The KBA makes it easy to satisfy your CLE requirements.
Whether you want to register for a live (on-site) course or take an online program, the KBA CLE Catalog makes it easy.
PLEASE NOTE:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Tennessee Supreme Court issued an Order, amending TSC Rule 21, permanently eliminating the cap on distance learning CLE hours so Tennessee attorneys can earn all 15 of their CLE hours online. Read the Order.
LAST MINUTE CHANGES: Online registration for onsite or live CLE programs turns off 24 hours before each event. After that, you are welcome to call the KBA Office at (865) 522-6522 to check availability for walk-in registration. There is a $5.00 charge for registrations after 5:00 pm the day before the program. Reservations cancelled less than 48 hours before the program are subject to the penalty of the entire amount. However, you may transfer your registration to another individual.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY: Please verify when you register for an online CLE course that you have not previously taken that same online program. Some of our online CLE courses have been approved for CLE credit for longer than one calendar year using the same course ID number. The CLE Commission will not approve CLE credit for the same course even if it is taken in a different calendar year.
