Download Requirements

E-Books

Most ABA E-Book titles can be read in any application or dedicated e-reader device that supports the .epub or .mobi file format. Some are fulfilled through a third-party vendor (BiblioVault) and require an Adobe ID to obtain the digital rights.

• iOS/Android/eReader Version (.epub): E-Book file format that can be read using Adobe Digital Editions, Kobo or Nook eReaders.
  
• Kindle Version (.mobi): E-Book file format that can be read using an Amazon Kindle or Kindle Reader App.

Many books and course materials are available for immediate purchase as downloadable PDF files. After checkout, the PDF file(s) can be accessed through your My ABA page. A link to your downloads is also provided on your order confirmation. Note you will need a PDF reader, such as the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, to open a PDF.

On iPhones and iPads, PDF course materials are best viewed using Adobe Reader app. On Android devices, PDF course materials are best viewed with Adobe Reader app.

Audio/Video Downloads (Streaming/.mp3/.mp4)

The ABA prefers to stream audio/video using the BrightCove Player. Some audio and video files are delivered in zip files that may have multiple components. Once downloaded, double-click on the zip file to unzip and access the content.

To play an MP3 audio or MP4 video file, your computer or mobile device should have media playing applications such as iTunes or Windows Media Player installed.  Some titles may provide video in Windows Media Video format, which requires Windows Media Player.

ABACLE webinars require:

• Browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or later, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, with JavaScript enabled
• Internet: 56K or faster Internet connection (high-speed recommended)
• Streaming: For audio/video streaming, Adobe Flash plug-in or Safari browser on iOS devices

CLE Credit

Webinar Attendance Requirements

You must attend the entire webinar, including the Q&A, to receive CLE credit. Partial credit is not available for the live program or recording if you access the program late or disconnect. Check a webinar’s website to verify that it is eligible for credit (The ABA does not have the authority to override this requirement.)

Online Course Participation Requirements

You must review the entire online course and record the participation verification code to receive credit. At the conclusion of the recording, a link will appear with instructions for obtaining MCLE certificates. Since certificates are dependent on your participation, this link will not appear if you fast forward during the program. All attorneys must report their attendance per their states' reporting requirements.

CD-ROMs, Audio and Video Downloads

A CLE certificate packet with instructions is included on each CD-ROM and in each audio or video download.  Review the instructions and follow the instructions for your state.  New York and Illinois attorneys must submit the included confirmation form to the ABA for verification and processing. All attorneys must report their attendance per their states reporting requirements.

Downloads and recordings not produced by the Center for Professional Development may provide their certificates and confirmation forms via alternative means.
