MCLE Accreditation

The applications for MCLE credit are available on our website:

• Course Credit Application
• Teaching Credit Application
• Published Legal Writing Credit Application

Other MCLE forms are available on the MCLE Forms page.

The application fee is $75. Affinity Groups (an Idaho-based legal group organized to promote the common interests of certain members of the ISB) pay a reduced application fee of $20. No application fee is required for applications submitted by the Idaho Supreme Court, the Bar and its sections or district bar associations, the Idaho Law Foundation, Inc., or individual members of the Idaho State Bar. Application fees cannot be paid by credit card.

The $25 late fee is required for all applications received more than ninety (90) days after a course was completed. For attorneys, the ninety (90) days is based on the date the live or recorded course was completed. For course providers, the ninety (90) days is based on the date the live course was completed or the date the recording was made.

Idaho uses a 60-minute credit hour and credits are rounded to the nearest quarter-hour. No credit will be given for time spent in introductory remarks, coffee, and food breaks, business meetings, or other activities that do not involve educational aspects of the CLE activity; courses attended in preparation for, or prior to, admission to the practice of law; courses included in the curriculum of a college or university undergraduate degree program; or courses on marketing, client cultivation, general time management or stress reduction, computer training that is not specific to attorneys, general business topics, or vendor-sponsored activities designed solely to promote products or services.

Ethics credits may be granted for the following topics: Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct, professionalism and civility, client trust account administration, and legal malpractice prevention.

Accreditation in another state does not mean that a course will be automatically accredited in Idaho. Check here to see if the course has been approved for credit in Idaho. If the course has not been approved for CLE credit in Idaho, use our MCLE Application Form to apply for accreditation.

Idaho State Bar members who teach other attorneys at ISB approved courses may apply for teaching credit after the course is held.  To apply for credit, submit an Application for Teaching Credit along with a complete course schedule.  The course schedule must include the topics covered, a full, time breakdown for the course and must show what portions the attorney taught.  Allow 3-4 weeks for processing.
