South Carolina lawyers, take note! The new Continuing Legal Education requirements came into effect on May 1.

South Carolina’s CLE requirements for experienced attorneys include 14 credit hours—at least two in legal ethics and professional responsibility.

Now, SC lawyers must earn one hour of SA/MH—substance abuse, mental health issues, or stress management and the legal profession.

Lawyers and judges must complete the exclusive SA/MH course credit at least once every two annual reporting years. The completion of which counts for LEPR credit.

Attorneys’ credits are recorded at the Check MCLE Credits (password-protected) link. Alternatively, contact 803.799.5578 or commcle@bellsouth.net.

Alternatively Delivered Courses Available Here
