KBA News: 2012 Kentuck Law Update Dates Now Posted

Gentlemen, (and women), start your engines (or mark your calendars) for the dates and locations for you to get your 2012 continuing legal education credits - FREE! (well, free to the extent you don't have to pay anything further than your share of your bar dues).

"DATES APPROVED FOR 2012 KENTUCKY LAW UPDATE

The 2012 dates for the KBA’s Kentucky Law Update (KLU) were recently approved by the Supreme Court of Kentucky. They include: September 6-7, Bowling Green, Holiday Inn & Sloan Convention Center; September 19-20, Covington, Northern Kentucky Convention Center; September 25-26, Russell (Ashland), Bellefonte Pavilion; October 2-3, Prestonsburg, Jenny Wiley State Resort Park; October 9-10, Owensboro, RiverPark Center; October 23-24, Gilbertsville, Kentucky Dam Village State Resort Park; October 30-31, Lexington, Lexington Convention Center; November 8-9, London, London Community Center; November 28-29, Louisville, Kentucky International Convention Center.

Registration for the 2012 KLU will begin in May; additional information will be posted on the website under CLE – Kentucky Law Update.

The KBA staff hopes to build upon the success of the 2011 KLU, which enjoyed the largest turnout ever in the history of the event, with a total of 5,191 attorneys receiving Continuing Legal Education (CLE) training at nine locations across the Commonwealth. The 2011 turnout represents a 1.8 percent increase over the 2010 attendance and a more than 132 percent increase over the program’s initial 2,236 attendance when KLU was introduced in 1987.

KLU is a unique benefit of KBA membership, as Kentucky is the only mandatory CLE state that provides members with a means of meeting their mandatory CLE hours without requiring additional payment. For more information on KLU, contact Jennifer Keitz at jkeitz@kybar.org or call (502) 564-3795, ext. 226."
