I noticed that my personal information on the CLE homepage contains the entries Completed hours and Hours to be completed. Do these represent the hours required for the State Bar or the hours required to renew my Strong Start policy?

These entries represent the hours completed for the current State Bar compliance period. They do not reflect the completed hours or hours required for the renewal of your Strong Start policy. For Strong Start policyholders the requirements are as follows:
The first year is 12 hours, the second year is 6 hours, and 4 hours for every year that follows. Remember, these hours must be completed through Lawyers’ Mutual CLE programs.

As a Strong Start Policyholder, I know I have to complete a certain number of Lawyers’ Mutual sponsored CLE hours, how many hours do I need for each year?

The first year is 12 hours, the second year is 6 hours, and 4 hours for every year that follows. Remember, these hours must be completed through Lawyers’ Mutual CLE programs.

Is it necessary to fax, e-mail or otherwise send in the certificates of completion that are generated when I complete online CLE activities?

No, we already have copies of these for our records. Those generated upon completion of online activities are provided for your own personal records.

Are there any limits as to how many times I can complete a live/online seminar and self-study?

No, you may complete a live/online seminar and self-study more than once in any given compliance period. However, you may only receive credit one time per compliance period.

I have completed MCLE courses with another provider. Can these be used to satisfy my strong start requirement as well as the state bar requirement?

While MCLE courses from any licensed provider may be used to satisfy the State Bar requirement, only those taken from Lawyers’ Mutual count towards renewal of your Strong Start policy.
