Details
Yes — in North Dakota at least 12 of the 36 required CLE credits in each three-year period must be earned in “live” formats (which include in-person and live webcasts). The remaining credits may come from self-study or prerecorded courses, up to a cap of 24 credits in a period.
Key Takeaway: North Dakota mandates that a portion of your CLE credits (12 of 36) must be earned live (in person or live webcast); you may use recorded or self-study formats only for the remainder.
North Dakota provides a one-month window — reporting compliance must be filed by July 31 after the June 30 CLE completion deadline. There is no automatic extension beyond that; failure to report may lead to a noncompliance notice under Rule 4.2.
Key Takeaway: In North Dakota, your “grace period” ends July 31 — after June 30 — and if you miss that, you have only 60 days post-notice to cure or respond under Rule 4.2.
