In partnership with several local bar associations, CLEs are offered to attorneys and other legal professionals in Anne Arundel County and throughout the state. 

The Legal Studies Institute is dedicated to enhancing the practice and public understanding of mediation and conflict resolution. We offer courses to enhance your professional skills and practice. Mediation is both an art and a science and good mediators are highly trained, experienced and skilled. Email us at edgable@aacc.edu for information.
