Practising Law Institute

RELATED PAGES:  PLI Courses in Catalog | PLI Course Extras

The Practising Law Institute (PLI) is a renowned national provider of continuing legal education founded in 1933. We have selected some of PLI’s most popular programs for "simulcast" to our Philadelphia and Pittsburgh conference centers [Flash! also Mechanicsburg, starting in May 2010). Persons attending view the live broadcast from PLI in New York City. All participants have the opportunity to have their questions answered during the live question and answer sessions. Save yourself the time and expense of an overnight trip to New York City, and take advantage of the specialized educational programs for which PLI is famous. Lunch is served at all of these programs (except the second day of a day-and-a-half program).

Scholarships

PBA member discount coupons may be used for PLI simulcasts. No other PBI discounts or scholarships programs apply. Full and partial scholarships are available from the Practising Law Institute for judges, judicial law clerks, law professors, law students, law librarians, attorneys who work for nonprofit organizations, legal services organizations or government agencies, and unemployed attorneys. Attorneys in private practice who seek to learn skills that will assist them in pro bono activities are encouraged to apply. Scholarship applications must be submitted to PLI at least four weeks prior to the program you wish to attend. Click here to go to PLI's website for instructions on applying, and to print their scholarship application form. (NOTE: If you are granted a scholarship you will need to register through PLI, not PBI.)
