• How many CLE credits do I need to complete each reporting period?

  When you complete a course, you should have access to all information needed to apply, on your own, for credit in states not listed.

• Can I carry over excess CLE credits to the next reporting period?

  This depends on your state bar’s CLE rules — some allow carryover of excess credits (often limited to a certain number or time frame), while others require that all CLEs be completed within the reporting period.
  
  Please get in touch with your bar to find out whether you are allowed any carryover credits.

   

• Does ALPS automatically report my attendance, or do I need to submit proof myself?

  On behalf of ALPS, Lawline will submit attendance in the following states: California, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, South Carolina, Tennessee,  Utah, Washington (live webinar only), and West Virginia.

  Attendance is reported 1x per month by the 15th of the month following the completion date. Reporting in all other states is the responsibility of the attendee.

• Can I complete CLE courses on demand?

  Yes. ALPS offers both live and on-demand CLE formats so you can learn at your own pace.

• What happens if I fail to complete my CLE requirements on time?

  If you fail to complete your CLE (Continuing Legal Education) requirements by your state’s reporting deadline, the consequences vary by jurisdiction, but may include some of these common consequences:

  1. Grace Period: Many states offer a short grace period (often 30–60 days) to make up missing credits without severe penalties, sometimes with a small late fee.

  2. Fines or Administrative Fees: You may be required to pay a late compliance fee or reinstatement fee.

  3. Administrative Suspension: Failure to complete your CLE or report compliance after the grace period may result in your license to practice law being administratively suspended until you complete the credits and pay any penalties.

  4. Reinstatement Requirements: Reinstatement generally requires completing all outstanding CLE credits, paying all fees, and filing proof of compliance.

  5. Public Record or Disciplinary Consequences: Some states (like California and New York) may report noncompliance to the bar’s disciplinary authority, which could affect your standing or appear on public records.

  Please check with your bar association to understand your specific state's regulations.
