Minnesota attorneys are required to take 45 credit hours every 3 years including 3 credit hours of Ethics and Professionalism, with a minimum of 2 credits of Elimination of Bias.

Minnesota attorneys can earn all 45 CLE credit hours with us including 3 credit hours of Ethics and 2 credit hours of Elimination of Bias using our Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.

All Minnesota licensed attorneys are assigned to one of three reporting groups for CLE purposes. Attorneys can find their assigned reporting group in the upper left-hand corner of their wallet licenses.

• Category 1: July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 & July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2024
• Category 2: July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2022 & July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025
• Category 3: July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2023 & July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026

Attorneys cannot carry over credits into the next reporting period.

Effective January 1, 2024, there is no limit to the number of on-demand CLE credits a Minnesota lawyer may report towards their three-year reporting period. Approved courses viewed after January 1, 2024, towards the 2024 reporting period (or later) are not subject to a credit cap.

Beginning July 1, 2024, MN attorneys are required to take 1 credit in Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder. Compliance Group 1 (CLE due by 6/30/2024) is not required to complete this new credit type requirement until their new compliance period begins. Category 2 lawyers due to report in 2025 will be the first group of lawyers subject to this requirement.
