PROCEDURES FOR SUBMITTING CAFL CLES

Please read the following carefully to ensure that your CLE credits are processed.

  • Kaitlyn Severin ([email protected]) is the point person for CAFL CLEs. Please do not send CLE-related questions or documents to Rita Caso unless explicitly instructed to do so.
  • Fill out this form for each CAFL-approved training you complete: https://www.cognitoforms.com/committeeforpubliccounselservices/caflcleaffirmationform. You no longer need to submit certificates or affirmation documents. The signed electronic form is sufficient to affirm attendance.
  • When you submit the form, you will receive an automatic confirmation for your records. You will not receive further confirmation from Kaitlyn, but you can reach out to her with any questions.
  • Please check the CPCS Training Calendar first to see if a program is approved for credit. If you would like to request credit for a program that is not on the list, please email [email protected].
  • Note about recordings of past trainings: In addition to future training programs, attorneys can take advantage of the many recorded webinars approved for credit in prior years.  Recordings of CPCS trainings can be found on MyGideon.org.  If you are having trouble logging in to MyGideon, please email [email protected].  There are also recordings of approved webinars available on the websites of outside organizations such as MCLE, the Children’s Bureau, the NACC and the ABA.
