MCLE Requirements and Deadlines

Dates and Deadlines

The annual compliance period is July 1 to the following June 30.  Affidavits must be filed by September 15 of each year.

The online electronic affidavit is available in mid-July. The electronic affidavit automatically populates with your name, Bar number, address, and all of your State Bar CLE, based on the information you entered in the CLE tracking system.

Electronic filing updates your record in real time, and there is no requirement to mail the affidavit.

Another option is to print off a blank affidavit from the website, complete and mail it.

The third option is the blank affidavit in the Arizona Attorney magazine issued in mid-August.
