Note: If the table above indicates you must complete a proportional requirement, the total number of hours and hours of legal ethics are pro-rated. Legal ethics hours are part of (not in addition to) total required hours. [Rule 2.72] The special credit hours in detection/prevention of substance abuse and elimination of bias are not required, but any credits earned in those areas may be used to fulfill the general credit hour requirement.
In California, attorneys are responsible for keeping track of MCLE credit hours. Go to Compliance Information for recording keeping requirements.
Education activities completed prior to admittance may not be counted toward MCLE compliance. Credit may be claimed only for education activities taken on or after the first day of the month in which you are admitted (sworn in) to The State Bar of California. Additionally, there is no carry-forward of credit hours from one compliance period to the next. [Rule 2.72(D)]
