NEW! Effective January 8, 2024, the Supreme Court of Florida amended Bar Rule 6-10.3(b) (Minimum Hourly Continuing Legal Education Requirements) to:

  • Reduce the overall CLE requirement from 33 to 30 hours per reporting cycle.
  • Require Bar members to complete a two-hour legal professionalism course produced by The Florida Bar and approved by this Court during each reporting cycle. This two-hour course, which the Bar will offer free of charge, replaces the existing one-hour professionalism program requirement.
