I'm sending this press release via e-mail that decsribes a new and
innovative legal application on the WWW. It combines audio and sound over
the internet and is accredited for MCLE in California. I welcome your
thoughts on the program as well as other subjects you would be interested in
seeing.
Cheers,

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
> January 22, 1996
>
> FIRST INTERNET AUDIO CLE PROGRAM
> FOCUSES ON LAWYER "BURNOUT"
>
> Menlo Park, Calif. Move over audiocassettes-lawyers may now log on to the
> Internet for audio-based continuing legal education (CLE) programs
delivered
> in "real time." With Keeping the Fire: From Burnout to Balance, by Ruth
> Luban, M.A., CLE Group of Menlo Park, Calif., has launched cle.Net, a web
> site dedicated to providing CLE-accredited audio programs on a variety of
> topics available to anyone with a dial-up connection to the World-Wide Web.
>
> CLE Group uses a technology called RealAudio to deliver this audio program
> "on demand"-that is, while listeners are on-line, rather than requiring
them
> to wait until the audio is fully downloaded. "CLE Group is at the cutting
> edge of a revolution in legal publishing," said David Arfin, president of
CLE
> Group, "and we're continually looking for ways to help lawyers better serve
> their clients and themselves."
>
> Keeping the Fire uses personal case histories, written materials and
> self-assessment exercises to illuminate the process of "burnout." The
> program helps listeners recognize symptoms, redefine their values and
> priorities, and develop personal coping strategies. In addition to
receiving
> immediate therapeutic benefit, lawyers registering for this unique program
> can receive up to two CLE credits for their participation.
>
> Statistics point up the immediate need for such a program. For example, a
> Rand Corporation study last year concluded that California attorneys were
> "profoundly pessimistic" about the law, with only half indicating that they
> would choose again to be lawyers. Seven out of ten California lawyers
> responded that they would like to change careers.
> These numbers are no surprise to author Luban. She originally published
her
> program for professional burnout in 1994. "Having counseled many lawyers
> suffering from burnout, I welcomed the opportunity to work with CLE Group
to
> provide a package tailored to the legal profession that could reach such a
> wide audience on the Web," said Luban.
>
> Designed and produced by burned-out-attorney-turned-multimedia-developer
> David Simon, Keeping the Fire: From Burnout To Balance is available on-line
> at http://www.clegroup.com/cle_net. A 14,400-bps or faster modem is
> required.
>
> Since 1992, CLE Group has provided technology-based solutions to the legal
> market. The company was the first legal publisher to provide interactive
> video-based desktop legal training with the award-winning series The
> Interactive Courtroom on CD-ROM.
