You may look up the status of past CLEs, as well as find event codes for CLEs for which credit is still pending, by searching the approved courses on the Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education website. (With the new online reporting, you may report a CLE once an event code is assigned and your records will automatically update once the credit approval goes through.)
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILING DEADLINE FOR REPORTING YOUR CLEs: The filing deadline for Category 1 attorneys reporting CLE compliance in 2010 is August 30, 2010. Board Rule 9B provides for a 60-day filing period. You do not need to request an extension during this filing period. The Rules do not require that you report your compliance by June 30, 2010 (the last day of the reporting period.) In addition, if you have not met your CLE requirements by June 30, 2010, you may complete them between July 1, 2010 and August 30, 2010 without requesting a formal extension from the Board. You must enter your courses through OASIS or submit your Affidavit of CLE Compliance by August 30, 2010, or you will be subject to a $50 late filing fee. If you have additional questions on the filing deadline, please refer to Rule 9B. (Click Here for Board Rule 9B). Please note: if you are unable to attend a CLE as planned, and the CLE cost was less than $35, your registration will be converted to a tax-deductible donation to VLN to help with training and supporting our volunteers. Thank you for your understanding and support of VLN programs.
