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.

Coronavirus update: The Minnesota Supreme Court has issued an order temporarily suspending the 15-hour cap on earning credits with on-demand programming for lawyers in category 3 effective March 18,2020. Minnesota attorneys in category 3 may now complete all 45 credits online with live webinars or on-demand programs.
