THE NEW YORK STATE BAR ASSOCIATION IS CERTIFIED BY THE NEW YORK STATE CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION BOARD AS AN ACCREDITED PROVIDER OF CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. New York attorneys admitted after October 1, 1997, are required to complete 32 credit hours during the first two years after  admission (16 hours each year):  3 credit hours in ethics, 6 credit hours in skills and 7 credit hours in practice management and/or professional practice. New York attorneys in practice beyond the first two years after admission must earn 24 credit hours per two-year biennial registration cycle with at least 4 of these credit hours in the area of ethics and professionalism IMPORTANT NOTICE—PARTIAL CREDIT FOR PROGRAM SEGMENTS NOT ALLOWED:  Attendees at CLE programs cannot get MCLE credit for a program segment (typically, a lecture or panel, of which there are usually several in a program) unless they are present for the entire segment.   Therefore, persons who arrive late, depart early, or are absent for any portion of the segment, will not receive credit for that segment.

Approved New York MCLE credits for each NYSBA spring program will be determined as the program agendas are prepared.
