OK CLE FAQs

How do I report my CLE credits?
SproutEd reports your attendance and credit to the Oklahoma Bar Association within 30 days of completion.

Attorneys who do not complete their CLE requirements will receive an Annual report of Compliance in the mail in January. If received, the attorney must fill out the form with necessary updates or corrections, or request an exemption, and mail it back to Oklahoma Bar Association Department of CLE by February 15th.

Can I carry over extra CLE credits?
12 credits may be carried over into the next reporting period, including 2 in Ethics.

What are the consequences of not completing my CLE in time?
Every year, the Commission on Mandatory Continuing Legal Education will send a list of all noncompliant attorneys to the executive director of the Oklahoma Bar Association. The executive director will serve each attorney with an order to show cause why the attorney’s license should not be suspended after 60 days. If the attorney does not meet this requirement, the Board of Governors will recommend suspension of the attorney to the Supreme Court. For a suspended attorney to be reinstated, the attorney must file an affidavit indicating compliance with the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, as well as pay a $500 reinstatement fee.
