of the Chair & Vice Chair of the Board Report
On behalf of PLI’s Board of Trustees, we are pleased to report that in 2025 PLI continued to grow, thrive, and serve its community of over 475,000 Privileged Members. While increasing revenue by 5% over the previous year, the organization grew in the number of certificates issued (nearly 1.2 million, a 7% increase) as well as credits (2.5 million, up 7.7%). Thanks to careful planning and execution throughout PLI, this progress has taken place alongside great advancements in PLI’s five-year Strategic Plan. In 2025, strategic achievements included: A More Learner-Centric PLI.edu The launch of a completely redesigned website in early 2025 was the capstone to a series of projects to create a cohesive and accessible digital ecosystem for learners. Providing access in just one click to PLI’s thousands of hours of world-class content, the site incorporates personalization tools to allow users to easily find, follow, and launch programs relevant to their interests and credit needs. Read more about this major project and the many enhancements to the site on page 5. PLI continues to be the gold standard in continuing legal education and other training, offering more than 650 programs in 2025 available in person, streaming via live webcast, and on-demand. Whether meeting up for in-person training and networking opportunities, or catching up on a course from their desks or the PLI mobile app, program attendees enjoy a consistent experience that centers their learning. Elevating and Engaging Faculty These learning opportunities are made possible by more than 4,000 volunteer faculty. These experts, from across
the legal, corporate, academic, and nonprofit sectors, lend their time and considerable expertise to advance the profession, and PLI has invested in ways to strengthen ties and show appreciation. In 2025, PLI streamlined the way in which program organizers gather information from Program Chairs and speakers, launching PLI Engage, a web-based portal that centralizes deadlines, materials, checklists, FAQs, and resources. The organization also honored retiring faculty and authors at its second annual Contributor Appreciation Dinner. Strengthening PLI’s Pro Bono Commitment PLI presented its first Victor J. Rubino Award for Excellence in Pro Bono Training, recognizing longtime faculty member Toby J. Rothschild. This award was developed in honor of PLI’s late President, who did so much to build and sustain PLI’s pro bono outreach. We believe Vic would be proud to see that in 2025, the number of complimentary Pro Bono Memberships for qualified legal services organizations topped 900, along with 2,400 individual scholarships allowing access to essential training. PLI also reported an impressive 10% growth in pro bono usage in 2025. Among its new offerings, the pro bono team presented a successful in-person workshop on direct and cross-examination skills for legal services attorneys, and an on-demand, interactive program covered best practices for pro bono clinics. In this Report, you will see examples of PLI’s ongoing dedication to keeping learners ever current . We are proud to be part of an organization that continues to play such an essential role in educating the legal community.
