Required sponsor documentation has been forwarded to and credit requested from MCLE states with general requirements for all lawyers.  18.1 hours of credit, including 1 hour of ethics credit, have been requested from states that recognize a 60-minute credit hour and 21.8 hours, including 1.2 hours of ethics credit, from those states granting credit hours on a 50-minute basis (21.0 hours, including 1 hour of ethics credit, from NY state). 

Lawyers seeking credit in Pennsylvania must pay a fee of $1.50 per credit hour directly to the PA CLE Board.  The ABA pays applicable fees in other states where the sponsor is required to do so.  In states where a late fee may become applicable, the ABA pays this fee as well. 

Please be aware that each state has its own rules and regulations including its definition of CLE as well as “Ethics.”  Therefore, certain programs may not receive credit in some states.  Please check with your state agency for confirmation of general as well as ethics approval for any program. 

You may contact the ABA Service Center at (800) 285-2221 or Mary Karounos at (202) 662-8676 for confirmation of the number of CLE credit hours requested by the ABA or credit approved by any particular state.  For any other questions concerning MCLE, please refer to the ABA web site.

This transitional CLE program has been approved for all New York licensed attorneys in accordance with the requirements of the New York CLE Board for NYMCLE.
