They're acting like you could expense an entire trip to Maldives if you take a CLE class there.

how much is the CLE program itself? these things are usually like $1500-2k no? if so, especially for a 2-3 day trip, debatable if the cost of the program is really worth the value of the tax deduction (remember you dont save the full amount... only your marginal rate)

Nah I never go to the for profit ones. I just go to the ones put on by bar associations. The Florida trial lawyers just ran a Breckenridge trip for $199 https://www.floridajusticeassociation.org/Shared_Content/Events/Event_Display.aspx?EventKey=2020SKI&WebsiteKey=35fd7c83-65b4-4ee0-b052-8c70e9ba99dd

The NACDL did aspen this year for $499. The good ones put on seminars from 7-9 am and then from 5-7 pm so that you can ski. In the morning everyone is in ski boots getting ready and having breakfast. In the afternoon it’s basically just apre ski with a little law

my FIL had his own medical practice run through some kind of entity (don't know if it was an S corp or something else), and he would often have "board meetings" with my MIL whenever they went on vacation so he could expense the trip. He would also do CME vacations just like you mentioned, although the CME would often be something like a 3 day conference so it is not all scam.
