Supreme Court Rule 53 -
NH Minimum Continuing Legal Education (NHMCLE)

• 12 hours (minimum) of NHMCLE-approved credit, including
• 6 hours of live programming

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.
