How do I obtain CLE credit for attending a national FBA conference (in-person, hybrid, virtual)?

  • The FBA partners with ConferenceAdit LLC to track and report CLE credit for national conferences. Attendees are responsible for uploading their state bar information and tracking attendance through a dedicated webpage, issued in advance of the conference. Attendees will be instructed to check in and out of each panel to timestamp attendance. Following the conference, personalized certificates will be issued via email. Click Here to see a video tutorial of ConferenceAdit.
  • Speakers are responsible for following the above steps to obtain CLE credit for speaking at an FBA conference. Please note that some states offer additional CLE credits for sessions in which you presented. Please check with your state to inquire about its teaching credit policy or to obtain their speaker credit form.

How do I obtain CLE credit for attending a FBA webinar?

  • After registering for a webinar, attendees will receive a Zoom streaming link via confirmation email (date of registration) and calendar invitation (day prior to webinar). Prior to streaming, you will be directed to a zoom entry page requesting attendee contact information and state bar information (state + ID #).
  • Attendees must enter state bar information in the entry form, participate in the webinar’s live broadcast for a minimum of 30-minutes, and answer engagement polls during the live stream to receive credit.

How do I know if my state is a 50-minute or 60-minute state?

MCLE states determine CLE credit hours by dividing the running time of instructional programs by either 60 or 50 minutes. Each jurisdiction also has different rounding rules in determining credit calculations. Check your jurisdiction’s rule summary for specific details.

50 minute states: CO, FL, KS, MO, NJ, NY, OK, RI, WI, and WV. All other states are 60 minute states.

My state has a special credit-request form. How do I obtain it?

If your state requires a special credit-request form, the CLE Administrator will email you the appropriate form after the program upon state approval.
