[blindLaw] ABA CLE Verification Codes

I had a similar experience when taking the required professionalism course to be admitted to the DC bar. I was told at that time that the codes were imbeded into the production. I received a certificate after sending a brief summary of the covered material to my contact with the DC Bar. Part of my frustration with this process stemmed from the fact that it wasn't immediately obvious that the codes would be imbeded in this way, and the process for how to get an accommodation was not obvious. My understanding was that the DC Bar was going to do some work on this process, but I don't know if that ever actually occurred. 

All of this to say that these codes aren't limited to ABA programs. Maybe it is something the division should seek to address.

I was under the impression that the displayed code was added by the video platform afterward, not part of the actual presenters or original broadcast.  I haven't seen enough of these with codes to know if it is a common practice.

I e-mailed the moderator after the program, told them the situation and was sent the course certificate immediately after I completed the course evaluation. It would be better if they fixed the accessibility issue, but they were completely willing to work with me to get the credit.

The cost was $60, and you can complete them on-line. A 3 digit code is spoken twice during each 1 hour presentation, and you enter this code when the video finishes. I can send you their contact info if you are interested.
