Continuing Legal Education (CLE)

"Active attorneys and attorneys registered for corporate status must complete 24 hours of accredited CLE activities every two years" (Supreme Court of Ohio, 2021).  The lawyers' last name determines the reporting deadline.

Reporting Deadlines:

A-L must complete their educational hours by the end of each odd-numbered year;
And M-Z must complete their educational hours by the end of each even-numbered year.

"If an attorney's name changes after the attorney is admitted to the practice of law or registers for corporate status, the attorney remains in the same alphabetical grouping as assigned when first admitted the practice of law for all future reporting purposes" (Supreme Court of Ohio, 2021).

Annually, the Akron Bar Association provides more than 200 hours of local CLE courses.​ Akron Bar's CLEs showcases innovation, inspiration, and impact in the law while focusing on delivering the highest quality of legal education content.
