Your CLE Requirements

Attorneys with active Nebraska licenses are required to complete 10 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) each year, beginning on January 1 of the year following admission to the NSBA.* Two of those 10 hours must be in the area of professional responsibility (ethics).** Up to five hours in the annual reporting period may be obtained through completion of distance-learning legal education classes.*** Other requirements and restrictions apply and are set forth in the Nebraska Supreme Court’s Mandatory Continuing Legal Education for Lawyers Rules.
