Continuing Legal Education 'CLE Mobile' App available for iPhone andiPod touch

Thomson Reuters-owned West LegalEdcenter has announced that CLE Mobile is available as a free download from the App Store. Attorneys seeking continuing legal education (CLE) credit can for the first time find courses on their iPhone and iPod touch.

The iPhone app allows users to listen to more than 2,000 CLE courses wherever they are and whenever it is most convenient. Audio CLE programs available for download to the CLE Mobile app are identified as "Mobile Compatible" on westlegaledcenter.com. After purchasing available CLE content online through a free West LegalEdcenter account, courses become available for download to an iPhone or iPod touch through the CLE Mobile app. Users also have access to one free ethics CLE program when they download the app.

In addition to downloading and enjoying CLE content, CLE Mobile also allows users to submit completed courses for online state mandatory CLE credit. West LegalEdcenter has recreated its online experience. All of the regulatory safeguards that states require have been incorporated into the mobile environment. This allows users to earn credits as they would with an on-demand program at West LegalEdcenter, not just with a downloaded podcast for self-study credit. The app allows users to manage their westlegaledcenter.com profile, including licensing states and registration numbers.

CLE Mobile also gives law firms the ability to make their own CLE and training content mobile with West LegalEdcenter's in-house training. This option allows law firms to better meet their attorneys' needs by making their own programming even more flexible and accessible.
