The following School of Government sponsored programs offer varying hours of continuing legal education (CLE) credit. North Carolina attorneys must take 12 hours of approved CLE per year, two of which must be in the area of professional responsibility or professional development or any combination thereof. For additional information about CLE requirements, please visit the North Carolina State Bar's website at www.nccle.org.
