The compliance requirement for newly admitted attorneys is 12.5 hours, including 8 hours of ethics, professionalism or law office management, which can be earned in the year of admission and the following calendar year.

Loyola CLE will also assist participants in obtaining credit for other states and for other professions. Please email clelaw@loyno.edu for instructions on obtaining the appropriate credit.

Reporting Attendance:

Louisiana: Each Louisiana attorney should complete and turn in an MCLE Attendance form while attending a CLE. Loyola will then submit the forms to the LSBA within 30 days of the activity. Please note that the LSBA will not accept attendance forms from an individual member.

Out-of-State: Out-of-state attendees should fill out a Uniform Certificate of Completion while in attendance at a CLE and submit it to their state's bar association.
