Accreditation and CLE Rules for Florida
The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education is a Florida Bar Accredited CLE Sponsor (Sponsor # 0185716).
Florida attorneys must complete a minimum of 30 CLE credit hours every 3 years. Five of the 30 credit hours must be in approved "professional responsibility" programs which includes ethics, professionalism, substance abuse, and mental illness awareness programs, and 3 hours must be in approved technology programs. Attorneys must now also take a new 2 credit Professionalism course provided directly by the Florida Bar at no extra charge. We make this free professionalism course easily accessible within your account with us.
Florida attorneys can complete all 30 CLE Credit hours including 5 hours of professional responsibility and 3 hours of technology with our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, and iOS/Android App courses. Currently, the Florida Bar only offers online access to the 2 hour mandated professionalism course which we make accessible within your online account. Preapproved courses offered by the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education have been directly approved by The Florida Bar and come with unique Florida Bar course codes which enables easy and quick reporting. “Self-Report” courses come with prefilled forms for easy self-reporting to the FL Bar.
Each Florida attorney and FRP is assigned a 3 year compliance period that ends on the last day of their designated month. You can find your compliance date by logging into your Florida Bar Profile.
Florida Registered Paralegals (FRP’s) must complete a minimum of 30 hours of CLE every three years to maintain their status. Of the 30 hours, 5 hours must be in ethics or professionalism and three 3 hours must be in technology. FRP's can satisfy all 30 mandated continuing education hours with our preapproved DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, and iOS/Android App courses since they are directly approved by The Florida Bar.

About This Course
The underlying ethics of any given situation will always provoke deep thought and analysis. But where ethics and the law meet, seemingly standard subjects can become hot-button issues. The guidance offered by the Rules of Professional Conduct is therefore a critical area of study for any practicing attorney. This always-timely CLE course, presented by Peter Kurshan, Esq., will review court decisions and Ethics Committee opinions from the New York State Bar Association (State Bar), the New York County Lawyer’s Association (NYCLA) and the Association of the Bar of the City of New York (City Bar). The course will investigate a number of areas within the RPC’s including but not limited to
Conflicts
Informed consent
Limiting the scope of representation
Advertising
Fee sharing
The reporting of unethical conduct
