May a sponsor offer a CLE program to a law firm in North Carolina?
Yes, as long as the program is open to any interested attorney from outside the law firm, the course will be approved for CLE credit in North Carolina. The program may be advertised to the wider legal community by placing a notice in the local courthouse or legal journal at least ten days in advance of the course date. The firm may also invite outside attorneys to attend. Failure to make the program available to attorneys outside the law firm will result in denial of CLE credit for the program. The CLE department may request proof of outside attendance for any program offered at a law firm.
