Get CLE When You Want It
North Carolina lawyers must take 12 hours of accredited CLE each year.
Of these 12 hours, two must be in the area of professional responsibility or professionalism or any combination thereof. Effective in 2019, at least one hour shall be devoted to technology training. If a lawyer takes more than the required 12 hours in a calendar year, up to two additional hours of professional responsibility and up to ten additional hours of general education may be carried over to the next calendar year. There is no provision to carry hours over multiple years.
At least once every three calendar years, each lawyer must complete an additional hour of professional responsibility devoted exclusively to instruction in substance abuse awareness or debilitating mental conditions, and a lawyer’s professional responsibilities.
Lawyers licensed before July 1 are subject to all CLE requirements for that calendar year. Lawyers licensed on or after July 1 of any year do not have CLE requirements until the next calendar year.
Lawyers may take all of their CLE hours on-demand. The 6-hour cap for on-demand programs has been eliminated.
For more information, here are the NC State Bar regulations.
