Below you will find a summary of reciprocal/automatic provisions for Mandatory/Minimum Continuing Legal Education. Please also refer as needed to the information provided by your State’s Bar, and particularly with regard to “carry over” credits, as rules vary.

Alaska

Reciprocity: Yes

Alaska Bar members may claim credit for attendance at CLE programs offered in or from other states if the program has been accredited by another MCLE jurisdiction.

Arizona

Reciprocity: Yes (since the State does not accredit programs)

The State Bar of Arizona does not accredit programs for the MCLE requirement. The Rules and Regulations are predicated on the assumption that attorneys can evaluate CLE activities offered based on the guidelines and report their activities by affidavit.

Arkansas

Reciprocity: Yes

Upon receipt of a completed certificate of attendance form confirming attendance at an out-of-state Continuing Legal Education program approved by the situs state, the attorney shall be entitled to CLE credits in Arkansas.

California

Reciprocity: Yes

A California attorney can claim California MCLE credit for education activities attended/taken outside California, provided that: the attorney is outside California when attending/taking the activity, the activity is the type of activity that can be approved for California MCLE credit, and the activity is approved by an Approved Jurisdiction which includes all states EXCEPT Alaska, Hawaii and Nebraska. And for activity approved in international jurisdictions including England and Wales, Hong Kong, Victoria-Australia, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Colorado

Reciprocity: Yes

Submit a Colorado Affidavit form or the “Uniform Certificate of Attendance” provided by the sponsor along with a statement certifying that the CLE program is accredited in another mandatory CLE state.

Hawaii

Reciprocity: Yes

Hawaii bar attorneys may claim MCPE or VCLE credit for CLE activities attended outside Hawaii provided that: The member is outside Hawaii when attending the live in-person course. Electronic alternate format courses taken in Hawaii regardless of where the course or activity originates must be approved for credit by the Hawaii State Board of CLE; The course or activity is the type of course or activity that could be approved for MCPE or VCLE credit by the Hawaii State Board of CLE; and the course is approved by an approved jurisdiction which includes all states except Nebraska. Or, approved by the following international jurisdictions: England and Wales, Guam, Hong Kong, Victoria-Australia, U.S. Virgin Islands.

Maine

Reciprocity: Yes

Credit hours for activities approved by another MCLE state will be accepted for identical credit by the Board of Overseers of the Bar in Maine upon the Board’s receipt of evidence of such certification as issued by that state.

Montana

Reciprocity: Yes

Montana will honor the approval given by other CLE jurisdictions, so if a seminar has been approved for CLE credit in the state in which it is held, there is no need to apply for approval of CLE credit in Montana. Simply attach documentation of the other state’s approval to your affidavit at the end of the reporting year.

New Jersey

Reciprocity: Yes

New Jersey attorneys who are taking courses approved for CLE by another state will receive 1:1 credit for courses approved in that jurisdiction through reciprocity. This includes courses held in NJ and accredited only in another state.

New York

Reciprocity: Yes

NY attorneys attending Florida-accredited courses (Group B for reciprocity purposes) must retain written materials provided for the Program as evidence of the provision of written material of compliant quality being distributed on the course. Like Florida, NY is a 50-minute–hour State for MCLE purposes. The rule is set out at: http://ww2.nycourts.gov/
(MCLE London is “Group B” for this purpose)

North Dakota

Reciprocity: Yes

Policy 1.14: Out-of-State Courses. Courses sponsored by state bar associations are presumptively approved, as are courses approved by a CLE body of a state with mandatory CLE.

Wisconsin

Reciprocity: Yes

Except for repeated on-demand programs as defined in SCR 31.01(6m), self-study courses as defined in CLE 1.02, and courses explicitly disapproved in Wisconsin, courses approved for CLE credit by, and attended in, any other state are deemed approved for the same number of hours and for the same purposes in Wisconsin.
