CLE CLASSES

Where's the law that says CLE courses have to be boring? At Crossroads Theater, we use the performing and visual arts to make CLE an engaging experience you'll look forward to. If someone utters the letters "C-L-E," do you find yourself suddenly overcome by a mind-numbing surge of apathy? Then consider our alternative. We offer a more entertaining (and often provocative) spin on continuing legal education, breathing life into legal learning through the use of drama, poetry and documentary film. Our venue, Crossroads Theater, is in the historic, red-brick neighborhood of Five Points, not far from downtown Denver. Depending on where you work, you can access us by light rail. Simply take the D train and debark at 27th and Welton, just twenty paces from our entrance. So by all means, come experience CLE as you never have. We very much look forward to the pleasure of educating you as we entertain you. What CLE courses will we present? Our schedule (along with this web site) is currently under development; please check back to see our course offering which will cover several major practice areas.

Pricing for our CLE courses will be consistent with any other live CLE course in Denver. However, you should consider that proceeds will directly support Crossroads Theater, which enriches the community by offering a convergence of cultures and art forms, including theater, poetry, music and the visual arts. Also, as a business expense, your CLE courses may qualify as a tax deduction. (But we advise you to consult with your CPA. We're attorneys, not accountants.)
