What is MCLE?
MCLE is the acronym for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education. In New South Wales all practising solicitors are required to complete ten (10) units of MCLE per annum. The MCLE year runs from 1 April 1 to 31 March the following year. The Law Society of NSW requires solicitors to maintain a record of their MCLE activities. An MCLE audit is conducted each year and practitioners may be required to submit details of their MCLE activities to establish proof of compliance with the Rules.
Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) is a program adopted in 1986 by the Supreme Court of New Mexico, Rule 18-101 NMRA, which establishes the minimum requirements for continuing legal education for all active members of the State Bar of New Mexico. • What is the purpose of the program? The primary purpose of the program is to assure that members of the New Mexico State Bar continue their legal education throughout the period of their active practice of law. • Who administers the MCLE program? The program is governed by the MCLE Board, consisting of nine voting members appointed by the New Mexico Supreme Court, a Supreme Court Justice as permanent liaison, the Executive Director of the State Bar of New Mexico, as an ex-officio, non-voting member, and a State Bar liaison, who is also non-voting. The program administration is conducted by staff employed by the MCLE Board. Credit filing fees, course review fees, and late compliance fees pay for the administration of the MCLE program.
