On Demand CLEs

Accessing On-Demand CLEs

The Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education allows attorneys to claim CLE credit through on-demand CLEs. On-demand CLEs are similar to regular CLEs in terms of content, but they may be viewed at any time rather than only during the live presentation. Approved on-demand courses viewed and reported prior to Jan. 1, 2024, are subject to a 30-credit limit per 3-year reporting period. If the approved on-demand course was viewed and reported after January 1, 2024, and is to satisfy reporting requirements for reporting years 2024 and later, there is no credit cap.

Most on-demand CLEs are open to the public, unless otherwise noted. They are available to view for no more 24-months following the date they are approved for on-demand credit.

As various departments at the School of Law host CLEs, the Alumni Relations Office will reach out to the department to find out if a presentation may be recorded for the purpose of seeking on-demand CLE approval. Not all CLEs presented at St. Thomas School of Law will be available for on-demand CLE.

Sign-in Required

St. Thomas School of Law is required to maintain a list of all course participants and provide it to the CLE Board if requested. Please be sure to sign-in via the “sign-in here" hyperlink listed next to the course you intend to view. The event code for each course is posted on the website.

Program Description:

Symposium co-sponsored by the Journal of Law and Public Policy and the Terrence J. Murphy Institute for Catholic Thought, Law, and Business.

Access to quality health care is essential to human thriving, indeed, to human survival. Last year when speaking to health care workers, Pope Francis said: A world that rejects the sick, that does not assist those who cannot afford care, is a cynical world with no future. Let us always remember this: health care is not a luxury, it is for everyone. The culture of care has long been upheld in human societies around the world, predating the familiar story of the Good Samaritan. Although nearly all agree on the aspirational ideal of access to quality health care, difficult questions remain as to how best to achieve that goal in a manner that does not create more harm than it cures. The conventional wisdom has been that a public health model may succeed in providing universal coverage but at the significant cost of quality health care. By contrast, while a largely private model may provide high quality health care to those who can afford it, many are left without meaningful access. In this symposium, we will hear from leading scholars and those on the front lines of health care provision on the subjects of universal access to quality health care, including both public and private models. In addition, speakers will address the distinct calling and mission of Catholic health care provision. The program contact is Gregory Sisk (gcsisk@stthomas.edu).

Program Description:

Professor Helen Alvaré, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University, presents on themes from her 2022 book, Religious Freedom after the Sexual Revolution: A Catholic Guide. In this work, Alvaré examines the pressing religious liberty challenges of the day. She counsels leaders in the Church and her institutions to provide a more compelling, intelligent and compassionate voice on Catholic teachings on life, marriage, family and sexual identity. Without such a voice, the true mission and identity of Catholic institutions are at risk. As noted by Alvaré in the introductory chapter, explaining the place of sexual expression norms in the life of the Church and her institutions is an important part of the contemporary vocation of Catholics. This is not because sexual expression is the most important facet of the Catholic life, but because the world's need is great. The program contact is Gregory Sisk (gcsisk@stthomas.edu).
