The New York State Bar Association Continuing Legal Education Programs

NYSBA CLE Provides:  

• The best CLE programs and written materials, presented by leading experts
• More New York-specific CLE instruction in more locations around the state than any other CLE provider
• Over 225 programs each year, on a wide range of topics and at varied levels—basic, intermediate, and advanced
• The most extensive practical skills series for recently-admitted attorneys in New York
• All programs fully MCLE-accredited in New York and virtually so in all other states (some states do not recognize law practice management programs for credit, but all of our programs on other topics are MCLE-accredited in such states)
• Discounts of up to 30% for NYSBA members 

Newly admitted attorneys are not permitted to earn MCLE credits through nontraditional CLE course formats, e.g, audiotape, videotape, CD, DVD, or CLE Online, without prior permission from the CLE Board. Those based in law offices outside the United States, however, may earn up to a maximum of 12 credit hours in any one reporting cycle through nontraditional course formats without prior permission from the CLE Board.
