Members of The Florida Bar are subject to a continuing legal education requirement, commonly referred to as mandatory CLE. There are exemptions for out-of-state members who do not practice in Florida or render advice on matters of Florida law, members on active military service, members of the federal judiciary, inactive members and those claiming undue hardship.
Members are notified of their CLE reporting requirements via email and self-report compliance online through the MyFloridaBar Member Portal.
Florida Bar members in good standing under the age of 36 and all members in good standing who have not been admitted to the practice of law in any jurisdiction for more than five years are required to complete the Basic Skills Course Requirement.
