Special COVID-19 Statement from Nebraska Supreme Court
In response to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic, the Nebraska Supreme Court has determined it necessary to allow all 10 required credits to be obtained without attending live education (regular/traditional class type) for 2020. As attorneys file annual reports for 2020 in December, reports that have no live education will be accepted when they contain at least 10 total credits including 2 that qualify as professional responsibility/ethics. Contact the MCLE Help Desk at 402.471.3137 or nsc.mcle@nebraska.gov with any questions about CLE requirements for attorneys or submission and reporting procedures for CLE sponsors.
