Did you know that you can earn your credits for CLE abroad?
That’s right—now you can fulfill your continuing legal education (CLE) requirements while enjoying a relaxing vacation at the same time with Destination CLEs.
Whether you’re looking for an all-inclusive beach getaway or an urban adventure in a faraway city, we have a CLE vacation to suit your needs. Here are some of the exciting eduvacation℠ packages you can choose from!
Why Go for a Destination CLE Abroad?
If you got burned out completing your CLEs online during the pandemic, taking the eduvacation℠ of a Destination CLE is a great way to not only earn your academic credits, but also to experience a new culture and create some fun new memories.
But why else is taking a Destination CLE an absolute must during your legal career? Here are the top five reasons:
1) In-Person Networking
It’s no secret that in-person networking and meeting new legal contacts face-to-face has many benefits for your career, including opportunities that sometimes arise from building new relationships. Plus, face-to-face interactions can also build confidence and improve social interactions, which will also benefit your career in the long run.
2) A Well-Deserved Break
The legal profession is notorious for being fast-paced and hectic. Of course, even law students are not immune to the hustle and bustle of this field, thanks to the heavy workload they often experience in law school. Going on a Destination CLE not only refreshes your mind, but it also gives your body a much needed and well-deserved break. After all, if you don’t make time to replenish your energy, you’re putting yourself at risk for lawyer burnout—a serious issue that will prevent you from reaching your full potential. This is why making time for vacations is actually vital to a successful career in law.
3) Builds Relationships
Of course, you don’t have to travel alone if you want to complete your CLE credit hours abroad. With Destination CLEs, you can bring your family, friends, and colleagues, too! Plus, we offer group rates and packages for excursions and fun experiences that your non-lawyer travel companions will be thrilled to join you on. With Destination CLEs, you can complete your MCLE requirement while enjoying family time in an exotic location. Trust us, learning is way better with your loved ones around!
4) Increases Knowledge
The practice of law is a never-ending learning experience. Aside from improving your knowledge of the law, you’ll also get to study comparative law when you travel abroad for your CLEs. Plus, traveling abroad gives you a chance to get to know different cultures, food, and interesting people. The learning opportunities with an eduvacation℠ from Destination CLEs are truly endless!
5) Improves Health
It’s no secret that vacations and fun trips are refreshing. In fact, taking a vacation has been shown to improve mental health, boost moods, increase creativity, and improve overall well-being (source). In other words, the health benefits of traveling abroad are actually scientifically proven!
