Allocation of continuing legal education hours is never arbitrary. Instead, each 50 minute segment of actual instructional time constitutes 1.0 CLE hour.

Allocation of continuing legal education hours is never arbitrary. Instead, each 50 minute segment of actual instructional time constitutes 1.0 CLE hour. Instructional periods of less than 1 CLE hour are rounded down to the nearest half hour. Example: Minutes 9:00 to 9:15 Introduction & Welcome No credit 9:15 to 10:30 Instruction 75 minutes 10:30 to 10:40 Break No credit 10:40 to 12:00 Instruction 80 minutes 12:00 to 12:15 Question & Answer 15 minutes Total 170 minutes 170 minutes divided by 50 = 3.40 = 3.
