Pros and cons
Pros
- A 30 days money back period, longer than the 14-day median across course platforms
- Access lasts 12 months, so a yearly purchase covers a full credit cycle
- The catalogue holds 100 courses rather than the thin selection single subject sites offer
- Support runs on email, chat and phone, including phone and chat alongside email
- A team plan is available for firms covering several attorneys on one account
Cons
- Free tier is no, so there is no way to sample the catalogue before paying
- Offline download is no, and about 77.4% of comparable platforms do offer it
- Entry at $139 sits well above the €18.59 monthly price across course platforms
- The only certificate offered is completion, a record of finishing rather than a professional designation
Who it suits
- Attorneys and law students who need CLE credits each year
- Law firms covering credits for several attorneys on one account
- Paralegals and legal staff tracking their own development hours
Who should look elsewhere
- Learners wanting a free option before paying, where Hotmart lists entry at $0
- Anyone needing offline study, since offline download is no
- Readers shopping on entry price alone, as $139 runs above the €18.59 market median
Where it sits among rivals
On entry price, Law.com Scholar and CLE Center ranks at position 152 of the 220 brands compared, so the starting figure is not the cheapest in the group. The annual price tells a kinder story, ranking at position 55 of the 78 brands with a yearly figure. The refund window is the strongest of the three, at position 3 of 159. Read together, this is a platform that costs more to start and holds its price better once the annual plan is chosen.
Pricing
Pricing starts at $139 on the opening bundle, while the annual subscription is listed at $315. Treat those as two separate commitments rather than one figure. The entry price sets what a first commitment costs, and the annual figure is the one to plan against if credits are needed across a full cycle. The start price is not the running cost, so a buyer expecting to renew should budget from the annual figure rather than the lower opening number.
Free plan and trial
Free tier is no, so there is no permanent no cost version of the catalogue and no way to sample the legal subject coverage before paying. The refund window does the work a trial would otherwise do. Buyers get 30 days to decide whether the CLE selection fits their practice area, and anyone planning to renew should test that fit inside the window rather than assume the coverage is there.
What it does well
The catalogue is the main draw, with 100 courses under a single subscription and 12 months of access included, enough to cover a full credit cycle without buying twice. A team plan is available, which matters for firms where more than one attorney needs credits in the same year. Support is not the weak point either, running on email, chat and phone. Two limits are worth noting: free tier is no, and offline download is no, so study has to happen on a connected device. The refund window of 30 days is the fallback for anyone who wants to test the fit first.
Who runs it
The service is operated by ALM Global, LLC trading as Centellic, the entity named on the unlimited CLE offering. Support is the strongest part of the operation, with email, chat and phone all offered, covering email, chat, phone and a help centre. For a subscription that keeps running, a phone channel is worth more than an email queue. The same breadth matters at renewal, when a billing or access question has to be answered quickly rather than left in a folder.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Law.com Scholar and CLE Center cost to start?+
The entry point is the starting bundle at $139. That sits above the €18.59 median monthly price across comparable course platforms, so it reads as a premium entry rather than a budget one. Anyone who only needs a few credits should weigh the annual figure before paying.
What does the annual subscription cost?+
The annual plan is priced at $315, and the platform runs as a subscription rather than selling courses one at a time. Access lasts 12 months, which covers a full year of credit requirements in a single purchase. The annual figure ranks at position 55 of the 78 brands compared.
Is there a free tier or free trial?+
Free tier is no, so there is no permanent no cost version of the catalogue to sample first. The practical safeguard is the refund window of 30 days, which runs longer than the 14-day median window across course platforms. Treat that period as the trial and check subject coverage early.
What certificate do I get at the end of a course?+
The award is a completion certificate, and completion is the only certificate type on offer. It records that the course was finished rather than a professional designation in its own right. Bar credit runs through the CLE framework, so check how the completion record is reported to your jurisdiction.
How many CLE courses are in the catalogue?+
The catalogue holds 100 courses, all reached through the same subscription rather than bought separately. That breadth explains why entry sits at $139, above cheaper single subject sites. Practice areas with thin coverage elsewhere are more likely to appear in a list this wide.
Can I download courses for offline viewing?+
Offline download is no, so every session needs a live connection. Around 77.4% of comparable course platforms do allow offline access, which matters for anyone who travels or studies on commutes. Plan study time around a connection rather than downloading in advance.
Can my firm cover several attorneys on one account?+
A team plan is available, so a firm can cover several attorneys on one account rather than buying seats separately. That suits practices where more than one person needs credits each year. Entry is $139, and support runs on email, chat and phone for billing and access questions.
Who runs the platform and how do I get help?+
The service is run by ALM Global, LLC trading as Centellic, the entity named on the unlimited CLE offering. Support covers email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all available. A phone channel matters more on an annual subscription, where a billing or access problem needs a fast answer.
