CLE Information
Tracking Attendance
NAWL tracks attendance at the 2024 General Counsel Institute (“GCI”) by scanning the QR code on name badges when attendees enter and exit each session.
Certificates
Following GCI, NAWL will email attendees individually with a link to access CLE certificate of attendance. Certificates will be uploaded to each attendee's member portal in the "Files" section. To access your member portal, log in here. If this is your first time logging in, set up your account here.
Accreditation by State
NAWL applied for accreditation in New York, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington. Credits for each session are denoted below in the agenda.
- For state-by-state details on earning CLE credit, see the
FAQs section below.
- Note: Last year, it took several months before we heard back from New York. Please anticipate a delay in certificates for those seeking credit in New York.
