Substance Abuse CLE Adds New Lesson On Methamphetamines

Substance Abuse CLE provides quality and easily affordable continuing legal education classes that satisfy the MCLE requirement of the California Bar Association pertaining to the Prevention of Substance Abuse in the Legal Profession.

Substance Abuse CLE has just added a new lesson entitled An Attorney's Struggle With Methamphetamines. The purpose of this activity is to fulfill the California State Bar Rule 2.72 (A)(3) requirement by providing one hour of self-study credit in the prevention of substance abuse in the legal profession. Most lessons fulfilling this requirement provide generalized information on substance abuse, or are geared toward alcohol abuse and addiction. This new lesson focuses on facts about methamphetamine use and addiction by presenting a true case study about a California attorney’s struggle with methamphetamine addiction, the resulting misconduct, his resignation from the bar, and his recovery and petition for reinstatement to the bar.

This activity was approved by the California State Bar on July 16, 2010 for the period July 15, 2010 to July 14, 2012. The California State Bar provider number of Substance Abuse CLE is 15199.

Ohio Councilman Busted for Drunk Driving


A councilman from Findlay, Ohio, pleaded no contest to drunk driving and was ordered by the court to finish a 3-day driver education program in lieu of 3 days in the slammer. In addition, the councilman had to pay a $375 fine and $50 in court costs. The story is here and here.

The councilman’s drunken motoring occurred in June after he became intoxicated at a graduation party. He got behind the wheel of his car and was subsequently pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy. His blood alcohol level was 0.159. He later called his conduct “reprehensible.”
