Overview of Kansas CLE Reporting

Under Kansas Supreme Court Rule 804, active attorneys must complete 12 CLE credit hours per year, including 2 hours in ethics and professionalism. An attorney may carry over up to 10 unused general attendance credits (ethics credits cannot carry over as ethics).

• June 30: Deadline to complete required CLE credits (12 total, including 2 ethics/professionalism).
• July–August: Attorneys may continue completing CLE courses and reporting credits to the Kansas CLE Commission.
