CLE Requirements: The Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board (PACLE) requires attorneys to complete 12 credits, including 2 ethics credits, every year. Reporting periods are assigned upon admission and are staggered through the year: Group I - May 1 through April 30; Group II - September 1 through August 31; Group III - January 1 through December 31. Consult your MyPACLE account to verify your reporting group. Attorneys are limited to 6 credits of distance learning per year. A maximum of 24 credits may be carried over to the next two compliance periods. Distance learning credits cannot be carried over. For additional information, please see the FAQ page on the PACLE website.

Coronavirus update: The Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board has updated distance learning guidance for 2022 and 2023: at least six (6) credits must be live-online or in-person/classroom, and only up to (6) credits may be completed through pre-recorded online courses. Only credits through live-online and in-person/classroom courses taken during this period may carry forward (up to two compliance periods). See guidance for 2021 compliance periods here. 

Completing Your Pennsylvania Requirements with PLI: PLI and SEC Institute's live seminars and co-sponsored locations (Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Mechanicsburg) qualify as "live" credit.
