Online MCLE Training

Working to Improve the Lives of Nebraska's Children

The Through the Eyes of the Child Initiative is now an accredited sponsor of MCLE events. A number of our previous live trainings are or will soon be available for On Demand MCLE Credit. On Demand training opportunities allow you to view videos of the training sessions, access the corresponding training materials, interact with the trainers, and earn MCLE credits all on your computer and for a very low price.

Information for attorneys about the MCLE system can be found on their website. Additionally, they have posted a tutorial describing how to use the MCLE website.

*Trainings that are relevant to GAL practice will also be eligible for Advanced GAL credit. The MCLE office will be evaluating trainings for GAL relevance and will be granting Advanced GAL credit. If you have any questions about whether a program will be eligible for GAL, please contact MCLE (402.471.3137).

  • Children's Summit Presentations: (Minimum $5 per session)
    • Chief Justice Michael Heavican and the Through the Eyes of the Child Initiative hosted Nebraska's second statewide Children's Summit in September 2009. A follow-up to the 2006 Nebraska Children's Summit in Nebraska City, the 2009 Children's Summit was attended by over 400 professionals involved in the abuse/neglect court system, including all Nebraska judges with juvenile jurisdiction, Chief Justice Heavican, Governor Dave Heineman, Lt. Gov. Rick Sheehy and former ACYF Commissioner Joan Ohl. Participants voted on priorities for the Through the Eyes of the Child Initiative to focus on in upcoming years. The selected priorities are: (1) reduce the time to reunification (for reunified children), (2) improve systems effectiveness with parents with substance abuse issues, and (3) improve the use of parenting time to improve permanency.
