Yes. Attorneys who teach at IICLE programs may claim non-traditional credit for the actual time of their presentation, plus six times the length of their presentation for preparation. A second presentation of the same topic will earn ½ the actual presentation time as CLE credit. Alternatively, preparation of written materials for a CLE program can be counted at actual time as well, subject to a limit of 10 hours total for any given 2-year reporting period. However, current MCLE rules do not permit an attorney to claim both oral presentation and preparation credits along with writing credits for materials for the same course. Attorneys may not claim any CLE credit for making a third or further presentation of the same material. To claim credit for speaking at an IICLE program, attorneys must take action to verify the teaching credit within the MCLE Transcript system in order to apply it toward Illlinois CLE Compliance. Additional information on how to claim teaching credit can be found at www.mcleboard.org. Please note that there are limits on the number of non-traditional credits that an inidivdual attorney may claim per reporting period.

Authors of IICLE® publications may receive non-traditional CLE credit for time spent researching and writing the material. IICLE® issues certificates of publication to evidence authorship credit following publication of the material. Individuals should refer to the MCLE website for information on the number of hours for which they are eligible and for instructions on how to self-report.
