Keep raising the bar. A N N U A L R E P O R T 2 0 0 7 – 2 0 0 8 Our mission: Excellence in the practice of law. Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) aims to keep raising the caliber of lawyers’ professional and ethical service to their clients and communities by providing comprehensive and highly practical continuing legal education of the highest quality to the broadest possible audience. MC L E Keep raising the bar.® Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education W H AT I S M C L E ? Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education, Inc. has been the Massachusetts’ legal community’s premier provider of hands-on programs and practical reference materials for over 50 years. Originally begun as a committee of the Massachusetts Bar Association, MCLE was incorporated in 1969 as a joint venture of the MBA and the Boston Bar Association. In 1976, we merged with the New England Law Institute, bringing to our operation a history of CLE dating from 1953. MCLE is a nonprofit, self-supporting educational institution. We depend solely on sponsor membership dues, program registration fees, publications sales, and charitable contributions to finance our instructional activities and sustain growth and innovation in our programs, publications, and services.

Scott Miller, Esq., Publications Attorney Donald Ferland, Acquisitions Assistant Elizabeth Williams, Acquisitions Assistant Unless otherwise indicated, information included in this report was compiled for the period between September 1, 2007 and August 31, 2008, inclusive. MCLE staff has made every effort to be accurate; we apologize for any oversights or other errors we may have made in assembling and presenting this material. Please let us know if you come across any error or omission so that we can correct our records. From our Board President O ver the past year, MCLE has put plan into action, and I’m very pleased to report on our collective success. One year ago, in this Annual Report, I had the pleasure of highlighting four initiatives that MCLE’s Board and staff had undertaken to implement our Long Range Plan using technology in new ways: (1) instituting a weekly email newsletter to promote MCLE’s many products and services to the community; (2) collaborating with West LegalEdcenter to air webcasts of MCLE’s programs across the nation; (3) redesigning MCLE’s website; and (4) introducing a subscription-based online library of MCLE publications to the legal community. I’m proud to report not only has MCLE accomplished all of these goals during the past year, but that in doing so, we exceeded even our own expectations. As of July 2008, MCLE’s new website is fully operational. Its interactive features help users to better manage their subscriptions, take control of their CLE by customizing their preferences online, manage their accounts, and use MCLE’s rich databases in their legal research. The website, www.mcle.org, integrates with our weekly email communications to offer lawyers free content and free introductory trials of the MCLE OnlineLibraryTM. Law firms, individual subscribers, libraries, and new lawyers alike are logging on to our website and discovering what the OnlineLibrary has to offer them. In the past year, MCLE has also expanded its outreach to lawyers: A new lawyer initiative was begun in September 2007 with the roll-back of program fees for lawyers admitted to practice during the prior five years. In addition, a drive to encourage new lawyers to become MCLE Sponsors has resulted in increased activity among this important segment of our bar. To date, new lawyers represent over onefifth of MCLE’s total program registrations—a nine percent increase over last year’s numbers. This is due largely to incentives MCLE has put in place to interest new lawyers in becoming MCLE Sponsor Members. Massachusetts’ new lawyer swearing-in ceremonies also provided an occasion to introduce new lawyers to MCLE products. As a welcoming gesture to the newly admitted lawyers, MCLE discounted the price of the OnlineLibrary for new lawyers, while word continues to get out about the value proposition offered by MCLE’s BasicsPlus!® packages. Our outreach to lawyers has taken an exciting direction in the form of webcasts. During the summer of 2008, MCLE adopted state-of-theindustry technology to develop independent webcasts of our programs. MCLE has integrated webcasting seamlessly into its daily operations, building a rich archive of webcasts in addition to a compelling weekly menu of live offerings that are eminently accessible on lawyers’ desktops. Our successful foray into webcasting via the MCLE website complements our collaboration with West LegalEdcenter, whereby MCLE’s content is made accessible to lawyers across the nation. Another way in which MCLE has expanded its outreach is by taking our live programming to even more locations across Massachusetts. In response to customers’ requests, a greater variety of programs is offered in locations ranging from Andover to Worcester to Springfield. By taking MCLE “on the road,” we are better able to recruit experts in the same cities and towns in which they practice, lending regional expertise to the content and variety to the curriculum. MCLE has been blessed with a Board of Trustees consisting of distinguished members of the legal community who are dedicated to the institution, willing to give of their time, and genuine in their commitment to the professional development of the bar. During 2008, we were proud to welcome a new Trustee, Thomas F. Maffei, of Griesinger Tight & Maffei LLP, who brings to our “table” his wonderful expertise in business litigation and an impressive history of active MCLE involvement. But as with every vital and lasting organization, arrivals are often paired with departures. This year, Steven H. Wright, of Holland & Knight LLP, will be joining me in rotating off the Board. We thank him for his insights and service on the Board over the past four years and look forward to working with him in different capacities. Finally, and on a personal note, it has been both a pleasure and an honor to have served on MCLE’s Board of Trustees for the past decade, and as Board President for the past two years. I’m happy to have had the opportunity to meet and work with so many talented and dedicated members of our Massachusetts legal community, who share my love for MCLE and my pride in our legal profession. In 2009, I look forward to succeeding Joseph P.J. Vrabel, as President of MCLE’s distinguished Board of Overseers. Joe Vrabel was instrumental in the formation of this important Board of “alumni” trustees, who offer their unique experience and valued institutional memory to help MCLE to continue to move forward. Antoinette E.M. Leoney President “An impressive fifty-five percent of the active bar in Massachusetts helped to move MCLE forward over the past year—21,883 individuals, including faculty volunteers, sponsor members, donors, and our customers.” 2 MCLE ANNUAL REPORT 2007–2008 | Keep raising the bar.

Volunteer… MCLE’s webcasting initiatives are part of an overall plan to engage the lawyers of today and tomorrow, who are increasingly comfortable working in an online environment.” —Phyllis E. Federico, Chair, MCLE Long-Range Planning Committee No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. —Aesop Extending the Reach The volunteer experience at MCLE reflects both a rich past and a vibrant present. For nearly four decades MCLE volunteers have been developing and presenting seminars, preparing rich collections of written materials and generally “raising the bar” for legal practice. In 2007-2008, some 2,336 lawyers, judges and other professionals volunteered for MCLE. They lectured, led workshops, conducted demonstrations, moderated panel discussions, answered questions, authored and reviewed monographs, edited and updated book chapters, served on MCLE’s board and offered advice on its curriculum. Recognizing the extraordinary value of these contributions, MCLE has been making a concerted effort to extend their reach—bringing the knowledge and wisdom of its volunteers to more attorneys in Massachusetts, other New England states and beyond. Webcasting a Wider Net One of the most important elements of this effort has been MCLE’s steadily expanding presence on the Web—the educational forum of choice for an increasing number of attorneys. Through a collaboration with West LegalEdcenter—now augmented by webcasts available solely through MCLE’s website—MCLE has taken the seminar experience from Milstein Hall and the Ten Winter Place classrooms to computer screens from South Hadley, Massachusetts, to Sydney, Australia. Bookmaking Beyond the Borders For a period now approaching two decades, MCLE’s publishing program has concentrated on Massachusetts law and practice, and built one of the deepest and broadest collections in the country. While continuing to improve and update this collection, MCLE has recently begun to develop a series of titles for other New England states, beginning with Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut. Initial efforts will focus on core practice area topics such as estate planning, evidence and divorce. These newest titles will build on the work of volunteer editors and authors from Massachusetts, with volunteer practitioners from neighboring states adapting MCLE publications as necessary to adjust for interstate differences in law and practice. Maintaining a Standard of Excellence MCLE has spent many years establishing a reputation for excellence in its programs and publications, and it continues these efforts even as it extends the reach of its educational offerings throughout Massachusetts and beyond its borders. In 2008 MCLE won its 29th award from ACLEA, the international association of continuing legal education organizations. The 2008 award recognized the “Wealth Management Bootcamp for Lawyers,” a two-day intensive program led by experts from major financial institutions. Staying Ahead of the Latest Developments Every year important changes in the law sweep through the Massachusetts legal community. This year the fallout from declining housing and financial markets and major new initiatives by the courts have had a substantial impact on legal practice. MCLE has responded with expanded programming and publications in such key areas as foreclosures, bankruptcy, guardianship and evidence to ensure that, as the law and the economy move forward, the bar will not be left behind. Appreciating Our Volunteers None of MCLE’s educational initiatives— including its most recent—would be possible without the extraordinary talent and effort of its volunteers. MCLE remains indebted to this outstanding group of professionals for their commitment to continuing legal education.

Give… With MCLE scholarships, our staff can better serve those in homeless shelters and in small, communitybased non-profits across the Commonwealth, which, in turn, serve people in their localities. Thank you again for your generous help in educating our staff.” —Maribeth Perry, Executive Director, Lawyers Clearinghouse on Affordable Housing and Homelessness, Inc., Boston Helping to Give Voice MCLE is committed not only to keeping lawyers current in their fields, but also to ensuring that our system of justice is fair and accessible to everyone. MCLE helps advance these objectives by: ■ offering scholarships to every legal services staff attorney in the Commonwealth, freeing up legal services funds for direct client representation; ■ working with pro bono organizations throughout the state to make scholarships available as a tool to recruit, train, and retain pro bono volunteers; ■ providing needs-based scholarships to practitioners who have little or no budget for continuing education. Over the past year, MCLE awarded 1,473 scholarships—over 11% of all seminar registrations—to support the training of lawyers who otherwise would not be able to attend MCLE programs. These lawyers are vital to ensuring that even the most vulnerable members of our society have a voice in our legal system. Throughout the year, scholarships were awarded to more than 150 programs, covering every practice area. Programs in family and criminal law accounted for nearly 700, or 47%, of all scholarship requests. Special education and school law courses and those specifically designed for solo and small firm practitioners continue to receive a large number of requests for financial assistance. In addition, scholarship requests for MCLE courses on consumer bankruptcy and foreclosures increased noticeably over the previous year. Closing in on Our Campaign Goal In order to sustain our practice of awarding scholarships to MCLE programs, MCLE’s Board of Trustees voted in 2005 to create a scholarship endowment by raising $2.5 million to endow 1,000 scholarships in perpetuity. Due to the generosity of over 400 lawyers and firms, the Campaign for Endowed Scholarships has exceeded the 60% mark and, as of October 31, 2008, raised nearly $1,530,000. During the past year, through the generosity of many donors, MCLE established four new named scholarship funds—honoring Loring P. Jordan, Jr., Hon. Robert E. Keeton, Gitta M. Kurlat, and Herbert “Wiley” Vaughan—bringing the number of named scholarship funds to 22. In addition to funding scholarships to MCLE programs, these funds provide a lasting and meaningful way for family, friends, and colleagues to pay tribute to outstanding members of the legal community whose lives and work exemplify the best of Massachusetts’ rich legal heritage. Pursuing Donor-Worthy Activities MCLE continues to look for ways to assist those organizations in Massachusetts that advocate for some of the most vulnerable members of our society, including children, the elderly, individuals with disabilities, the homeless, tenants facing eviction, homeowners facing foreclosure, victims of domestic violence, and immigrants seeking asylum. Last year, MCLE distributed over 1,100 vouchers to 35 organizations that provide legal services or assign pro bono cases in Massachusetts to assist them in training their staff attorneys or in recruiting and training private counsel who accept cases on a pro bono basis. Our scholarships help free up those organizations’ limited resources so that they can more directly focus them on client services. In a related effort, MCLE extended scholarships to members of the newly created Hampden County Bar Association’s Foreclosure Task Force so that they could attend bankruptcy and foreclosure programs in Springfield. The Task Force used MCLE scholarships to help recruit and train lawyers to counsel on a or reduced-fee basis individuals in Hampden County who, as a result of the sub-prime mortgage crisis and predatory lending practices, face foreclosure or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In addition, MCLE has joined forces with Massachusetts Law Reform Institute (MLRI) to make annual government basic benefits training more accessible to the many public and private sector professionals who assist Massachusetts residents in qualifying for and receiving government benefits. Therefore, in addition to the long-standing partnership MCLE has had with MLRI to publish MLRI’s signature Advocacy Guides, MCLE is proud to expand our collaboration to include the offering of nine annual basic benifits training programs. As we continue towards our Campaign goal, we thank our generous donors for their support of our scholarship endowment and for helping MCLE train lawyers and other advocates to ensure that our state’s most vulnerable citizens have a voice.
