- In 2001, the California State Assembly passed a bill (AB 1761) outlining, among other things, new MANDATORY continuing legal education requirements for Paralegals. The Bill provides under B & P Code Section 6450 paragraph d that "all continuing education courses shall meet the requirements of [Business & professions Code] Section 6070.
- Per Section 6070 only courses offered by State Bar of California approved MCLE providers are recognized when considering MCLE credit hours earned.
- Additionally, the State Bar has gone on record stating that "If an activity is geared toward Paralegals or attended only by Paralegals, the activity DOES NOT qualify for MCLE credit and therefore does not meet either the Attorney's or the Paralegal's requirements."
- When taking live or online MCLE courses, Attorneys and Paralegals should be certain that the provider is certified by the California State Bar.
- Internet For Lawyers is a California State Bar approved MCLE provider.
-
The Bar also allows PARTICIPATORY CREDIT online MCLE if the provider keeps record of the attorneys' usage of the materials. Internet For Lawyers keeps these records, and therefore our quizzes are eligible for PARTICIPATORY credit.
