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.

The Academy has adopted a Registration Fee Discount schedule for Advance Registrations for attorneys employed by those County Prosecutors and other county offices which have very small staffs. That Fee Discount Schedule is online at http://academyofcle.com/Discount.pdf.
Economic circumstances have made it necessary, for the first time in 2009, for the Academy to establish formal policies for Registrations, Payments, Cancellations and Refunds. Those policies are online at http://academyofcle.com/RegPolicy.pdf.
The Academy's customary annual November seminar in Mexico has been cancelled for 2009, due to difficult economic circumstances. We contemplate a November 8 and 9, 2010, program, with an environmental law theme, to celebrate the economic recovery. Details will be posted online at http://academyofcle.com/sem10nov.htm when that decision is made. Mark your calendars for Veterans Day 2010.
The Academy will present another one-day Election Law program soon. We anticipate that the Ohio General Assembly will adopt either HB 260 or SB 6 election law amendments or some variation thereof, and we will set up a program as soon as that happens. The program, when it happens, will include discussion of The United States Supreme Court decision of January 21, 2010, on corporate and union advertising in election campaigns. Details, a program outline, and a registration form will be available here.
The Academy will present another one-day Foreclosure Law program as the Attorney-General's lawsuit against HomEq Servicing, claiming violations of the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, develops.
