Can I get continuing education credits for attending the Annual Meeting?

AALS does not provide CLE credits. We do provide a sign-in sheet for attendees from states for whom acknowledgment of attendance at a session is sufficient. If you need verification that you attended a session, sign the Continuing Education Credit sheet at the session you are attending and email [email protected] to request a letter of attendance after the meeting. You will need to provide date, time, and title of the session. AALS can only verify attendance for sessions where a registered attendee signs the Continuing Education Credit sheet or is listed as a speaker in the program.
