This new requirement applies to all attorneys due to re-register on or after July 1, 2023 (birthday is on or after July 1st).

National Academy of CLE issues a NY CLE Certificate of Attendance for all CLE activities as proof of compliance and we store the certificate in your CLE Account indefinitely.
Newly admitted attorneys are required to take "transitional” courses (designed to help them develop a foundation in the essential skills to practice law) 16 credits each year for the first two years following their admission to the Bar.

About This Course
Catastrophic personal injury litigation presents unique legal, medical, and strategic challenges that demand a comprehensive approach to case development and advocacy. This CLE course is designed for attorneys who handle serious injury cases and offers a distinctive perspective from a presenter who is both a registered nurse and an attorney with extensive experience representing plaintiffs in catastrophic personal injury matters.
The program will examine every stage of the litigation process, from client intake, case evaluation, and investigation through discovery, expert witness preparation, settlement negotiations, and trial considerations. Drawing on both legal and medical expertise, the presenter will discuss practical strategies for developing complex injury cases, evaluating damages, and effectively presenting medical evidence.
In addition to providing valuable guidance for plaintiff's counsel, the course offers experience-based observations that will benefit attorneys representing defendants and insurance carriers by providing insight into plaintiff-side case strategy, decision-making, and litigation tactics. Whether you represent injured individuals or defend against catastrophic injury claims, this program will provide practical takeaways to strengthen your approach to high-stakes personal injury litigation.
*This course qualifies as a Transitional course and can be taken by both Experienced and Newly Admitted attorneys in NY.
