CLE Credit Available for this episode from podcast.njsba.com.

When you visit the site you fill out a form and provide the code Andy read during the episode, pay a small fee, and within two weeks you will receive the certificate from New Jersey. It couldn’t be easier. Thanks to the New Jersey Bar Association for making this possible! Note, too, that other podcast episodes from our “back catalog” now qualify for this credit as well.
