CLE
Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Presentations
Attorneys keep up with changing laws through Continuing Legal Education seminars. All attorneys in Tennessee, with few exceptions, must obtain 12 hours of CLE general credits, and 3 hours of Ethical topic credits annually to maintain their license to practice law. These seminars bring attention to detailed aspects of the law and law practice and all changes that occur to existing law through legislative enactments. Our Bar Association members, in addition to attending seminars throughout the year that qualify for credits (one hour of programming equals one credit hour), get to hear qualified presenters at Bar Association meetings where CLE qualified programs are presented for credits. All such programs must be approved in advance by the Tennessee Commission on Continuing Legal Education as qualifying in content for the earning of credits.
