Mandatory Continuing Legal Education


The Committee on Mandatory Continuing Legal Education was created by the Louisiana Supreme Court to administer a compliance program designed to foster attorney competence, ethical and professional behavior through education.

2024 CLE Compliance

The MCLE Compliance Deadline is December 31st, 2024.
Your transcript is available to review at any time. Compliance deadline email reminders will be sent periodically throughout the calendar year from compliance@lsbamembership.com. The deadline for earning credits is December 31, 2024, and the deadline for filing those credits or an exemption is January 31, 2025.  Please check your records to be sure you are compliant. 

For the 2024 compliance period ending December 31, 2024, the limitation for computer-based CLE is set at 4 hours annually (as defined in Rule 3(d) of LASC Rule XXX).  This includes interactive live webcasts, webinars, and on-demand recordings.

If you are experiencing undue hardship, you should contact the MCLE Director, Mindi Hunter, about your mitigating circumstances. An attorney experiencing serious medical or other issues may qualify for a waiver or some degree of relevant assistance to help reach the compliance requirement for the year.

If you choose to take a course that is not already approved for LA CLE credit, there is no guarantee it will be approved for LA credit. Please be sure that the sponsor of the course is able to verify your attendance.

2023 CLE Compliance

For the 2023 compliance period which ended December 31, 2023, the limitation for computer-based CLE was set at 4 hours annually (as defined in Rule 3(d) of LASC Rule XXX).  This includes interactive live webcasts, webinars, and on-demand recordings.

If you did not meet the deadline for earning credits by December 31, 2023, and the deadline for filing those credits or an exemption by January 31, 2024, please check your transcript records and contact the MCLE department to rectify your noncompliance as soon as possible.
