David Schnurman is the founder of online CLE provider Lawline, as well as a television host and serial entrepreneur. Earlier this year, Lawline did one of the most terrifying things a CLE provider can: he opened the catalog for free online (in order to get certification and credit, users must pay after they have viewed the course). This new freemium business model may democratize legal education, while inducing lawyers to complete and pay for only the best CLE courses – without paying upfront.
