Alabama Continuing Legal Education (CLE)

Alabama’s mandatory continuing legal education rules are administered by the Alabama State Bar. Active lawyers must complete annual CLE (including ethics/professionalism credits as required) and report on the Bar’s schedule. Newly admitted lawyers may have a mandatory professionalism course and first-year reporting nuances.

Confirm current hour totals, online-credit caps, carryover, exemptions, and deficiency fees on the Alabama State Bar CLE pages before relying on secondary summaries. Related admission topics: Alabama hub, bar exam, reciprocity.
