NH Minimum Continuing Legal Education
NHMCLE
To assist the Supreme Court with effective and efficient application of Supreme Court Rule 53, administration of the NHMCLE program is based at the Bar Center and overseen by the court-appointed New Hampshire Minimum Continuing Legal Education Board. The NHMCLE program of the New Hampshire Supreme Court should not be confused with the New Hampshire Bar Association's Continuing Legal Education program.
This is the central location to review information about the annual CLE requirement in New Hampshire. Topics are listed in alphabetical order. Please scroll through the list to find the applications, explanations and forms you desire.

Plans for 2008 Filing of Required CLE Credits
Certificates of Compliance for 2008 will be mailed at the end of August. This report should show ALL your CLE courses completed between 7/1/07 through 6/30/08. Lawyers in "active" NHBA status will receive one of the following:
WHITE CERTIFICATES Lawyers who have completed their required credits by June 30, 2008 so that the courses appear on their Certificates will only have to review them for accuracy and completeness. No response is required unless corrections are necessary. Lawyers need to maintain their course file of attendance records for 2 years. All entries are subject to audit.
PINK CERTIFICATES will be sent to the lawyers whose Certificates indicate they have not met the requirement by June 30, 2008. These lawyers will have until October 1, 2008 to complete their credits AND RETURN their Certificates with their signature and copies of the course attendance records from their new, additional courses needed to reach compliance. Lawyers have to request that their attendance be reported to NHMCLE if they take courses from an Annual Sponsor (see the list), and check their online record to be sure the report has been made correctly. Sponsors have 30 days to report attendance. Lawyers who have not responded showing their compliance after October 1, 2008 will be assessed a $50 late filing fee.
BLUE CERTIFICATES will be sent to lawyers who are NOT subject to the CLE requirement for this compliance period, but will be in the following year. It will contain information about their online record that these lawyers will need to know for the upcoming compliance period (July 1-June 30).
