Government Agencies host CLE's

Government agencies may host CLE's for their staff. If you have a government contact ask about free CLE's. No reason not to; it's your taxpayer dollars at work. Because government agencies don't necessarily pay for CLE's for their staff, your contact is in the same boat as you are, trying to get credits without spending a ton of money. While they're geared toward the needs of government attorneys, it's interesting to get another perspective.
My state Attorney General's office hosts CLE's regularly, most often in the middle of the day (12-2) for two credits. It isn't terribly convenient for me, but it's intended for those working in state agencies that are close to the site.
I don't have any Federal contacts, but would not be surprised to learn that Federal agencies also sponsor free CLE's intended for staff. Ask and you may be pleasantly surprised.
