Mandatory CLE Credits
States have varying credit requirements; individual attorneys are responsible for checking with their particular state CLE accreditation
authority about whether and how much credit will be granted. MCLE does regularly submit to Rhode Island and Maine (upon request).
Although MCLE does not pursue state-based credit (outside of Rhode Island and Maine), our programs are regularly approved in many jurisdictions;
it is the responsibility of the individual attorney interested in CLE credit to submit the information and certifications required under the
respective state rule to the appropriate state authorities in the jurisdictions in which they seek credit. MCLE live webcast programs do,
however, feature periodic attendance prompts.
If Your Plans Change
With the exception of in-person only workshops and off-site programs, all MCLE programs are recorded. Accordingly, your
tuition includes access to a comprehensive eprogram page where you can access all written materials, the on demand
webcast, audio recording, and transcript--in full satisfaction of the tuition paid.
If you prefer a refund, contact us by the end of the business day prior to the program and we'll refund your tuition minus a
processing fee of $40 (or $100 for limited enrollment programs).
