**The State Bar of California is implementing changes to the MCLE course requirements effective October 1, 2023. Beginning with the compliance period ending March 29, 2025, licensees will be required to also complete and report compliance on the following new subfields:
Technology in the Practice of Law (one credit)
Civility in the Legal Profession (one credit)
Competence (Increased from one credit to two)
California attorneys may earn all 25 hours with the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education. Our Online and iOS/Android App platforms are automatically deemed participatory and our Audio CDs, DVDs, USB Stick, and MP3/MP4 downloaded courses may also be taken in participatory form as well.
California MCLE rules do not allow carryover. Credit for participating in a CLE activity may not be earned forward from one compliance period to another.
Members are required to comply online under “My State Bar Profile” www.calbar.ca.gov by attesting under penalty of perjury that the member has complied with the education requirement or is exempt and the nature of the exemption.

About This Course
Traumatic and spinal disc injuries are among the most frequent and potentially significant, severe and catastrophic injuries suffered by plaintiffs in personal injury cases and petitioners in workers’ compensation cases. Representation of such clients requires not only the astute mind and skill of the trial lawyer, but it also requires knowledge of the medical aspects of such injuries to properly conduct a direct and cross examination of the medical witnesses. This course provides knowledge of the medical aspects and the utilization of such knowledge and provides an additional knowledge for the direct examination of treating physicians and, in particular, the cross examination of defense medical witnesses by medical literature.
