United Institute for Continuing Legal Education is a provider of accredited CLE courses throughout the country.

Iowa attorneys are required to take 15 credit hours every year including 1 credit hour of ethics and 1 credit hour in attorney wellness or diversity and inclusion. The Annual CLE report must be submitted to the IA Commission on Continuing Legal Education by March 10th every year.

Iowa attorneys can earn all 15 CLE credit hours with us including 1 credit hour of ethics and 1 credit hour in attorney wellness or diversity and inclusion using our Online & iOS/Android App courses.

Iowa attorneys may carry forward excess CLE credits earned to the next two reporting cycles. Carryover credits must be noted on the annual report. Excess Ethics, Diversity & Inclusion, and Attorney Wellness credits may be carried forward to the next reporting year for purposes of meeting the 15 hour total CLE requirement. However, excess credits cannot be used for the Ethics, and the Diversity & Inclusion or Attorney Wellness requirements.

*The Iowa Supreme Court has issued an order permanently lifting the 6 hour cap on unmoderated programming, Iowa attorneys may complete any portion of their requirement using On-Demand courses. Therefore all IA attorneys can now satisfy their entire requirement using our Online & iOS/Android App courses.
