NEW! The Utah State Bar announced that lawyers that comply with the 2021 reporting period will be required to change from a two-year CLE reporting period to a one-year compliance cycle effective July 1, 2021.
Per The Rules Governing the Utah State Bar – Effective May 1, 2021, the new compliance cycle will follow a fiscal year period (July 1 through June 30) during which an active status lawyer admitted to practice in Utah is required to complete a minimum of 12 hours of Accredited CLE, including 1 hour of legal ethics and 1 hour of professionalism and civility. At least 6 hours must be live CLE, which may include any combination of the following: In-person CLE, Remote Group CLE (CLE sponsored or cosponsored by the Bar, that is presented from a location in Utah, via a live streaming audiovisual presentation, to another location in Utah were the lawyer is present), or Verified E-CLE, which is CLE presented via a computer program or over the Internet where active participation by the lawyer in the CLE is verified by responding to scenarios during the CLE or answering knowledge-based questions during or after the presentation of the CLE.
Coronavirus update: The Supreme Court of Utah issued an updated order suspending all requirements for live in-person CLE attendance for attorneys reporting in 2020 and 2021.
