Illinois attorneys must complete 30 credit hours every 2 years, including 6 hours of professional responsibility. Attorneys in Illinois with the last names A-M should have completed the required IL MCLE by June 30. Don’t panic if you missed the Illinois CLE deadline.
If you did not complete the required IL CLE your best option is to report non-compliance to the Illinois MCLE Board by July 31 and cure your CLE deficiency by September 30.
If you did not complete the IL MCLE requirement you should report “not complied” before July 31 in order to receive an extension until September 30 to complete the required CLE. You will incur a $100 fee, however, you will avoid paying the $150 late fee for not reporting by July 31. For more information about Illinois CLE please click here: IL CLE.
