Maine CLE Rosters That Reach the Board Without the Typing

Attorneys give their Maine bar number when they register. LecturePanda builds the attendance roster, course numbers, bar numbers and credits included, and emails it to the Board of Overseers of the Bar on the schedule you set.

The Last Panel Ends, and the Roster Work Begins

The seminar went well. Now someone turns a sign-in sheet into a roster for the Board: names, bar numbers, course numbers and credits, typed one attorney at a time.

  • Bar numbers chased down after the programEmails to attorneys who are already back in court or with clients.
  • General and ethics credits keyed separatelyThe same attorney typed in again for every credit category.
  • A roster for every programTyped, checked and emailed, then again after the next one.
With LecturePanda

Your Roster Goes to the Board on Schedule

1
Start from the Board's Format

Choose "Start from a board's format" and pick Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar (CLE). The columns, the file name and the email are set for you.

2
Ask for the Maine Bar Number Once

Pick the registration question that holds it, or let the setup create one. The number is checked as the attorney types it.

3
Type the Course Number and Category

Each credit carries the course number from the Board's approval letter and its Maine credit category, typed once. The credits come from the credit itself.

4
Let It Send

On the schedule you set, each roster goes to the Board's CLE staff, the Board's address already filled in and your admin copied.

What changes for your team

Rosters That Build Themselves While Attorneys Register

Bar Numbers From Registration

Asked once on your form and checked while the attorney is still on it.

Emailed Straight to the Board

The roster goes to the Board's CLE staff as an Excel file, the address filled in for you and your admin copied.

Every Credit Category Reported

A program with General and Ethics and Professionalism credit gives each attorney a row per category, credits filled in.

A Week of Programs in One Roster

Each row carries its course number, so a lunch seminar and a full-day conference go out together.

On Your Schedule

Weekly, or daily after the annual meeting, without anyone remembering to send it.

Every Roster on Record

A preview before each send, and Send History with a download and Resend for a year after.

Questions from Maine CLE Sponsors

How long does setup take?

One short sitting. Choose "Start from a board's format" in a Spreadsheet Report and pick Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar (CLE), choose the registration question that holds the Maine bar number or let LecturePanda create one, and type each credit's Maine course number and credit category. We're glad to set it up with you on a call using one of your own programs.

What do we need to have ready?

Each program's course number from the Board's approval letter, and the credit categories and credits it was approved for. LecturePanda takes care of the columns, the names, the dates, the Board's address and the schedule.

Our program carries General and ethics credit. Does that work?

Yes. Give the course a credit for each category, such as General and Ethics and Professionalism, each with its own credits. Every attorney gets a row for each credit they earn, all in the same roster.

What if an attorney types their bar number wrong?

The Maine bar number question takes up to 6 digits, so stray letters and symbols are fixed on the spot by the attorney who knows the number. The preview shows the next roster's rows before it goes, and Send History keeps every roster, with its rows, for a year.

Some of our attendees are admitted in other states. What happens to them?

The Maine roster carries the attorneys with a Maine bar number, and everyone still gets their certificate of attendance. A program approved in more than one state can send each one its own file from the same registration.

Does it work for in-house and free programs?

Yes. A law firm's in-house CLE, a free county bar association lunch program and a paid statewide conference all report the same way, and Spreadsheet Reports are part of the LecturePanda subscription; see pricing.

Can we still change the roster?

Yes. Once it's set up, the Maine CLE report is an ordinary Spreadsheet Report: change the schedule, add a recipient or adjust a column whenever you need to. Send a test shows you the result first.
