Louisiana CLE Requirements: The Louisiana Supreme Court Committee on Mandatory Continuing Legal Education requires attorneys to complete 12.5 credits, including 1 credit of ethics and 1 credit of professionalism, by December 31 every year. All credits must be reported by January 31 of the following year. Attorneys are limited to 4 credits of self-study per reporting period. A maximum of 8 general credits may be carried over to the next reporting period. No ethics credits may be carried over. For additional information, please see the Rules for Continuing Legal Education on the Louisiana Supreme Court Committee on Mandatory Continuing Legal Education website.

Coronavirus update: The Supreme Court of Louisiana previously issued an order that for mandatory continuing legal education compliance year 2020, the limitation on "self-study" credits (as defined in Rule 3(d) of Supreme Court Rule XXX) was increased to twelve and one half (12.5) hours annually. Louisiana-licensed attorneys were limited to 4 credits of self-study per reporting period.

The Louisiana Supreme Court had previously agreed to suspend the 4-hour limitation on the number of self-study credits that is found in Supreme Court Rule XXX, Rule 3(d) for members who are delinquent for the 2019 compliance only. Members who are currently delinquent for 2019 may now complete their CLE requirement through unlimited online continuing legal education credits. This allowance only applies to those members who are currently delinquent for 2019 and who become compliant by earning and reporting credits by the May 15, 2020 deadline.
