MCLE
Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE)
45 states have adopted mandatory or minimum continuing legal education (MCLE) rules and regulations (three hours of Continuing Professional Education per year in Hawaii) that require attorneys to take courses and satisfy a defined number of credit hours per year or reporting cycle in order to maintain their license to practice law.
The following states do NOT have an MCLE requirement: Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan and South Dakota. Neither does the District of Columbia.
