Resources for Additional Credits

The following information will help if your MCLE reporting period ended and you still need additional credits. If you still have any questions about your MCLE compliance, please contact the MCLE Department at (208) 334-4500.


Requesting an Extension

You can receive an extension from January 1st until March 1st to complete your MCLE requirements by paying the $100 MCLE extension fee. You can pay the fee online, here, or by submitting a check along with an informal request to the Idaho State Bar. The final licensing deadline is March 1st.

If you have applications pending for courses taken before December 31st, you do not have to pay for an extension. The extension request and fee are required only if you take courses in January/February to complete the previous reporting period’s requirements. 

Note:  If you request an MCLE extension, the rest of your licensing must still be physically received in the Idaho State Bar office by the February 1st licensing deadline to avoid the licensing late fee. 

Course Accreditation

All courses on your certificate of compliance must be approved for continuing legal education (CLE) credit by the Idaho State Bar.  If you are not sure whether or not a course has been approved, use the Approved Courses Search page to check the list of approved courses. Approval in another state does not necessarily mean the course is approved for CLE credit in Idaho.

If the course you attended is not approved, apply for accreditation using our online form.

For more information on applying for course accreditation, visit our MCLE Accreditation page.

Online Courses

Utilize our convenient on-demand platform where you can instantly stream pre-approved Online Courses. These streaming video/audio courses are available and can be accessed at any time, day or night.

Note:  Do not take an online course if you already completed the live version of the course.  You cannot get credit for the same course multiple times. Keep in mind the 15-credit limit on self-study programming.

Live Course

Live CLE programs include in-person courses, live webcasts and live teleconferences. Search for upcoming live CLE programs that have been approved for CLE credit in Idaho HERE.
