Illinois MCLE Requirements
Illinois attorneys must complete 30 total hours, including at least six hours of professional responsibility (PR), over the course of a two year reporting period. However, of those six hours, Illinois attorneys must complete one hour of diversity/inclusion PR and one hour of mental health/substance abuse PR. If you are newly admitted attorney you may have different requirements.
BAMSL does not routinely get seminars accredited in Illinois. Accreditation may be sought for some seminars upon request. BAMSL's CLE staff is also available to assist attorneys in seeking Illinois credit for a Missouri accredited seminar. Please contact BAMSL CLE Manager Sebrina Colvin for assistance.
