    Your CLE Request and Certificates

    CLE Affidavit Form and Certificates for ABA Programs

    Please complete the CLE Affidavit form to verify your participation in each ABA CLE program you attend.  Combined with ABA staff's verification of your attendance, we'll use the information you provide to issue certificates automatically, maintain our participation records, and submit your attendance to states when you reply.

    Once you've completed your request and your attendance is verified, you'll receive your certificates via email.  If there are any updates to your certificates (such as a state approval), you'll receive an updated certificate via email.

    Single Session Affidavit Form

    The form is set to mark you for full attendance as a general attendee if you attest to your participation. Partial credit is not available for single session programs.

    If you are a faculty member, select Faculty from the Attendee menu and complete the additional sessions. 

    Then confirm or adjust your bar states below and click continue to review your request.

    Multi Session Affidavit Form

    Check to mark each session you attended.  There's no need to mark the sessions you did not attend. 

    For each session you select, you are initially set as a general attendee.  If you are a faculty member, select Faculty from the Attendee menu and complete the additional fields.  

    For each session you select, you are initially set to full participation. If you wish to mark partial attendance, select "partial" from the attendance drop down and enter the number of minutes you attended.

    Note for concurrent sessions: You will only be able to select one concurrent session.

    Note for multi-day programs: Click on a day's header to open and close the sessions from that day.  After the last session for a day, click on the date of the following day to open the sessions for the next day.  It's sometimes easy to miss -- we'll work on making that clearer soon!

    After selecting your sessions, confirm or update your jurisdictions and attest to your participation.

    Just check to mark full attendance. Don't check if you didn't attend. Adjust drop downs for faculty or partial participation only.

    Certificates are issued in PDF.  If you have both attendee and faculty certificates for a state, they'll be in the same PDF as multiple pages. If you have multiple cetificates, the PDFs for each state will be in a zip file.
