Information about Proposed MCLE Credit Changes
Before the Supreme Court now are proposed changes to MCLE credits. If approved, MCLE credits would be broadened to include:
- Practice Development
- Work life balance and stress reduction
- Leadership Development
In addition, at the April Board of Governors meeting the board approved a charter for a new Task Force that will be looking at our mandatory CLE requirements. The Task Force will review MCLE rules and regulations and determine whether they reflect current approaches to learning and teaching and are meeting the needs of today’s lawyers. The Board of Governors will soon be making appointments to that group.
