Accreditation and CLE Rules for Georgia
National Academy of CLE is a provider of CLE courses in Georgia, approved by the Georgia Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competency, sponsor #3730.
*Notice from GA Board on Continuing Legal Education: The Supreme Court of Georgia has permanently suspended the rule limiting the number of distance learning courses GA attorneys are allowed to take. Attorneys may now take All 12 CLE Credits with our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, and iOS/Android App courses. GA Supreme Court Notice
Georgia attorneys are required to take 12 credit hours every year including 1 credit hour of Ethics and 1 credit hour of Professionalism.
Georgia attorneys can earn all 12 CLE credit hours with us including 1 credit hour of Ethics and 1 credit hour of Professionalism using our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, and iOS/Android App courses.
Georgia attorneys must complete their continuing legal education requirements by December 31st every year. Georgia attorneys must return their annual report to the Commission by March 31st each year.
Georgia attorneys are permitted to carryover a maximum of 12 credits, including 2 ethics credits, 2 professionalism credits, and 3 trial credits, to the next reporting period.
*Effective January 1, 2026, the State Bar of Georgia will require active members to complete 18 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) every two years, increasing from the current 12 hours annually. Within these 18 hours, members—except those in the Georgia Transition Into Law Practice Program—must complete at least 3 hours in legal ethics and 2 hours in professionalism, with unused ethics and professionalism credits carryable up to the next biennial period but not beyond. Members may also carry over up to 18 unused general CLE hours to the following period.
CLE activities should relate to the member’s practice area or benefit their practice and clients. These changes shift CLE reporting to a biennial cycle with increased total requirements and specific minimums for ethics and professionalism. This new rule also eliminates the specific trial credits course requirement for Georgia trial attorneys. The CLE compliance deadline will be December 31st of every odd year. The first biennial compliance period begins January 1, 2026, and ends December 31, 2027.
There are no changes for the 2025 CLE requirement. The 2025 CLE deadline remains December 31, 2025.

About This Course
This CLE program will focus on issues related to the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, which is the only state law in the country that allows for a private right of action related to the mere collection and storage of biometric information. As a result, countless BIPA class action lawsuits have been filed in Illinois and elsewhere. The program will focus on unique issues facing BIPA and biometric privacy, including the use of fingerprints, retina scans, face scans, voice recognition and other biometric identifiers. These novel issues will be presented from a compliance and litigation perspective.
