Case Study: Washington State Bar Association achieves 24/7 global access to Continuing Legal Education with Limelight Networks

Leveraging Digital Media to Ensure Access to Continuing Legal Education for Washington State Legal Professionals Around the World

The Washington State Bar Association (WSBA), which licenses and regulates nearly 36,000 legal professionals, needed to ensure members worldwide could meet mandatory Continuing Legal Education (CLE) requirements. With 18% of members living outside Washington and many unable to attend live Seattle-based seminars, WSBA struggled with a fragmented, slow, multi-vendor workflow that caused long publishing delays and inconsistent viewing experiences.

WSBA consolidated its audio/video creation, delivery and storage on Limelight Orchestrate — an integrated video, content delivery and cloud storage platform — to provide a single, easy-to-use solution with global reach, mobile optimization and consistent UX. A pilot reached 600 members across six countries and 24 states with zero complaints; today WSBA maintains a growing library (200+ videos, ~600 audio files), streamlined workflows, lower costs and 24/7 access for members worldwide.
