Does Michigan have minimum live webcast or in-person CLE requirements?

You do not report CLE credits in Michigan because the state does not currently mandate continuing legal education or CLE reporting.
Michigan attorneys are not required by rule to certify CLE, though CLE may be useful for multi-state compliance or professional development.

Overview of Michigan CLE Status

Michigan is one of the states without a mandatory CLE requirement for attorneys. Some specialty areas (e.g. indigent defense) require CLE under specific statutory or administrative schemes, with reporting via the Michigan Indigent Defense Commission (MIDC) using CE Broker.

Steps (If You Have to Report for a Specific Program)

• Register for a free CE Broker account and link it to Michigan’s reporting program (e.g. MIDC).
• Check that your completed courses are listed in CE Broker’s Course History and record your CLE compliance status.
• If a course is missing, submit it through CE Broker or send required forms to MIDC (often via email).
• Maintain your own records (certificates, agendas) as backup for any reporting audits.
• Confirm that SproutEducation-delivered credits (if applicable) appear in your CE Broker history; where provider reporting is allowed, we support transmission, but you remain responsible for monitoring your record.

Key Takeaway: In Michigan there is no general requirement to report CLE credits—attorneys do not certify CLE. For certain programs mandated by commission (e.g. MIDC), you use CE Broker for tracking and reporting. Sprout Education supports reporting where permitted, but your responsibility is to monitor and ensure credit visibility.
