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 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. 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.
Missouri attorneys may carry over up to 15 credits from one cycle to the next. However, self-study courses are excluded from the determination of carryover credit.
