Lawline.com and Wolters Kluwer’s CCH and Aspen Publishers to Tackle Financial Reform

One-year Anniversary of Lehman’s Fall, and President’s Call for Reform, Shine Spotlight on Need for Current, Comprehensive Information

(RIVERWOODS, ILL., September 14, 2009) − Lawline.com, a leading provider of Online Continuing Legal Education along with CCH and Aspen Publishers, part of Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, a leading provider of research products and software solutions in key legal specialty areas, have come together with a shared vision to provide timely high quality education to professionals in a rapidly fluctuating economic environment.

Since the fall of Lehman Brothers one year ago today, Lawline.com has seen a tremendous increase in the demand for its courses in both banking and securities law. As a response, it supplemented its programs in these practice areas to better serve the legal and financial community. Through the CCH Financial Crisis News Center, Lawline.com customers will be able to read about the most recent news and happenings affecting the financial community.

“The fallout from the financial crisis has been sweeping, and we realize now just how close the system came to collapse last year,” says David Schnurman, President of Lawline.com. “With President Obama addressing Wall Street and the nation today about the need for reform and strengthening oversight, we know it’s more important than ever to ensure we offer the best, most timely information. It just made sense for us to team with CCH and Aspen Publishers as they are the leaders in legal and financial information.”

Lawyers and other professionals will be able to link with special promotion codes to Lawline.com banking and securities courses through the CCH Financial Crisis News Center.

“Teaming with Lawline.com, a leading provider of online CLE course delivery, is another example of how CCH and Aspen customers can count on us to deliver the most valuable and specific tools and services to help in their day-to-day practice and career training,” said Steve Errick, Legal Education Managing Director, Wolters Kluwer Law & Business.

The courses will be available through the CCH Financial Crisis News Center web site starting this week. Topics include securities fraud, bankruptcy, SEC, lending regulations, foreclosures, among many others.
