NACUA Educational Programs

Annual Conference

The NACUA Annual Conference is the most popular program offered by NACUA, attracting hundreds of higher education attorneys each year. Held in June, the Conference focuses on current issues and legal developments in the field of higher education law. Plenary sessions address challenges in the field, while panel and small discussion sessions focus on specific issues of importance to higher education lawyers and their institutions. The Conference also affords attorneys the opportunity to share formal and informal insights and expertise with colleagues from across the country, and provides an abundance of networking opportunities. NACUA member attorneys are given a significant discount on registration fees.

NACUA Continuing Legal Education Workshops

NACUA Continuing Legal Education Workshops NACUA offers a variety of continuing legal education (CLE) workshops each year. Programs are held in different locations to facilitate member attendance. NACUA workshops provide up-to-date legal information from practitioners with real “hands-on” experience, and – equally important – give attorneys the critical opportunity to interact with colleagues who share their challenges and concerns. Like the Annual Conference, NACUA member attorneys are given a significant discount on registration fees.

NACUA Online Courses

NACUA’s online courses give participants in-depth coverage of important issues in the practice of higher education law. Each course features PowerPoint presentations narrated by leading higher education law experts (like a series of pre-recorded virtual seminars), extensive course materials, self-assessments, a course discussion board and instructor-led conference calls.

Virtual Seminars

NACUA offers a series of “virtual” education programming to complement the traditional CLE Workshop and Annual Conference programs. NACUA’s Virtual Seminars are programs in which members participate without leaving their office. Registrants listen to the speaker(s) over the phone while following a PowerPoint presentation over the web. These programs touch on “hot topic” issues in a timely and effective manner and are designed to appeal to both attorneys and their clients (administrators, faculty, other staff).
