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.
Georgia attorneys are required to take 18 credit hours every 2 years, including 3 credit hours of Ethics and 2 credit hours of Professionalism.
Georgia attorneys can earn all 18 CLE credit hours with us including 3 credit hours of Ethics and 2 credit hours 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 2 years. Georgia attorneys must return their annual report to the Commission by February 15th.
Georgia attorneys are permitted to carryover a maximum of 18 general credits, including 3 ethics credits, 2 professionalism 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 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.

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.
