CLE Requirements for NYSCLEB

Most Attorneys in various US States require Continuing Legal Education to maintain their professional designation. Browse courses that meet your requirements, or choose one of our course packages, specially curated to contain all the hours and credits you need, in one place. The courses on LearnFormula may be counted towards professionally relevant, verifiable learning activities. It is the student's responsibility to validate whether an activity is an eligible educational activity for their professional development requirements based on their own learning needs.

Simplifying Regulations for 2026

Experienced attorneys must complete a minimum of 24 accredited CLE credit hours during each biennial reporting cycle (the two-year period between your attorney registrations).
  • At least 4 of these 24 credit hours must be in the Ethics and Professionalism category
  • At least 1 of the remaining 20 credit hours must be in the Diversity, Inclusion and Elimination of Bias category.
  • At least one credit hour must be in cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection.


Newly-admitted attorneys  must earn a total of 32 CLE credit hours (with 16 credit hours each year) during the two-year newly admitted cycle.
  • At least 7 of these 16 credit hours per year must be in Law Practice Management, Areas of Professional Practice, and/or Cybersecurity, Privacy and/or Data Protection-General.
  • At least 6 must be in the 'Skills' Credit Category.
  • At least 3 must be in the 'Ethics and Professionalism' credit category.
  • You must complete at least 1 credit in Cybersecurity as part of the 32-credit requirement in either Year 1 or Year 2 as part of the 16 credit-requirement for that year in either Cybersecurity General or Cybersecurity Ethics (or a combination of the two).
  • Courses in each credit category must be taken in a suitable format: either in the traditional live setting, via fully interactive video conference, or via simultaneous transmission with synchronous interactivity where questions are allowed during the program.
  • Courses must also be 'transitional', designed to enable attorneys to develop a foundation in the practical skills, techniques, and procedures that are essential to the practice of law.
  • LearnFormula has confirmed directly with the New York State Continuing Legal Education Board (as of July 28th, 2023) that its online transitional courses qualify as "simultaneous transmission with synchronous interactivity" in format (via participation monitoring and a Q&A function), and so may be taken by newly admitted attorneys to satisfy their CLE requirements in any of the relevant credit categories.
