Accreditation and CLE Rules for Florida
Courses purchased through UnitedCLE.com are provided and fully accredited by The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education, a Florida Bar Accredited CLE Sponsor (CLE Sponsor # 0185716).
Florida attorneys must complete a minimum of 30 credit hours of approved continuing legal education activity every 3 years. Five of the 30 credit hours must be in approved "professional responsibility" programs which includes ethics, professionalism, bias elimination, substance abuse, and mental illness awareness programs, and at least 1 of the 5 hours must be an approved professionalism program. Additionally, 3 of the 30 credit hours must be in approved technology programs. Attorneys with deadlines on or after 4/30/2024 will also need to take a new 2 credit Professionalism course provided directly by the Florida Bar at no extra charge.
Florida attorneys can earn all 30 hours including 5 hours of professional responsibility, 1 hour or professionalism and 3 hours of technology with our Online & iOS/Android App courses. Preapproved courses offered by the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education have been directly approved by The Florida Bar and come with unique Florida Bar course codes which enables easy and quick reporting. “Self-Report” courses come with prefilled forms for easy self-reporting to the FL Bar.
Each Florida attorney and FRP is assigned a 3 year compliance period that ends on the last day of their designated month. You can find your compliance date by logging into your Florida Bar Profile.
Florida Registered Paralegals (FRP’s) must complete a minimum of 30 hours of CLE every three years to maintain their status. Of the 30 hours, 5 hours must be in ethics or professionalism and three 3 hours must be in technology. FRP's can satisfy all 30 mandated continuing education hours with our preapproved Online & iOS/Android App courses since they are directly approved by The Florida Bar.
**The Supreme Court of Florida amended Bar Rule 6-10.3(b) (Minimum Hourly Continuing Legal Education Requirements), effective January 8, 2024, to:
Reduce the overall CLE requirement for attorneys 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.
Remove “bias elimination” from the requirement that “[a]t least 5 of the 30 credit hours must be in approved legal ethics, professionalism, substance abuse, or mental health and wellness programs.” Courses in “bias elimination” that meet The Florida Bar’s general course approval requirements will continue to count toward fulfilling Bar members’ overall 30-hour CLE requirement, but such courses will no longer count toward fulfillment of the five-hour sub-requirement specified in the rule.

About This Course
Cryptocurrency is changing the financial landscape in many ways. One of those is the issue of hiding assets from divorce court. Cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin can be purchased with cash, held electronically without any third party interference and transferred anonymously.
This CLE course will offer attorneys a general understanding of cryptocurrency and how it operates. The course will explain how it is held by an owner and offer strategies for gathering information on a spouse’s transactions. A forensic expert will also explain the benefits of digital forensics to access a spouse’s electronic devices to examine transactions on the Blockchain.
The course will cover a full definition of cryptocurrency and the type of “wallets” they may be held in, obtaining documents and records of cryptocurrency transactions as well as the investigative techniques to do so.
