If you are a Minnesota attorney in CLE category 3 (in other words, you need to finish your CLE this year), you may now take all of your 45 CLE credits using on-demand programs. The CLE rules normally impose a 15 hour cap on such programs (and that cap remains in effect of attorneys who report in future years). But due to the coronavirus emergency, on March 18, the Minnesota Supreme Court waived this requirement for attorneys who report this year.
This is a great help to Minnesota attorneys, since it makes it much easier and less expensive to complete your CLE requirement. Even if you still need all 45 credits, you can complete all of them for only $89. I'm offering the options shown below.
In addition, even though the Minnesota deadline for attorneys in category 3 is June 30, 2020, the Board of Continuing Legal Education has one again granted an automatic extension until August 31. The following notice is on the Board's website.
If you have not met your CLE requirements by June 30, 2020, you may attend courses and complete CLE requirements between July 1, 2020 and August 31, 2020 without requesting a formal extension from the Board. But you must report your CLE compliance by August 31, 2020.
August 31 is also the date by which you must report your attendance. This means that if you take courses in late August, you should make sure that those courses have already been approved for credit. If you take a program in July and credit has been applied for, it will probably be approved in time. But if you take a course in late August and it hasn't been approved, it might not be approved in time for you to report on August 31.
If you don't complete your CLE by August 31, you will need to request an extension, and also pay a late fee. As always, if you have questions about CLE compliance, please contact me at clem.law@usa.net or call me at 612-378-7751.
Wisconsin-New York
Wisconsin attorneys may use up to 10 credits of on-demand programs. Since New York has reciprocity with Wisconsin, these programs may also be taken for New York credit. The following programs are approved in Wisconsin:
Iowa
On March 24, 2014, the Iowa Supreme Court amended the Iowa CLE rules to allow Iowa attorneys to receive up to six of their required 15 credits each year with "unmoderated programs." For more information, you can view the Supreme Court's Order or the Iowa CLE Commission's Guidelines.
The following course meets the new Iowa guidelines. You may take this programs at any time that is convenient for you. You can listen online or download the program to your computer or other device.
I have available podcasts of previous CLE programs. These are eligible for self-study CLE credit in some states. You are also welcome to listen to the programs and download the materials, free of charge, in states in which CLE credit is not avaialable. These programs were previously approved for Wisconsin on-demand CLE credit, but this approval is valid only during the calendar year in which the program was presented, and all of these programs were presented in 2010.
The following programs are eligible for self-study CLE credits in some states. For more information, click on the name of the particular state at the bottom of this page.
