The Minnesota Board of Continuing Legal Education oversees the
administration of the Rules for Continuing Legal Education.The mandatory continuing legal education
requirement was established to ensure that lawyers continue their legal
education throughout the period of their active practice of
law.
The Board is responsible for:
Accrediting continuing legal
education courses presented in Minnesota and
elsewhere;
Administering the process by
which attorneys’ continuing legal education credits are reported;
and
Administering the process by
which attorneys are removed from “active status” for failure to complete
continuing legal education
The Minnesota Supreme Court appoints the all-volunteer
Board, which consists of twelve members and a chairperson.The membership of the Board includes
three members of the public and one or more members who are district court

Court.
