General Maryland Continuing Legal Education Credit Requirements
No. Maryland does not have a mandatory CLE requirement, and there is no CLE reporting period for Maryland attorneys (unlike nearby states such as New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, or Pennsylvania).
However, the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct (Rule 19-301.1) encourage attorneys to maintain competence by staying current on changes in the law through ongoing legal education. NBI’s CLE programs are a convenient way to do this, and our courses are taught by experienced, well-qualified attorneys.
Even without a formal CLE requirement, staying up to date with new legal developments is essential for practicing law effectively. CLE courses help attorneys maintain competency, build skills in new practice areas, and stay ahead of emerging trends in the legal profession.
Maryland attorneys whether long standing or newly admitted attorneys, can choose from a variety of CLE formats, including:
- Live In-Person Seminars
- Live Webinars
- OnDemand Courses
These flexible options allow attorneys to learn on their own schedule and focus on the topics that matter most to their practice.
CLE courses from NBI help Maryland attorneys:
- Strengthen legal knowledge
- Explore emerging areas of law
- Meet client needs more effectively
- Develop practical skills in litigation, ethics, law office management, and more
With live and OnDemand options, Maryland attorneys can find high-quality education that fits their practice and schedule.
