What attorneys say
Trusted by practitioners for over two decades
The CLE webinars presented by the Institute for Jewish Ethics are simply wonderful and engaging. They select impressive and renowned scholars — both secular and rabbinical — to speak on a variety of current topics. Each session beautifully intertwines religion, the law, and the realities of daily life. Each time I listen to one of the programs I think, “How can IJE top this line-up of presentation talent?” Yet each time they do, and I'm thankful for their dedication to always educate us with the best.
