CLE Requirements

Louisiana attorneys are required, according to the Louisiana Supreme Court, to complete a minimum of 12.5 CLE hours annually, including 1.0 hour of ethics and 1.0 hour of professionalism.

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.

Please read Rule 3 from Rule XXX. Rules for Continuing Legal Education for more information.

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

Each Louisiana attorney should complete and turn in an MCLE Attendance form while attending a CLE. We 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 attendees should fill out a Uniform Certificate of Completion while in attendance at a CLE and submit it to their state's bar association.
