Benefits of Contributing
Volunteering for ICLE is a great way to give back to the legal community and to gain exposure for yourself and your firm. ICLE’s products and services are widely used by thousands of practitioners. Check out this set of Top Tips in Ten Minutes to learn more about all of the benefits.

Ways to Contribute
There are numerous ways to contribute, large and small, and a range of time commitments associated with each contribution. Keep in mind that smaller contributions, such as forms, How-To Kits, or Top Tips in Ten Minutes, have much shorter production cycles than books or seminars. If you have an idea for content, ICLE staff would be happy to talk with you.

Contributor Qualifications
ICLE is looking for contributors with substantial expertise and practice experience in a particular subject area. We generally look for at least five years of experience but for some of our smaller or more specialized resources that may not be necessary. We welcome contributors with substantive expertise, great presentation skills, and prior writing/speaking experience.

Interested in becoming an ICLE contributor?
My involvement with ICLE has been rewarding both professionally and personally. The staff is knowledgeable and easy to work with. They understand how to structure programming and work with attorney contributors to ensure great content while respecting the busy schedules of the practitioners involved. I am always happy to have an opportunity to work on an ICLE event.
