Minnesota CLE Requirements

45 credit hours every 3 years

15 must be completed live
30 hours can be completed online, on-demand.

*Effective January 1, 2021, Rules 6D and 9B(4) were amended to permit lawyers to view and report up to 30 on-demand credits towards reporting periods ending after January 1, 2021. Courses must be approved for credit prior to viewing per Rule 6D and must be viewed on or after January 1, 2021, if in excess of the 15 credits previously allowed under the Rules.

The Court also advised that unless good cause is shown on or before September 30, 2023, the number of on-demand credits permitted will become unlimited as of January 1, 2024, for courses viewed and reported on or after that date. Live webinars continue to count as live courses and are not subject to the same limitations as on-demand programs.
