| Types of Seminars Live Seminars Live seminars are presentations in
various areas of practice with actual presenters following a
published schedule. Live seminars provide opportunities for
interaction with the faculty members considered experts in the
subject area, and time for Q & A is generally built into the seminar
schedule. Live seminars are most often conducted at our
state-of-the-art Conference Center in downtown Minneapolis. We also hold about a dozen larger annual
events called “Institutes” at either our Minneapolis Conference
Center, or other event facilities throughout the Twin Cities. These
seminars usually are comprised of some plenary sessions as well as
numerous breakout sessions running simultaneously, giving attendees
some choice in which topic areas to focus their learning.  Video Replays A video replay is a scheduled replay of
a live presentation. Generally, two Minneapolis replays of each live
seminar are scheduled, and there are also numerous replays
throughout Minnesota in locations that are part of Minnesota CLE’s
Statewide Video Seminar Network (SVSN). For each scheduled replay
there is a live moderator that is present for part of or the entire
seminar. Live Webcasts Live webcasts are presentations in
various areas of practice with actual presenters in a live studio
setting. Attendees participate via a web portal on their computer.
These seminars are presented live at the scheduled time, and provide
an opportunity through a link to submit questions to the
presenter/s. Minnesota CLE’s webcasts are usually one or two hours
in length, but some three hour seminars have been presented in the
past. Webcast start times are usually 9:00 a.m. or noon, and are a
great way to get your credits without having to leave your desk. Before you participate in a webcast, it
is important that you make sure that you have the proper software
and hardware requirements. Please click on the following links for
more information. On-Demand Seminars On-demand seminars are recorded
presentations of live webcasts and seminars that you can watch at your leisure.
Once purchased, you may view your on-demand programs by logging in
at www.minncle.org. Resource
materials typically accompany these programs, and each program
allows you the opportunity to submit questions to the presenter.
On-demand seminars do have viewing expiration dates, so be sure to
take note of that date upon purchase of any on-demand program. The
Minnesota State Board of CLE does grant credit for on-demand
programs, and Minnesota attorneys may earn up to 15 credits per
reporting period by viewing on-demand seminars, as defined by the
Board's Rules, subject to the provisions outlined in Rule 6E. Before you view an on-demand seminar, it
is important that you make sure that you have the proper software
and hardware requirements. Please click on the following links for
