Ensure you keep up with your MCLE hours
In the state of California, all attorneys who are currently practicing must complete 25 hours of MCLE every three years. Fortunately, we offer 8 MCLE credits at our organization per year. During some of our courses, we'll cover:
- Legal ethics
- Competence issues
- Mental health awareness
We'll be sure to properly record your attendance so you get full credit.
The state bar requires
- Half of the 25 MCLE hours must be in activities approved for what are called participatory MCLE credit
- No more than 12.5 hours can be for self-study
- At least four hours of legal ethics
- At least one hour on competence issues
- At least one hour in an area called the Recognition and Elimination of Bias in the Legal Profession and Society
To learn more about the MCLE courses we offer, get in touch with a member of our organization today.
