Simplifying Regulations for 2026

The Wisconsin Court System requires attorneys to complete 30 credits, including 3 legal ethics and professional responsibility credits, by December 31 every two years. All credits must be reported by February 1 of the following year. Attorneys are limited to 15 credits of repeated, on-demand programs per reporting period. There are 2 compliance groups: attorneys admitted in an even-numbered year report in even-numbered years; attorneys admitted in an odd-numbered year report in odd-numbered years. A maximum of 15 credits may be carried over to the next compliance period. Legal ethics and professional responsibility credits are carried over as general credits. For additional information, please see the FAQ page on the Wisconsin Court System website.
