CUA Alum Helps Attorneys Keep Licenses with Internet-based Service On January 1, 2001, Maine became the 40th state to mandate that its attorneys earn continuing legal education credit (CLE) to maintain "good-standing" status with their bar. Many attorneys subject to CLE  requirements do not have the time to keep up with changing education rules or how and where to get the credits they need. These facts inspired attorneys Jason Shrensky and CUA law school alumni, Michael Michetti, '97, to start a new Internet-based service called Reqwired, Inc. that provides a simple solution for attorneys.
Reqwired's Website, www.reqwired.com, supplies attorneys with an online tool for tracking their CLE credits and locating educational offerings which will satisfy outstanding requirements. Simply put, the attorney logs on to the Website and answers a few simple registration and jurisdictional questions. Then, for each jurisdiction in which the attorney is licensed, the system creates a customized status report, which informs the attorney of CLE credit needs and deadlines. "Our system tracks every detail affecting an attorney's compliance with applicable CLE requirements," says Michetti, who decided to stop practicing law to join forces with Shrensky, as director of business development, "and our propriety CLE tracking system is updated monthly to ensure accuracy." The system also creates a "customized course" page containing specific courses listed in Reqwired's database that meet the attorney's particular CLE need and preferences.
Most importantly, Reqwired's service reaches beyond the Web and into attorneys' e-mail in-boxes. "Because attorneys are not proactive about their continuing education, we e-mail our registered attorneys once a month with information concerning their CLE status and a customized list of educational opportunities," notes Michetti.
While attorneys have been attracted to the convenience of Reqwired's service, they are ecstatic over the price - free! Reqwired's goal is to become the nation's clearinghouse for continuing education courses, and the company offers special services to law firms and bar associations that wish to track the CLE status of their employees or members. The company also has plans to expand its services to other professions with the continuing education requirements such as accountancy, medicine, real estate and insurance.
