UPDATED MCLE REQUIREMENTS IN RESPONSE TO THE CORONAVIRUS: The Pennsylvania Supreme Court is temporarily waiving the six (6) credit hour limit on distance learning credit for 2020 & 2021 compliance deadlines. Attorneys may now complete all twelve (12) hours of their 2020 & 2021 CLE requirements through approved distance learning activities. Asynchronous programs (pre-recorded) continue to be classified as distance learning and will not carry forward to future compliance periods. The 2020 compliance deadline for Groups 2 and 3 remain unchanged.
