Virginia Continuing Legal Education

Attend CLE seminars on YOUR schedule wherever you are!

Because Virginia CLE is now making seminars available on CD-ROM.

Video Seminars on CD-ROM have many advantages:

• No need to leave your office or home to get top-quality seminars
• No need to find a colleague to watch the seminar with you
• No high-speed Internet connection required
• Excellent quality video and audio and printed written materials
• No interruptions caused by connection or bandwidth problems
• Ability to pause the program and return to it at your convenience
• Availability of an electronic bulletin board to send questions to speakers
• MCLE Certification of Attendance form available online

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Your MCLE form will be dated and you will receive credit as of the date you visit our bulletin board and obtain the form. If you are using a CD-ROM Video Seminar near the end of a credit reporting period, be sure to visit the bulletin board immediately upon completion of the seminar.

When placing your Video Seminar on CD-Rom order, you must allocate 3-5 business days for shipping purposes.

Hardware and Software Requirements

All you need is a computer with a CD-ROM drive and Windows^® XP or later and version 9 or later of Windows^® Media Player, which is included with all recent Windows operating systems. If you don't have Media Player 9 or later, you can download it free of charge at the following site:

www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/

Video Seminars on CD-ROM cannot be taken for credit on a Macintosh^®, Linux, or other non-Windows computer, with one possible exception. They may work on a Macintosh if the Macintosh is running a Microsoft^® Windows PC emulator with Windows Media Player installed.

The MCLE regulations also require that you provide an appropriate physical setting, including a suitable writing surface. In order to send questions or comments to speakers and to obtain your MCLE Certification of Attendance form, you will need an Internet connection of any kind, including dial-up. You do not need an Internet connection while viewing the seminar.

Procedures for Taking Video Seminars on CD-ROM

You can purchase the Video Seminar on CD-ROM in the usual manner, online, by mail, by fax, or by phone. When you receive it, it will include printed written materials and one or more CD-ROMs. Simply insert the first CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive. You can pause the seminar whenever you like. The seminars are divided into segments, so you can even exit the program, turn off your computer, and later return to the beginning of any segment you haven't completed. When you complete the last segment, you will be provided a link to a "bulletin board" on which you can pose questions to speakers and make comments. From there you can download or print your MCLE Certification of Attendance form.

MCLE Credit

Virginia CLE Video Seminars on CD-ROM are approved for Virginia MCLE credit. You do not have to view them with another attorney. If you have previously viewed this program for MCLE credit in live, video, online, or CD-ROM presentations, MCLE rules prevent you from claiming credits for the same course taken in two successive years. Your MCLE form will be dated and you will receive credit as of the date you visit the bulletin board and obtain the form. So if you are using a Video Seminar on CD-ROM near the end of a credit reporting period, be sure to visit the bulletin board immediately upon completion of the seminar.

License Agreement

After you complete the seminar, you can keep the CD-ROM and review the speakers’ presentations as often as you like. You can only use the Video Seminar on CD-ROM once to obtain Virginia MCLE credit. You can also share it with colleagues (although not for MCLE credit purposes unless they also purchase copies from Virginia CLE). Duplication of CD-ROMs, any material they contain, or any written materials provided with them is prohibited by copyright law.
