Four Corners Seminars
The LSBA conducts free seven hour seminars at the four corners of the State on legal
technology, ethics and professionalism in Covington, Lake Charles, West Monroe and Bossier

“Tech Tuesdays” and “Management Mondays”
In April 2012, the LSBA implemented a CLE program entitled “Tech Tuesdays” and this
is a monthly Lunch and Learn CLE program at the Bar Center. The charge is approximately
$10.00. Every other month a different law office management topic will be covered.
In January 2015, the LSBA initiated another CLE program called “Management
Mondays” (formerly Marketing Mondays) which are CLEs dedicated to the business and
marketing end of the practice of law.
Webinar participation has been offered for some of these programs.
