Upcoming CLEs
The Attorney General's Office is hosting Continuing Legal Education (CLEs). Pre-registration is required.
Understanding and Managing Secondary Trauma in the Legal Profession
| Date: | Wednesday, May 6, 2026 |
| Time: | 12:00 Noon to 1:00 p.m. |
| Format: | Live Webinar (virtual) |
| Location: | Online via WebEx |
| Description: | This course is designed to educate legal professionals about secondary traumatic stress and how it can adversely affect them. Many attorneys and legal professionals spend considerable time with victims of trauma, either learning their stories in person or through secondary sources like reports, photographs, recordings, interviews with others and through pretrial and trial testimony. This program will assist persons in recognizing their exposure to others’ trauma, how that exposure can harm their ability to fulfill their obligations as attorneys and legal professionals, and finally provide strategies to “shield the carer” from the occupational hazard of working with other individuals’ trauma.

Expanding Access through Digital Accessibility in Minnesota's State Courts
| Date: | Wednesday, May 20, 2026 |
| Time: | Noon to 1:00 p.m. |
| Format: | Live Webinar (virtual) |
| Location: | Online via WebEx |
| Description: | The ability to access justice is a fundamental right. For individuals with disabilities, online systems and documents that are not digitally accessible are often a barrier to accessing that right in modern court systems. The U.S. Department of Justice enacted regulations implementing the ADA governing the web accessibility of state and local governments. The Minnesota Judicial Branch is making changes to improve accessibility for all in compliance with these regulations. This CLE will cover what digital accessibility is, what is new or different that you may expect to see when interacting with the courts, and how you can help eliminate these barriers by enhancing the accessibility of your own filings with some practical tips.
