West LegalEdcenter Employs User Feedback to Enhance CLE Mobile

Eagan, Minn.  June 16, 2010 – West LegalEdcenter, a Thomson Reuters business, today announced that it has upgraded its CLE Mobile app based on recent user feedback.

Available as a free download from Apple’s App Store, CLE Mobile allows attorneys seeking continuing legal education (CLE) credit to take West LegalEdcenter courses on their iPhone or iPod touch. CLE Mobile Version 2 includes the ability to search, purchase and delete programs directly from the app itself – features most often requested by CLE Mobile users.

“From downloading the app to playing a program, our user surveys reveal high levels of satisfaction with the CLE Mobile experience,” says Lee Ann Enquist, vice president, West Professional Development. “Of course, we are always striving for improvement and user comments are vital in our continuing quest to upgrade our products and services.”

Launched in December 2009, CLE Mobile allows users to listen to more than 2,000 CLE courses wherever they are and whenever it is most convenient. Users also have access to one free CLE program when they download the app.

All state-required regulatory safeguards are incorporated in the Mobile environment, so CLE Mobile users may submit completed courses for online state mandatory CLE credit. The app also allows users to manage their westlegaledcenter.com profile, including licensing states and registration numbers.

Additionally, CLE Mobile gives law firms the ability to make their own CLE and training content mobile with West LegalEdcenter’s in-house training. This option allows law firms to better meet their attorneys’ needs by making their own programming even more flexible and accessible.
