About Educational Programs

Types of programs

• Brown Bag Lunch Program – a one to one and a half hour program run by Sections or Committees that features 1-2 speakers covering an update or a very discreet area of the law

• Symposium - a panel discussion, usually in the early evening. Symposiums typically involve a topic that is more academic or policy oriented than practical but do not lend themselves to the practical detail and materials in a CLE.

• CLE Program (Continuing Legal Education) - a two to four hour program that covers an in-depth subject designed to provide practitioners a comprehensive overview or an area of law, including practice tips and advice. The program must be accompanied by written materials. CLE programs are advertised broadly, are always available to non-BBA members and are provided to members at a discounted price.

How are Educational Programs Advertised?

• Brown Bag Lunch Programs

o Weekly Upcoming Events noticeso Individual reminder depending on RSVPs and e-mail traffic for that weeko Listing on BBA on-line calendaro BBA Weeko Section pages of BBA website

• Symposiums

o Same as Brown Bag Lunch programs are advertisedo Depending on the topic, may be highlighted in CLE Digest to entire membershipo Mass Lawyers Weekly

Choosing Topics

• Choosing the format for a program is usually best accomplished at the Steering Committee meeting. If you need assistance determining the best format, the staff member at the Steering Committee meeting can offer guidance.

• Start planning now! • Put CLE programs and brown bag lunch programs on your monthly Steering

Committee meeting agenda.

• Appoint Steering Committee members to be in charge of CLE programs, brown bag lunch programs or both.

• If you have a well-attended meeting or brown bag lunch program consider expanding it into a broader CLE program.

• Assign different Committees in your Section to do a CLE program or brown bag lunch program during a certain month of the year.

• Think of new issues, legislation and cases in your area of practice.

• Think of new people in the field whom your members may want an opportunity to meet and hear from.

Who’s in Charge of…?

• Section Requirements: Section Co-Chairs

• Brown Bag Lunches: Each Committee is expected to put on monthly Brown Bag Lunch programs, and the Committee Chairs usually organize the programs

• CLE programs: The Section will designate a Program Chair(s) to organize the program

• Marketing and Scheduling: BBA staff

• Great deference is given to the Steering Committee when choosing programs

• Sometimes the BBA cannot put on a program. The BBA staff will discuss this with the Program Chair and the Section Co-Chairs if this comes up

Duties of the CLE Program Chair

As the program chair, you are the person who organizes the program. You will pick the panel, set the deadlines and be the primary contact for the panelists and the BBA. This list summarizes what you will need to do:

• Pick a date. Our programs are usually held on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays from 4pm-7pm, or Friday mornings.

• Recruit panelists. Remember that you will have to ask panelists to provide written materials. Please consider the following:

o Choose respected experts who are willing to provide written materials.o Consider diversity in race, gender, and area of practice.o CLE is not a forum for inexperienced attorneys to learn how to teach.o Try to steer away from the same cast of characters.o Include no more than two members of the same firm on your panel.

• Submit the brochure information form on time. The due date is usually on the 15th of the month, 2 months before the month of your program, (e.g. if your program is on April 20th, the brochure information is due on February 15th.) The brochure form is included with these materials. The form asks you to identify the speakers and topics for the program.

• Gather the written materials and send them to the CLE Department. We would like the written materials about 2 weeks before the seminar. See included “All About CLE Materials”.

• Room set-up. Let the CLE Department know if you have any special needs for the room (AV etc.).

• Arrive early. Arrive to the program a few minutes before to confirm panel seating and set-up.

The purpose of this form is to help the CLE Department make a brochure that will interest the audience that you want. While you don’t have to answer every question, the more information you can give us about your program the better!

All About CLE Books & Materials

Why?

• We need written material in order to give people CLE credit, although many non-CLE programs will also have hand-outs for the reference of the attendees.

• For formal CLE programs, we compile these materials into a course book. The books serve as a resource for people to use after the program.

• People like them. • We offer materials for sale after the program and we send the written materials to

people who are unable to attend.

What will the materials include?

• The content will depend on the type of program and what the program chairs and panel feel is necessary to submit.

• CLE books should be at least 50 pages in length, but not longer than 400 pages.

• CLE books generally include outlines, articles, cases, statutes, a bibliography, forms and samples, PowerPoint presentations, and public domain documents. All are encouraged to provide a detailed outline of their presentation.

• Include a biography of all of the panelists – it is important to recognize the speakers, for both their expertise and for generously contributing their time.

• Include an agenda or outline of the program.

• Include the order you want the materials put in the book.

When are materials due?

• The due date is up to the program chair. Materials, however, are due to the BBA approximately 2 weeks before the date of the seminar. If they are going to be late, call!

• Exception -- please know that we may need materials earlier if we need copyright permission. Even if you wrote the article, you may not have the authority to have us reprint it. For example, this is the case with MCLE. If you have questions about this, please contact the CLE & Events Manager, Megan Leppert (617) 778-1924, [email protected].

How do you submit materials to the BBA?

• We prefer materials in electronic form. We also understand that this is sometimes not possible.

• We prefer a Word, PowerPoint or Excel document rather than a PDF.

• For CLE programs, the materials should be compiled and sent at once by the

program chair. When submitting the materials the program chair should include the order that they want the materials presented in the book. Please do not send in materials one-by-one. Please e-mail them to the CLE & Events Manager, Megan Leppert, (617) 778-1924, [email protected].

• Please do not add fancy formatting to your materials.

o do not include page numberso use a standard font (Times New Roman, 12pt preferred) o use bullets and outline functions as little as possibleo single space or double space your document, but keep the spacing uniform

What will the BBA do with the materials?

• In short, we compile them into a book.

• We will add page numbers and create a table of contents.

• When necessary, we will obtain the necessary permission to reprint.

• Compile and edit the biographies so they are all of a similar length and format.

• Have the materials copied put in to a book or booklet format.

• Create CD with cases & statutes if the book is over 400 pages. If you think this will be the case, please contact the CLE & Events Manager, Megan Leppert, (617) 778-1924, [email protected].

On-Line Broadcasting of ProgramsWhat is On-Line Broadcasting?

The Boston Bar Association broadcasts many of its programs over the Internet through West LegalEdCenter – live! After the program, many programs are available on-demand. People from anywhere in the world, as long as they have an internet connection, can view BBA programs on-line. Many states will give people CLE credit for on-line programs.

What do we broadcast?

We broadcast all CLE programs and most Brown Bag Lunch and Section programs held at the BBA. Programs must have written materials to be broadcast, and do qualify for on-line CLE credit. If you believe your program would be good to broadcast on-line, please contact Christine Cheung at [email protected] or 617-778-1982.

Why do we broadcast?

Offering programs on-line gives the BBA and the program speakers’ nation-wide exposure. We have been broadcasting regularly for a number of years, with over 90% of our viewers from outside of Massachusetts. West LegalEdcenter also offers discounts to BBA members.

Will the recording affect or interrupt the program?

No. A small permanent wall-mounted camera is located very discreetly in the corner of the room and is present even when not in use. The camera is activated remotely to ensure that the recording of a program does not intrude in any way on the program itself.

What if I don’t want to be on-line?

Please tell us. It will not be a problem.

Is there any additional work involved?

No. The BBA just needs all speakers to sign a form (a BBA staff member will contact you in advance with a speaker release form) giving us your permission to broadcast your presentation on-line.

Do I give up the rights to my materials and presentation when I agree to be part of an on-line program?

No. You do not give up the right to your written materials or presentation. We only ask to use the materials for the broadcast and for on-demand programs. You retain the rights to use your materials and presentations at later programs. If at anytime you do not want the program available on-line, the BBA will have the program removed.
