Yes. Speakers at accredited programs can get 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 shall 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.
Authors of IICLE® publications may receive CLE credit for the actual time spent in researching and writing the material. However, please note that no more than half of the total CLE credits earned for any given reporting period may come from authorship activity. Credit for research and writing for IICLE® publications must be earned within the reporting period for which the credit is claimed. The MCLE Board rules provide that an author may claim credit only if the work was published within the reporting period for which credit is being claimed. Credit for works published within the "extension period" granted by the MCLE Board will apply to the previous reporting period only for those attorneys who are availing themselves of the extension. IICLE® does not issue certificates for potential authorship credit. It is ultimately the responsibility of the author to accurately report MCLE hours earned to the MCLE Board for each reporting period. If an author would like to report hours to IICLE, we will record them so that they will appear on the author's MyIICLE account on www.iicle.com. Please note that IICLE® does not report hours to the MCLE Board and reporting authorship hours to IICLE® is not a substitute for the requirement to report CLE hours to the MCLE Board. Authors with questions about MCLE credit for authorship should contact Publications Assistant Jennifer Routson at jroutson@iicle.com.
