2024 Summer CLE Deadlines by State

Posted on 04/10/24 By Lorman Team

CLE is not standardized in the United States and, because of this, specific reporting requirements vary by state. Some require upwards of 120 credits per reporting period while other states do not enforce CLE at all. 

However, many states have standard CLE deadlines on June 30^th, July 31^st, or August 31^st.

In some states, CLE reporting periods depend on your assigned compliance group, the date your license was originally issued, or your birthdate — meaning your deadline could be as early as June or as late as August. 

Do you have CLE requirements to fulfill by this summer? See if your state has upcoming deadlines below.
