Dear ,
 Back in July, the Kansas CLE Commission adopted the most sweeping changes in its rules since 1985. The changes, which were effective July 1, focus on four major areas:
-Instructional Materials
-Nontraditional Programming
-Ethics and Professionalism
-Law Practice Management
Washburn Law has partnered with the Kansas Bar Association to offer a free online program Nov. 8 that will cover these rule changes. To meet your informational needs while being cognizant of your time constraints, we are offering this program online, which will require only that you have a computer and Internet access. We plan to offer additional online programming in the future for the convenience of our alumni and friends.
Best regards,
Tom Romig
Dean and Professor of Law
