already required to spend the money. The only question is whether you’ll spend it strengthening your own community — or padding the pockets of some faceless company three time zones away.

Choosing the CBA isn’t just about checking a box; it’s about making the effort to support the profession that supports you. Help keep the Central Ohio legal community strong. There’s no easier way to contribute to our legal community than using the CBA whenever possible.
