California

CLE Requirements: The State Bar of California requires attorneys to complete 25 credits, including 4 credits of legal ethics, 1 credit of competence issues, and 1 credit of elimination of bias, by January 31 every three years. There are three compliance groups, assigned by last name and staggered by year. All credits must be reported by February 1. No credits may be carried over to the next reporting period. For more information, please visit the FAQ page on the State Bar of California website.

Coronavirus update: The State Bar of California had previously announced that the Board of Trustees approved of a modified schedule that extended from June 30th to September 30th, 2020, as the final deadline for licensees in Compliance Group 3 (N-Z) to comply with their MCLE requirements or be administratively enrolled on Involuntary Inactive status.
