Why Georgia Attorneys Must Complete CLE Hours

The State Bar of Georgia requires licensed attorneys to complete 12 hours of continuing legal education each year. These hours include one in Ethics, one in Professionalism, and three trial-related hours for attorneys who practice litigation. These requirements ensure that members of the bar remain competent, current, and committed to professional excellence.

Making Compliance Simple with Online Learning

Traditional classroom CLE can be time-consuming and inflexible. Modern CLE offers accredited on-demand video courses that meet Georgia’s requirements and can be completed anywhere, at any pace. Once a course is finished, a certificate of completion is emailed instantly and compliance is reported within 30 days.

Tips for Staying on Track Year-Round

  • Schedule small learning sessions throughout the year instead of waiting until December.

  • Keep your certificates organized by year and topic.

  • Revisit ethics and professionalism courses even after completion to refresh best practices.

By planning ahead and using an accessible online platform, Georgia attorneys can meet their annual CLE requirements efficiently and confidently.
