MCLE CREDITS

IAHA is an Accredited MCLE Provider, which means that all of its educational programs earn attendees MCLE credits.


The Supreme Court of Illinois has established minimum continuing legal education ("MCLE") requirements for Illinois attorneys. In general, Illinois attorneys must obtain 20 MCLE credit hours, including at least four credit hours of professionalism, in the attorney's first two-year reporting period.  The first two-year reporting period is either July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2008 (last names begin A through M) or July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2009 (last names begin N through Z).  Then, for subsequent two-year reporting periods, the required MCLE credit hours eventually increase to 30 credit hours.  Attorneys admitted to practice on January 1, 2006 and thereafter must first fulfill the Basic Skills Course requirement within one year of admission to the Illinois bar.

Attorneys must maintain their own certificates of attendance and other proof of MCLE compliance.  At the end of the reporting period, attorneys must report to the MCLE Board whether they have complied with the MCLE Rules, have not complied with the MCLE Rules, or are exempt from the MCLE Rules.
