Founded in 1989 by Leo C. DiEgidio, the Academy of Continuing Legal Education seeks to provide classes which will be useful to small-office practitioners who encounter a wide variety of legal issues of concern to individuals, families, and small businesses. The Academy has engaged judges, magistrates, administrative hearing officers, and experienced private practitioners, to present a continuing series of three-hour presentations at various locations around Ohio, each of which is approved by the Supreme Court of Ohio toward fulfilling an Ohio attorney's biennial requirement of continuing education.
Since 1994, the Academy has presented an annual week-long seminar, each of which have provided from fourteen to twenty hours of CLE, each seminar including the mandatory instruction in Ethics and Substance Abuse, and since 1998 including the mandatory instruction in Professional Responsibility.
