CLE Requirements: The Minnesota State Board of Continuing Legal Education requires attorneys to complete 45 credits, including 3 ethics and 2 elimination of bias credits, by June 30 every three years. All credits must be reported by August 31. Attorneys are limited to 15 on-demand credits per reporting period. There are three compliance groups assigned by name, staggered by year. Consult your attorney record to confirm your compliance period. No credits may be carried over to the next reporting period. For additional information, please see the FAQ page on the Minnesota State Board of Continuing Legal Education website.
Rule Change: The Minnesota Supreme Court amended Rules 6D and 9B(4) effective January 1, 2021 to permit lawyers to view and report up to 30 on-demand credits towards reporting periods ending after that date. Courses must be approved for credit prior to viewing per Rule 6D and must be viewed on or after January 1, 2021 if in excess of the 15 credits previously allowed under the Rules. The Court also advised that unless good cause is shown on or before September 30, 2023, the number of on-demand credits permitted will become unlimited as of January 1, 2024 for courses viewed and reported on or after that date. Live webinars continue to count as live courses and are not subject to the same limitations as on demand programs.
