Type of Course
► LIVE – the course held live with instructors and attendees participating in real time. Live courses include webcasts and teleconferences where
the instructor is speaking to the participants in real time.
• A live course may include a limited number of sessions where a recording is viewed as long as there is a moderator who is qualified to
answer attendees’ questions present during the viewing of the recording. The date the recording was made should be noted on the course
schedule.
► RECORDED – the course is a recording regardless of whether or not a moderator is present.
Recorded courses include recordings
viewed/listened to by attorneys on their own and replays of recordings presented to a group with or without a moderator present.
• A recording must be applied for separately and an application should not be submitted until the recording has been made and the actual
runtime in minutes can be calculated.
• Recordings cannot be more than five years old.
• The course schedule from the original live course cannot be used to determine runtime unless verification from the course provider is
included stating the recording followed the exact schedule as to topics and time is included with the application.
• A breakdown of the topics and their individual runtimes is preferred in case ethics credits are requested or some topics cannot be
approved.
Ethics Credit
► A detailed description of the legal ethics topics and the exact time the ethics topics were covered must be included for approval of ethics credit.
Session titles normally do not provide the necessary topic detail. Additional information on the ethics topics and times can be included with the
application.
• Ethics credits shall be in courses on legal ethics or professional responsibility and may include discussion of the Idaho Rules of Professional
Conduct, professionalism and civility, client trust account administration and legal malpractice prevention.
Self-Study Credit
► A CLE activity will be deemed a self-study program unless three or more participants attend the course and the participants have access to the
presenter during the CLE activity or, in the case of a recorded course, a moderator who is qualified to answer attendees’ questions about the
topics is present during the course.
Course Topics
► Courses included in the curriculum of a college or university undergraduate degree program do not qualify for accreditation.
► An attorney may receive credit for attendance at a non-legal educational program if the subject of that program relates specifically to the
attorney’s area of practice.
► A course may address law practice management to promote the efficient and competent delivery of legal services.
► No CLE credit shall be approved for marketing, client cultivation, general time management or stress reduction, computer training that is not
specific to attorneys, general business topics, or vendor-provided activities designed solely to promote products or services.
