Practising Law Institute (PLI) is a non-profit continuing legal education (CLE) organization chartered by the Regents of the University of the State of New York.

Its programs are held in multiple locations including New York, California, Illinois, Washington, D.C., Georgia, Massachusetts, Texas, Pennsylvania, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

Programs are also offered in various formats, including live webcasts, MP3s, and on-demand videos, accessible through the PLI.edu website or PLI's mobile app.

It was able to take advantage of certain historical forces, including the New Deal and the federal regulation of business activity it inspired.

This new specialization in turn created a need for a new kind of continuing legal education, which we see in practice today.
