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.


NOTICES

SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE for Help Locating Your Online Record, Forms and Additional Resources 
Lawyers who have NOT responded to their pink Certificates of Compliance now owe a $150 late filing fee when they file their completed CLE credits. Instructions to respond are in paragraph 2 on the reverse side of the pink Certificate. If you do not have attendance records for the courses you completed, contact the sponsor to request a duplicate for your records. You are required to maintain these files for 3 years, per SC Rule 53.

LATE FILING FEES
On Jan 5, 2010, the late fee increases to $250.
On Feb 1, 2010, the late fee increases to $350.
On Mar 1, 2010, the late fee increases to $450.

PINK CERTIFICATES have been sent to lawyers NOT in compliance by June 30, 2009. These lawyers have to read the reverse side of their Certificates for instructions to show their compliance and respond before October 1, 2009 to avoid late filing fees. Those who miss the deadline or file incomplete responses will be assessed the $50 late filing fee. Continued non- compliance results in additional late fees and a request to the NH Supreme Court for the lawyer's suspension from practice.

To access your online CLE record
If you have never used the For Members area of the Web site and do not know your username and password, send an email request to login@nhbar.org and indicate "member login" in the subject field and a response will be sent as soon as possible after verifying your member status. Log into the For Members area, then select NHMCLE Attorney Records from the list of links on the For Members page.  Select  “Attendance” at the top of the page and you will see your individual course credits on the page entitle, "Course Attendance Detail."
 
You may request revisions to credit hours listed online by clicking on the ? next to the course title, explain the problem in the email that is automatically generated and sending it to the NHMCLE Office.  The email already contains the course information.
 
Annual Sponsors have 30 days to post attendance for courses you have completed. If you do not see your attendance posted after that time, please contact the sponsor to request that they report it. If you have other questions about your online record, please email your name, NHBA ID number and questions to Lee Jones of the NHMCLE Office at mcle@nhbar.org.
A Reminder to All Lawyers Who Are Taking CLE Programs: You cannot add courses to your online record.  Check your online record 30 days after you request that your attendance be reported to be sure the Annual Sponsor has made it.  If you take courses not presented by an Annual Sponsor, please submit the Attorney Credit Application Form with attachments within 30 days of course completion to have the course entered into your record, keeping it up to date as the compliance year progresses. See the list of Annual Sponsors below.
 SC Rule 53 specifies that lawyers are required to maintain a file of their CLE course attendance records for 2 (two) years following compliance and these records have to be available. All course entries in their online records are subject to the annual audit.  If records are missing, request duplicates from program sponsors.
