Professionalism Credits

Dear Students:

Don’t forget that you will need 6 hours of CPE credit to graduate! These are professionalism credits (not pro bono) for attendance at events approved by the Professionalism Committee. You can check to see how many CPE credits you have completed by going into your student portal via Academics, My Grades and filtering by the term. Event credit may take up to several weeks to post, however.

Events worth at least three hours of credit (together) will be offered each semester at FCSL. This spring, we will have many more opportunities. Don’t forget to pick up your password at the end of each event from a member of the Professionalism Committee and complete the survey on Class Climate within 7 days of the event, to get credit! Lost/forgotten passwords will not be replaced, unfortunately.

CPE events can be found on the FCSL Events Calendar (http://www.fcsl.edu/event).  New events are added frequently, so check back often.

Seating may be limited, so please come early to the events and don’t expect to be able to save seats for others. We are doing our best to reserve the largest available rooms for these events.

We have posted a set of policies and procedures on our link to help you navigate your way through accumulating the necessary CPE credits for graduation. Also, you can now reach the Professionalism Committee by email to professionalismcommittee@fcsl.edu.

Shadow Program Orientation events – You can earn CPE credits for shadowing but not for this orientation; however, you MUST attend an orientation to be eligible to shadow an attorney or judge, so you might want to attend this in preparation. Then, you can earn credits when you shadow. See Professors Millard and Hornstein for more information.
