Podcasts for CLE is a reality

Podcasts for CLE is a reality. Robert Ambrogi reported a while back Santa Clara County Bar Association launched a series of one-hour CLE podcasts dubbed CLE Programs To Go.

It has even set up a ‘podcast recording studio’ in the SCCBA offices. SCCBA Executive Director Christine Burdick writes that she first had the idea back in November, but it took a bit to get everything in place. ‘The easiest part,’ she says, ‘was recording the podcast.’

An e-mail sent to SCCBA members yesterday announcing the new benefit quotes my article, wherein I write that lawyers ‘may someday soon get [CLE] through podcasting.’ To that, the e-mail adds, ‘CLE podcasts as ‘someday soon’ is NOW for SCCBA members.

Ambrogi had written an article earlier this spring for Law Technology News, Podcasting: CLE’s New Wave? He predicted that podcasting may just be the next big thing in CLE. Bob is a bright guy who was right on the money here.
