The Thunder Are Back: Fit Your Oklahoma CLE Around Game Night

OKC opened the season by beating the Spurs, the team that ended last year's run. With 12 Oklahoma CLE hours due December 31, here's how to fit CLE around game night.

Five months ago, the Spurs ended the Thunder's season with a Game 7 win in OKC. This season's opening night rematch went the other way. Thunder beat San Antonio, the defending Western Conference champions, 116-104.

The Thunder are back. So is the stretch of the year when Oklahoma lawyers look up and realize December 31 is closer than it seemed.

Game night math

Oklahoma requires 12 hours of CLE every year, including 2 hours of ethics, and the year ends December 31. (Need the details? See our [Oklahoma MCLE requirements guide].) Our courses are on demand, broken into short chapters, and the player remembers where you stopped. That makes them easy to fit around a game:

Before tip-off. Start an hour before the game and you can finish a full credit hour (50 minutes) before the opening tip.
Halftime. Fifteen minutes is about one chapter.
The off nights. An 82-game season works out to three or four games a week. The other nights are open.

One thing we won't suggest: running a CLE in the background while the game is on. You certify that you completed the course, and the credit assumes you were actually watching. Pause the course, watch the fourth quarter, and come back to it. Both deserve your full attention.
