The New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education (NJICLE) was again voted the number one New Jersey-based continuing legal education (CLE) provider and online CLE provider in the New Jersey Law Journal's annual Best of New Jersey contest.

"It is fantastic news, and such a testament to all of the hard work of our dedicated team of professionals and outstanding volunteers," said Angela Scheck, executive director of the New Jersey State Bar Association (NJSBA). NJICLE is a division of the NJSBA.

"We are grateful to the attorneys, judges and other professionals who selflessly volunteer their time and expertise to educate their colleagues, and who have helped make NJICLE's award-winning CLE platform a great success," Scheck said.

The competition was open to attorneys and firm administrators, who cast ballots for their top picks in dozens of categories that included legal products and service providers. The top three vote-getters were chosen in each category.

NJICLE's consistent top ranking earned it a spot in the New Jersey Law Journal's Hall of Fame. To qualify, a company, organization or product must have placed in the top three in its category in at least four of the last five years.

About 350 seminars in a wide range of practice areas are provided by NJICLE each year, educating more than 35,000 lawyers, judges and other legal professionals. The seminars are presented in venues throughout New Jersey, and provide education for attorneys at every professional level, from those who are just starting out in the legal profession and need to learn the basics to longtime practitioners looking for in-depth analysis.
