Vermont attorneys who report their Minimum Continuing Legal Education this year on June 30, 2020 (in other words, attorneys in the 2018-2020 cycle), are affected by a temporary COVID-19 change. The current MCLE Rules require at least 20 hours of accredited programs. Normally, at least 10 of these hours must be "live" programs--the maximum for individual viewing of prerecorded programs is normally 10 hours. This limitation has been suspended for attorneys whose license renewal is due on June 30, 2020. This year, your full 20 credits can be satisfied with accredited self-study programs, such as those shown on this page.

(Vermont attorneys in the 2019-21 cycle--in other words, attorneys who report on June 30, 2021, are under the new MCLE rules which require 24 credits per two years, 12 of which must be live.)

In other words, if you report this year, you can get all of your required credits from the programs on this page. If you report next year, you can get up to twelve credits from the programs on this page, and you will need an additional 12 hours of "live" programs. Unlike some states, this year's deadlines have not been extended. The Vermont deadline for renewing an attorney license remains July 1.

All programs listed on this page have been accredited by the Vermont Continuing Legal Education Board.

For only $69, I will provide the following:

Free attendance at all of my programs, including the following:
- Ethics. This program was approved on May 8, 2020, for 4 ethics credits by the Vermont Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Board.
- My Introduction to American Law program. This program was approved on May 8, 2020, for 12 credits by the Vermont Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Board.
- Any of my Minnesota or Wisconsin Continuing Legal Education programs. While I have not applied for Vermont credit for all programs, you are free to take them and possibly apply for credit yourself.
- All additional programs I offer this year, although I will probably not be applying for Vermont credit.
Assistance with finding free approved courses from other providers to complete your 20 credits. Since I will probably not be able to provide all credits before June 30, I will assist you in locating additional free high-quality programs by other providers. Some of those courses are listed below. My programs will take care of all of your ethics credits, and most of your general credits. You will need an additional four credits, which you can select from the providers below. All of the listed programs have been approved for Vermont credit.
