Volunteer Trainings & CLEs
Training/CLE Calendar
| KCBA CLE Department | Training Videos
PBS Volunteer Attorneys are encouraged to attend CLEs. Througout the year the PBS Department hosts several CLEs. These trainings range from full-day CLEs to hour-long brown bag lunch trainings. While some are free, such as the brown bag trainings, others do have a small fee to cover the costs of printing and space. The trainings are designed to present current information, substantive law training and resources for volunteer attorneys to better advise and guide clients.
Pro Bono Services CLEs
All current trainings and CLE information available at Pro Bono Dicta Calendar.
Additional CLE Credits for Pro Bono Work
Regulation 103(g) of the Washington State Bar Association (WSBA) allows attorneys to earn CLE credit for some of their volunteer client work at the KCBA PBS Programs. A lawyer may earn six credits per year – two for Pro Bono training and four for Pro Bono service. For more information, see the
