National Academy of Continuing Legal Education is an accredited sponsor of CLE across the United States. Attorneys licensed in Connecticut may earn all 12 credit hours through NACLE using our DVDs, Audio CDs, Online & iOS/Android App formats. NACLE’s courses have been approved in other CLE jurisdictions and therefore are automatically approved in Connecticut – see Practice Book §2-27A(b)(1) and (c)(6).

Connecticut attorneys are required to take 12 credit hours every year including 2 credit hours of Ethics. The reporting cycle is from January 1st through December 31st and each member must certify compliance by January 31st.

Connecticut attorneys can earn all 12 CLE credit hours with us using our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, and iOS/Android App courses.

Connecticut attorneys may carry over up to two credit hours of excess MCLE from the current calendar year to the next calendar year’s total.

Newly admitted attorneys have to comply with the CLE requirements in the calendar year following their admission or certification. For example, lawyers admitted in 2022 do not have to take courses for MCLE credit until 2023. They will report that they have completed the hours when they register in 2024.
