Using AttorneyCredits.com, you can conveniently complete your Alaska CLE courses at any time of the day or night to fulfill your AK CLE (Continuing Legal Education) requirement. Attorney Credits offers both MECLE credits (Mandatory Ethics Continuing Legal Education) and VCLE credits (Voluntary Continuing Legal Education). MECLE credits are referred to as ethics credits and these CLE courses must contribute directly to an Alaska attorney's professional competence or skills, or to their education about ethical or professional obligations. VCLE credits are referred to as general credits and the Alaska State Bar uses certain incentives to encourage Alaska lawyers to participate in VCLE. Attorneys may use AttorneyCredits.com to complete all 12 Alaska CLE requirement units. Get all the information you need to complete your CLE on our Alaska CLE requirements page.
According to Alaska Bar Rules 65 & 66, attorneys must complete at least 3 hours of Mandatory Ethics CLE (MECLE) and are encouraged to engage in at least 9 hours of Voluntary CLE (VCLE) each annual CLE compliance period. December 31 is the deadline for earning Alaska CLE credits and February 1 is the deadline for filing Alaska CLE Reports. Only Alaska attorneys that complete at least 3 hours of MECLE and at least 9 hours of approved VCLE (and comply with the mandatory CLE reporting requirement) may participate in the Alaska Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service. If an Alaska attorney does not comply with the Alaska Bar Association CLE Rules by completing at least 3 hours of Alaska MECLE and at least nine 9 hours of approved Alaska VCLE, the non-completion of CLE may be utilized in any Alaska Bar disciplinary matter relating to the requirements of Alaska Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1 concerning an Alaska attorney's competence to practice law. Attorneys may complete all 12 CLE units through online CLE courses to meet the Alaska CLE requirement.
