UT Law CLE

What UT Law CLE does

UT Law CLE is the Continuing Legal Education department of The University of Texas School of Law, providing accredited CLE programming to practicing attorneys across Texas, California, and Oklahoma. The organization operates as a self-supporting non-profit unit within the university, covering 100% of its own operating costs and contributing net revenue that primarily funds UT Law scholarships and student benefits.

The core product portfolio spans four delivery formats: Live Conferences (40+ MCLE-accredited in-person programs annually at venues in Austin, Dallas, and Galveston); Studio Webcasts (live-streamed remote attendance with real-time interaction); eConferences and eCourses (on-demand recordings of past conferences, plus curated bundles such as Hooked on CLE, Answer Bar, and First Friday Ethics); and the eLibrary archive (downloadable papers, audio, video, and slides spanning 30+ practice areas). The underlying platform is an online learning management system with webcast streaming, downloadable materials in PDF/MP3/MP4, and an account-based "Your Briefcase" portal for course materials and certificates, with direct MCLE credit reporting integrations to the State Bar of Texas and self-reporting integrations for California and Oklahoma.

The business model combines one-time conference registrations (individual and group rates), tiered annual subscriptions ($395 eLibrary, $995 MCLE On-Demand, $1,295 combined), and unit-priced materials sales ($75-$245). Marketing is concentrated on utcle.org, email outreach to registered members, and the live conferences themselves as both demand generation and customer acquisition channels. Competitive positioning rests on the UT School of Law brand, multi-jurisdictional MCLE accreditation, a multi-decade content archive, and flagship co-sponsorship arrangements with bar sections (e.g., Entertainment and Sports Law) and professional associations (Texas Chapter of NAELA).
