AAA EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE
As part of its long-standing, ongoing educational mission, the American Arbitration Association grants a limited number of scholarships that cover the cost of educational program registration. Scholarship eligibility is limited to students, government workers, retired professionals, arbitrators/mediators who are no longer active on the AAA roster, and others as may be determined by the AAA. To request a registration fee scholarship, please send an email to Scholarships@adr.org. Include your current position and affiliation, and a brief description of the basis for your registration fee scholarship request. The American Arbitration Association reserves the right to grant or deny any request based on the information provided by the requesting individual and available space in the program.

If you are an AAA Panelist please note this program does not satisfy your annual Arbitrator Continuing Education (ACE) requirement.  For 2020, only the complimentary online ACE 20 - Cyber Security: A Shared Responsibility program will satisfy the annual ACE training requirement.

CLE Information:

West LegalEdcenter is procuring continuing legal education (CLE) credits on behalf of American Arbitration Association. This program is available for CLE credits in California, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Credit amounts vary by attendance verification and jurisdictional rules and cannot be confirmed in advance of the program.

If you require CLE in a jurisdiction that is not listed, or if you are a professional in a discipline other than the practice of law, you will have an opportunity to request a general attendance certificate which you may be able to use to submit the program on your own for credit (we suggest that you confirm application requirements with the appropriate licensing body).
