How to Register with Zoom
Log in to your Comedian of Law account
Click on "My Courses" in the left hand blue column

Fill out the short Zoom registration form and click on “Register” to complete

Important Information Regarding Registration
Do not wait until 2 minutes before the webinar to register with Zoom if possible, as you cannot log in until you get the email from Zoom and while email is usually instantaneous, we all know that isn’t always the case.
You must be watching the webinar in order to get credit. Most states accredit webinars differently than other formats and in order to get webinar credit, you must be watching, not just listening using the audio only link.
There will be poll questions every hour, as many states require them. If you don’t answer the poll question and your state requires them, we can’t award credit for that hour. The poll questions are NOT obscure, as Joel always announces them before he runs them, and he reads them out loud. If your state requires you answer them, please don’t miss them. Please note that you will not be able to answer poll questions if you are using an audio only link, which is another reason you need to be WATCHING (not just listening to audio only version) the video presentation.

How to Get Credit for the Webinar
All webinar certificates are created and emailed by a program, but we have to cross reference log in and log out times to be sure the program computed your time correctly and confirm you answered poll questions if required by your state. If there is an error in your certificate of attendance, please email Wendi Oster at info@comedianoflaw.com and we will issue a correction it needed.
You will receive your certificate of attendance within a week of the webinar and it will be sent to the email address you used when you registered with Zoom for the webinar.
Comedian of Law will report to all states that are provider report states. If your state is a self-reporting state, we will not report ( FL, IA or MO for example). Hours are usually reported right before or right after certificates of attendance are sent.
