What is MCLE?
With a few exceptions, all attorneys who are actively practicing law in California must complete ongoing legal training referred to as Minimum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE). The State Bar establishes and monitors compliance with the MCLE requirements for California licensees. Currently, attorneys are required to complete 25 hours of MCLE every three years. These hours must include education in legal ethics, competence issues, and elimination of bias. Soma has provided MCLE training to attorneys at the following presentations.
