The Institute of Continuing Legal Education is a nonprofit continuing legal education organization, entirely self-supported by its seminar registration fees and product sales.

ICLE is a jointly sponsored Institute of the University of Michigan. Its cosponsors are The State Bar of Michigan, The University of Michigan Law School, Wayne State University Law School, The Thomas M. Cooley Law School, University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, and Ave Maria School of Law.

The ICLE Executive Committee consists of representatives of ICLE's sponsoring organizations and meets three times a year with the ICLE Director and department heads.

ICLE was created in 1959 at the request of the Board of Commissioners of the State Bar of Michigan, to meet the continuing education needs of the legal community.

The Institute is located at 1020 Greene Street, on the campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, phone (734) 764-0533; fax (734) 763-2412. See directions.

In addition to a regular staff of employees, including 10 attorneys, ICLE has established a network of volunteer speakers and authors who contribute their expertise to its publications and seminars. ICLE has earned its excellent reputation by consistently providing attorneys with high-quality, accurate, up-to-date, Michigan-specific products and seminars at reasonable prices.

The Institute presents 70-80 individual seminar titles each year, and schedules more than 250 presentations annually. Most live presentations take place in Plymouth, Grand Rapids, or Ann Arbor while video replays occur in Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Lansing, Marquette, and Traverse City. ICLE also makes many of its seminars available as live and archived webcasts to provide CLE access to lawyers in every corner of the state.

ICLE publishes over 50 Michigan treatises and practice handbooks in print, most with annual or periodic supplements. The Institute also produces 3 stand-alone disk products. The majority of ICLE books are also available online, offered as subscriptions to individual titles or as a single subscription to the ICLE Online Library. Online books are continually updated, linked to Michigan primary law, and fully searchable.

The Institute offers Michigan lawyers an ever-expanding set of online resources including webcasts, seminar materials, an extensive bank of drafted legal forms, how-to kits, legal updates, and new law centers. These online resources, along with attendance to ICLE Partnership seminars, are available as part of ICLE’s Partnership, an annual subscription service. The Institute, in collaboration with the State Bar of Michigan, also offers Michigan Law Online, a collection of Michigan caselaw back to 1942. This resource is free to Michigan Bar members.
