The CLE provides an opportunity for civil rights advocates and legal scholars to meet, greet and share strategies to assist African-Americans and other minorities facing civil rights challenges.

We intend to apply for fifteen (15) credits, including two hours of ethics.  For your convenience, pre-registration is available for $350.00 until June 7, 2012.  After June 7^th, registration and on-site registration for the two-day session will be $375.00.  Register before June 7^th and save $25.  The registration fee will include continental breakfast, one ticket to the Clarence M. Mitchell, Jr. Memorial Lecture Luncheon on Sunday, July 8^th, one brown bag lunch ticket, CLE course materials, closing reception and entrance onto the Convention floor.  One-day registrations are also available at $250.00.  If you are unable to attend the CLE, you may purchase course materials at a cost of $50.00.  Please make checks payable to the NAACP CLE Seminar (include credit card information on faxed registrations).  To pre-register for the CLE, please complete the attached registration form and e-mail or fax to:
