West LegalEdcenter is unveiling the latest app from Thomson Reuters, Legal for the iPhone and iPod touch. It is CLE Mobile, a free download from the App Store for attorneys seeking a more mobile-friendly way to get their continuing legal education (CLE) credits.
CLE Mobile allows users to listen to more than 2,000 CLE courses. Audio programs available for download to the CLE Mobile app are identified as “Mobile Compatible” on westlegaledcenter.com. After purchasing available content online through a free West LegalEdcenter account, courses become available for download to an iPhone or iPod touch through the CLE Mobile app.
Users also have access to one free ethics CLE program when they download the app.
Lee Ann Enquist, vice president, West Professional Development and head of West LegalEdcenter, wrote about the app on the CLE Mobile blog and says it was developed remarkably quickly:
“…we were able to build a superior user experience – with all of the regulatory safeguards necessary – in just six months. This effort signifies our strategic commitment to shortening the development time for technology-driven tools that our customers demand. As we actively seek customer feedback, we will continue to compress our response and development time.”
More information is on the CLE Mobile Web page. And there’s a video on our YouTube channel that highlights the features as well:
CLE Mobile also allows users to submit completed courses for online state mandatory CLE credit. West LegalEdcenter has recreated its online experience. All of the regulatory safeguards that states require have been incorporated into the mobile environment. This allows users to earn credits as they would with an on-demand program at West LegalEdcenter, not just with a downloaded podcast for self-study credit. The app allows users to manage their westlegaledcenter.com profile, including licensing states and registration numbers.
In addition, CLE Mobile gives law firms the ability to make their own CLE and training content mobile with West LegalEdcenter’s in-house training.
CLE Mobile joins several other mobile applications launched this year by Thomson Reuters, including BARBRI Mobile and Black’s Law Dictionary. For more information on those applications, click here.
