As an LSIT soon to eligible to take the LS exam, continuing education is an aspect of holding a professional license for many years to come.  I feel that CE is important and should be utilized whether it is a requirement or not.  The problem I have found with CE is that the classes offered are not interesting or relative to daily practice.  It is rare when a seminar is offered that is worth the time and money.  Therefore if these classes are required I feel it should be the respective Boards obligation to provide the licensees with not only a list of approved courses, but also courses that will offer some real education.
