Footnotes

*A member who participates in an education activity outside of California may count that activity toward his or her compliance with the California education requirements without seeking California approval for the activity, provided that the activity is approved for continuing legal education credit by another state, the District of Columbia, any territory of the United States or any foreign jurisdiction which has MCLE requirements meeting standards adopted by the State Bar. The member may claim credit for the activity to the same extent as in the approving jurisdiction.

** Effective, July 1, 2004, credit will be available for nontraditional format courses (audiotape, videotape, online, video replay, etc.) only if the course is accredited by an approved jurisdiction and the sponsor of the course is able to independently verify an attorney’s completion of the course (for example, by use of an embedded code in an audiotape). Nontraditional format courses that “take place in New York” (that is, courses offered by provider organizations whose headquarters are located in New York State) must be accredited by the New York State CLE Board in order for an attorney to earn CLE credit for the course. For more information on New York's rules regarding approval of courses offered in a non-traditional format, visit New York's Approved Jurisdiction Policy.
