Fulfilling Your MCLE Requirement with MCLEZ

Course Availability

Courses are available to take immediately after they are purchased. There is no waiting period, and nothing is mailed to you. You can start taking the courses immediately after your purchase, or you can take them at another time that is more convenient.

Accessing Your Courses for the First Time

Your available courses are listed in the "My Account" section of the MCLEZ website. In order to access "My Account" you must first log into MCLEZ. Find the "log in" link on the home page and enter your email address and password. Once the log in information is accepted, you will immediately be taken to "My Account"

Prior to starting any courses, it is imperative that you declare in your account profile the state for which you'd like to earn MCLE credit. To do this, go to the "My Account" page and follow the "My Profile" link. Select the state(s) for which you'd like to earn credit, and then click "Save". Once selected, state appropriate attendance tracking and certificates will be activated for those states selected. Now you're ready to start taking your MCLE courses

Accessing Your Courses

In order to access your courses, you must log into the MCLEZ site every time. Once you log in, the first page you'll see is "My Account" This page will list all of the courses that are available for you to take and earn credit. There is no pre-set order for the courses and you can take them in any order you want.

To start a course, simply click on the course title. The next page will display the media and an information box at the bottom of the page. Simply click on the play button, and the media will begin streaming onto your computer.

Media Player

The area from which the video or audio plays, is called the media player. While you're not able to fast forward your progress, there are some important features to be aware of.
  • Play/Pause- fairly self explanatory. When you need to pause your progress, simply click on the pause button, then click on the play button when you wish to continue.·
  • Volume Control- You are able to control the volume at which the audio plays on your computer from here. Please note that you may also need to adjust your overall volume on your computer to get the optimum sound levels.·
  • Expand/minimize- MCLEZ allows you to view your video courses in full screen mode. You're no longer forced to watch a presentation through a tiny box. Make your MCLE experience more engaging with full screen mode, and when you don't want the video taking up your whole screen, simply click on the minimize button and it will shrink back into the internet browser.

Attendance Verification

The CLE Boards of Arizona, Indiana, New York and Oklahoma require attendance verification through user participation. MCLEZ has implemented a pop-up button system to verify attorney attendance. Randomly throughout the playback of the course, a button will pop up into the screen that must be clicked in order to continue with the course. You will have 2 minutes from the time that button appears to click on it. If the button is not clicked, then the course will stop and you'll have to start again from the beginning.

If you do not practice in Arizona, Indiana, New York or Oklahoma, then the attendance verification system does not apply to you. This attendance verification system is in place to comply with Arizona, Indiana, New York and Oklahoma CLE Board rules and regulations for non-traditional/online CLE platforms.

Pausing and/or Stopping a program

Say you're viewing a program, and you need the media to stop. With MCLEZ, you have two options. You can either click on the pause button to pause the media for any period of time, or you can simply close your browser window. MCLEZ technology will save your place and start you up at the last place where you left off. If you plan to be away from your computer for an extended period of time, it is suggested that you simply close the widow and start the program again when you're ready.

This feature allows you to take your MCLE at your own pace. Have one 12 hour MCLE session, or take your courses in 5 minute increments. It's just another way we make your MCLE experience easy!

Reviewing Course Information

Course information is available as you take the course. In the information box toward the bottom of the screen, there are tabs titled Program Description, Agenda, Panelist Bios, etc. These boxes will give you precisely that information.

Accessing Written Materials

In the information box at the bottom of the page where the media is streamed, there is a tab titled "Written Materials". Within that tab there are links to files that contain the written materials for the course. Download them onto your computer, and you can choose to print them out, or view them directly from your computer screen. You will need an adobe reader to read much of the materials. You can download and install a free adobe reader by following this link: http://get.adobe.com/reader/

Asking Questions with the Feedback Feature

As in any classroom environment, there are always questions about the content. MCLEZ allows users to ask questions that will be sent directly to the speakers. In the information box below the media player, there is a tab titled "Feedback". Within that tab, there is a subject box and question box. Simply submit your questions with this form, and the speaker will respond to you via email within a reasonable time-frame.

Course Feedback

Do you have an opinion you'd like to share with us about your experience with MCLEZ Do you have some feedback that can help make your experience a better one? Please send us your feedback. Within the feedback tab, there is a link to our feedback page. Simply fill it out and return it to the MCLEZ office. We listen to what you have to say, and we want to hear your voice. Please send us feedback as often as you'd like, and we'll do our best to incorporate your ideas to improve the MCLEZ experience.

Certificates of Attendance

Availability of Certificates of Attendance

Certificates of attendance are available only after courses have played through completion. When courses are complete, the certificates may be accessed through the "My Certificates" page.

Accessing Certificates

On the "My Certificates" page, completed courses will be listed along with amount of credit earned, the type of credit granted, and links to the certificates of completion. The links to the certificates are named according to the state for which credit was earned. For instance, if CLE credit was earned for California and Virginia, there will be two links to certificates, "CA Certificate" and "VA certificate" which will lead to the appropriate certificates for those states.

Amending Certificates

Once a certificate has been accessed, please review it and make sure that all of the information on the certificate is correct. If there are any discrepancies, adjustments can be made either directly to the certificate, or through the "My Profile" page. Information from "My Profile" is automatically completed onto certificates of completion.

Flexibility of MCLEZ certificates

The certificates of attendance provided by MCLEZ are provided as PDF files to you greater flexibility in keeping your MCLE records. The PDF format will allow you to either print and file your certificates as done traditionally, or save your certificates electronically and have them available to print when required. If your state allows you to report electronically, the PDF format will allow you to securely store certificates of attendance on your computer and have a virtually paperless MCLE experience. It's just one of the ways we try to make your MCLE experience easier.

Important Note for Texas Attorneys

If you're an attorney practicing in Texas, your State Bar number is required in order for MCLEZ to report your attendance to the Texas State Bar. If your bar number is not provided in "My Profile", MCLEZ will assume we are not granted permission to report your credit to the Texas Bar, and that reporting CLE credit then becomes your responsibility.

Report CLE to the State Bar Associations

California

The California State Bar Association does not track the education hours completed by attorneys (the California State Bar doesn't know how much education individual attorneys have completed). Attorneys track their own hours and report "compliance" to the State Bar at the end of their three-year compliance period.
  • All attorneys (except those on voluntary Inactive status) report "compliance" by submitting a statement of compliance to the State Bar. That statement currently is submitted on a "Compliance Card".
  • Attorneys who are subject to the education requirement must report that they have completed the required education.
  • Attorneys exempt from the education requirement report that they were "Exempt" for the entire compliance period.
  • Do not send proof of compliance with your Compliance Card.
  • Attorneys must keep records of compliance in the event of an audit
If your compliance is audited, you must prove compliance with your MCLE requirement by providing the following:
  • The certificates of attendance given to you by providers;
  • Your record of self-study activities including, as appropriate, the title, provider, time spent in the activity, subject matter of the activity, and the date on which you engaged in the activity; and
  • Proof of Exempt status, if applicable
Do not send the records listed above with your Compliance Card. Maintain the records listed above for one year from the time you submit your Compliance Card, in case you are audited.

New York

The New York State CLE program is a self-reporting system. Certificates of attendance, and/or other documentation of compliance with, or exemption from, the CLE requirement, must be retained by the attorney, for a period of at least four years from the date of the course or program, in case of audit.

An attorney registration form will be mailed to you. You must file your attorney registration form and complete your CLE requirement within 30 days after your birthday on alternate years. If you were admitted before January 1, 1982 or in an even-numbered year (e.g., 1998), then you will register in even-numbered years. If you were admitted in an odd-numbered year after 1982, then you will register in odd-numbered years.

All attorneys must certify, at the time of their biennial registration, that they have satisfactorily completed their CLE requirement for that reporting cycle and that they have retained the proper documentation. (If, when you register, you have completed your required CLE credits but have not received all of your certificates of attendance, you may edit the relevant sentence on the attorney registration form to indicate that you are "awaiting documentation" of your compliance.

If you have not received an attorney registration form by your birthday in the second calendar year following your admission to the Bar, contact the Attorney Registration unit by e-mail at attyreg@nycourts.gov or by telephone at (212) 428-2800.

Texas

In accordance with State Bar regulations, MCLEZ will submit a record of attendance to the Texas State Bar once a month. With that said, in order to submit attendance to the Texas State Bar, the attorney's Texas Bar number is required in the MCLEZ profile. If a bar number is not a part of the attorney's profile, MCLEZ will assume we are not granted permission to report the credit to the Texas Bar, and that reporting CLE credit is the responsibility of the attorney in question.

Please note that it is not the responsibility of MCLEZ to submit this record to comply with any deadlines. If a deadline is approaching, it is the attorney's responsibility to meet that deadline.

Attorneys may certify MCLE attendance with the Texas State Bar using their online "My Bar" system.

http://www.texasbar.com/Template.cfm?Section=MyPage&template=/security/login.cfm

Virginia

Please see the Virginia State Bar's website for instructions for certifying your MCLE attendance. http://www.vsb.org/site/members/certifying-your-mcle-attendance

IMPORTANT NOTE: Aside from reporting the course number via the VSB online system, the Virginia State Bar will accept ONLY certificates of completion as proof of attendance. Do not send any other forms, documents or print outs to the Virginia State Bar as they will not be accepted.

Colorado

Illinois

All Illinois attorneys are required to report compliance, non-compliance or exemptions at the end of the attorney's two-year reporting period. The MCLE Board will mail a Certification Form to each attorney at the preferred mailing address on file with the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission. The Certification Form must be completed and returned to the MCLE Board by the Due Date on the form.

(See Question 24 concerning exemptions from the reporting requirements of Rule 15)

Additional statements will be provided to an Attorney or Judge upon written request and a five dollar ($5.00) fee made payable to the Continuing Legal Education Fund.

If the statement shows the Attorney or Judge is deficient in educational hours, but the Attorney or Judge believes he or she is in compliance for the year or Educational Period the Attorney or Judge shall file a letter of explanation, a Sponsor certification of course attendance, a personal affidavit of attendance, and an application for course accreditation. The documents required by this subsection shall be filed by December 31 of the year or Educational Period in question unless an extension of time to file the same has been granted by the Commission.
