Accreditation and CLE Rules for Missouri
Missouri attorneys must complete 15 credits including 3 Ethics credits every year. Up to 6 of the required 15 credits may be satisfied through self-study formats and the remaining credits must be satisfied with a live format such as Live Webinars. Missouri attorneys may earn all 15 credits with the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education using a combination of our DVDs, Audio CDs, Online & iOS/Android App self-study formats and our Live Interactive Webinars.
Attorneys must self-report completion of CLE.
Newly-admitted and readmitted licensees are not required to satisfy the 15-hour CLE requirement during the reporting period in which they were licensed.
Under Rule 15, up to 6 of the required 15 hours may be satisfied through self-study. Self-study may not be reported to satisfy the ethics requirements of Rule 15, unless special authorization has been granted to a lawyer due to a hardship such as a physical disability that makes attendance at programs unreasonably difficult. Also, self-study is excluded from the determination of carryover credit. The Missouri Bar does not review or approve the specific materials that Missouri lawyers may report for self-study credit. Each Missouri lawyer may select the legal materials that enhance his or her professional competence.
