Mandatory CLE Credits
States have varying credit requirements; individual
attorneys are responsible for checking with their
particular state CLE accreditation authority about
whether and how much credit will be granted.
MCLE does regularly submit to Rhode Island and Maine.
Although MCLE does not pursue state-based credit
(outside of Rhode Island and Maine), our programs are
regularly approved in many jurisdictions; it is the
responsibility of the individual attorney interested in CLE
credit to submit the information and certifications
required under the respective state rule to the appropriate
state authorities in the jurisdictions in which they seek
credit. MCLE live webcast programs do, however, feature
periodic attendance prompts.
New Law Discounts
For the first five years of practice, MCLE offers new lawyers a 50% discount on a wide variety of MCLE
products, including the MCLE OnlinePass. If you were admitted to the bar within the last five years, take advantage of the new lawyer
pricing listed throughout this website.
Attorney Scholarships
No lawyer should be precluded from participating in CLE due to financial barriers. Request a partial tuition
scholarship in confidence by emailing
scholarships@mcle.org
at least two weeks in advance of the program.
