CLE attached to the room where you ask the follow-up question.
Monthly, live, and included with Associate and Firm membership. Accredited by the State Bar of Texas through LexCollective.
Cheap unlimited CLE is easy to buy. A session where the person teaching it is in a room you can go back to on Tuesday is not.
That is the whole design. Each month’s session comes out of what members are actually asking about that month, which is also why the calendar is not set a year in advance. The session ends, the conversation carries on in the practice rooms, and both stay searchable.
Nobody else in this category does this
Before building it, we went through every paid community for attorneys we could find — private chat communities, guild-style memberships, the coaching programs. Not one of them includes CLE. It is not mentioned anywhere on any of their sites.
The reverse holds too. The CLE providers sell content libraries with no community attached: no rooms, no directory, no peer layer of any kind. You can buy unlimited credit for a few hundred dollars a year and never speak to another attorney while you do it.
So the honest claim is narrower than “we include CLE,” because cheap unlimited CLE is easy to buy and we are not pretending otherwise. The claim is that the session and the room are the same place.
Accreditation, stated precisely
Our CLE is accredited by the State Bar of Texas through LexCollective. We are not accredited by any other state bar, and we will not describe ourselves as nationally accredited, because we are not — several states expressly prohibit a provider from claiming accreditation it does not hold.
That is narrower than most CLE marketing. It is also accurate, which matters more to this audience.
If you are licensed outside Texas
A Texas-accredited course travels further than most people assume. Which route applies to you depends first on whether the session was live, and only then on where you are licensed.
Your state credits it directly
Some states maintain approved-jurisdiction lists and accept a course another mandatory-CLE jurisdiction has accredited, with no application from you or from us. Several carry a condition about where you were physically located while attending.
You file a short application
A larger group lets an individual attorney submit the course themselves, generally for live formats, usually with a fee in the region of $15 to $50 and a filing deadline that can be as short as sixty days after the session.
Only the provider can file
A few states will not accept an application from an attorney for certain formats. Where that applies and a member asks, we file it.
Nothing to file
Massachusetts, the District of Columbia, Maryland and South Dakota have no mandatory CLE requirement at present.
Rules change, and this is a summary rather than advice about your obligations. Confirm the position with your own bar before relying on any session for credit.

Is CLE included in membership?
The Lex Collective provides educational programming for attorneys. Nothing on this page is legal advice, and nothing here creates an attorney-client relationship. CLE eligibility, format limits and filing deadlines are set by each jurisdiction and change over time. You are responsible for confirming your own requirements.
