Courses approved for CLE credit may produce accompanying resources such as handouts, outlines, powerpoints and other material provided through the course which can be useful as practice aids.

Minnesota Practice Series – The Minnesota Practice Series is a multi-volume set of titles written by practitioners which focus on the practice of law in Minnesota.
