Attendees to the Hospitality Law Conference are eligible to receive up to 16.0 hours of CLE (including 1.0 hour of ethics) via a pre-approved process in their applicable state or via self-submission by the attorney at the conclusion of the conference.

The acceptance of hours for credit by a state bar is typically specific to each state. Some states grant reciprocal approvals. For jurisdictions where reciprocity does not apply, attendees should apply for approval from the state CLE boards. Please note that the CLE Boards have the final authority on the acceptance and granting of CLE credit for the Hospitality Law Conference.

While we cannot guarantee that each state will provide up to 16.0 hours (due to varying criteria regarding minutes, speakers, etc.), we can assure attendees that all of our previous conferences have been approved for CLE in all 50 states.

Below please find a chart detailing whether HospitalityLawyer.com has applied for CLE in a state via a pre-approved process. If we have not applied for CLE in a state, we have provided instructions for attendees to apply individually after the conference.
