At a time of rapid change in the legal profession, New York bar associations have come up with an offer that they’re hoping will lure members back to the fold: CLE classes for free and at steep discounts.

The New York City Bar announced Friday that most of its hundreds of CLE classes will be free for new graduates, newly admitted lawyers, in-house/corporate counsel, academics, nonprofit lawyers, judges and their staffs. The rest of the association’s more than 24,000 members can choose to pay an annual fee between $399 and $499 for unlimited classes.
