Academy FAQs

What is InterActive Legal Academy?

InterActive Legal Academy is a platform providing an opportunity to learn from experienced attorneys on topics relevant to estate planners, including the basics of estate planning, transfer tax planning, and more. Currently, the Academy offers 2 series of courses: the Estate Planning Tax Series and the Estate Planning Basics Series. Each series runs for 4 weeks. The Academy content is presented through GoToWebinar as a Virtual Event.

Who May Attend the Academy?

The Academy is open to both InterActive Legal subscribers and non-subscribers. Although the curriculum is designed for attorneys and paralegals, all are welcome to attend.

What’s Covered in Each Series?

Each series includes 8 hour-long instruction sessions (2 per week) and 4 hour-long drafting workshops (1 per week), featuring drafting tips as well as attendee questions. Instruction sessions run on Tuesday and Thursday of each week, followed by a workshop on Friday covering that week’s instruction sessions. Class time for all instruction sessions and workshops is 1pm ET.

An informational session will be held on the Monday before the first instruction session (also at 1pm ET). This session will cover the series syllabus and general administration of the sessions and workshops. No CLE credit is provided for the informational session. The informational session also provides registrants with the opportunity to test their connection to audio and video through the GoToWebinar Virtual Event platform.

CLE credit, to the extent it is available, may be available only for sessions attended live, depending on state rules.

Will I Receive CLE Credit?

The Estate Planning Basics Series and the Estate Planning Tax Series have both been approved for 12 hours CLE credit by the State of Florida as a live webcast and online program.  (However, the program does not focus exclusively on Florida law and is appropriate for practitioners in all states; the focus is primarily on federal tax law and also the laws of a variety of states). Other states may offer CLE credit for programs meeting their accreditation requirements.  Attendees wishing to receive CLE credit in states other than Florida will be responsible for applying for credit in those states and submitting any documentation required with the application.  InterActive Legal does not provide information on any particular state’s requirements for obtaining CLE credit or documentation intended specifically for the purpose of obtaining CLE credit in any particular state.  CLE credit, to the extent it is available, may be available only for sessions attended live, depending on state rules. A unique code will be provided to attendees during each session to establish proof of attendance. Attendees will receive a certificate of attendance for the number of course hours attended.  Proof of attendance by providing the unique attendance codes will be required in order to receive the certificate of attendance for the number of hours attended.
