CLE/CPD & Certification Credit

How to interpret the CLE note in each session’s description on the program schedule

This session is likely eligible (or is eligible) for CLE/CPD credit.

Based on title, description, and anticipated substance of the session, it will likely qualify for CLE/CPD credit in most jurisdictions.

Additionally:

To help you as you select sessions, the below types of programs are likely to qualify for credit in most jurisdictions:

• Skills: “How to … as a lawyer”;
• Substantive discussion of law;
• Specialty credits: Ethics, Elimination of Bias (EOB), Substance Use Disorders, Mental Health Issues, Diversity
  
  • Many jurisdictions have special requirements, but we are seeing more approvals of EOB, Diversity, and Wellness credits.

---

This session may be eligible for CLE/CPD credit.

The session’s description is still forthcoming or may still be edited to encompass additional aspects that would make it more likely to be eligible for credit.

Additionally:

As you select your sessions, please note that the below types of programs may qualify for credit (not guaranteed), since they have caveats:

• Law Practice Management: Legal Technology, Project Management, Office Systems, Billing
  
  • Must focus on specific skills lawyers need and the effect that the skills may have on the practice of law
• Soft Skills: Communication, Leadership, Time Management, Speaking Skills
  
  • Must be created specifically for and focused on application to a lawyer audience

---

This session is likely ineligible (or is not eligible) for CLE/CPD credit.

Based on the session’s current title, description, and anticipated substance, it is unlikely to qualify for CLE/CPD credit.

Additionally:

As you select your sessions, please note that the below types of programs are unlikely to qualify for credit:

• Marketing, Client Development, Career Development, Vendor Demos

What do the numbers on the CLE/CPD chart mean?

In the CLE/CPD chart, the total credits listed reflect the maximum number of credits an attendee can earn at CCU 2024, including the maximum ethics/specialty credits. On the chart, a note of "eligible" means that an attendee barred in that jurisdiction can receive CLE/CPD credit for that jurisdiction, but it is through jurisdictional reciprocity.

How do I calculate my credits?

• Each session's description includes a CLE eligibility note. Review the CLE eligibility notes for the sessions you plan to attend. Also refer to the CLE/CPD chart for the maximum number of general CLE credits and/or specialty credits your jurisdiction has approved CCU for.
• Pending session approval, in 60-minute states, every 60 minutes of instruction equals 1.0 credit. In 50-minute states, every 60 minutes of instruction equals 1.2 credits.
• For specific CLE-related questions, please contact cle-cpd@acc.com
  
  .

The meeting is done. How do I get my CLE/CPD credits (Certificate of Attendance)?

About 1-2 weeks following the end of the meeting, we will email all attendees with information about accessing their personal CLE/CPD Service Center, where they will be able to:

• confirm their contact details,
• confirm their jurisdiction(s),
• confirm the sessions they attended, and then
• download their Certificate of Attendance.

Didn't receive the email about confirming CLE/CPD credits?

We ask attendees to first check their spam/junk mail folders. The email sender will be ACC Education.

If you still can't find the email, please contact us and we will re-send you that information.

Questions about specific jurisdictions/states, or specific sessions? 

Please email cle-cpd@acc.com.

Do I need to send my confirmed credits to my state bar?
