Attorney Professional Conduct

In Ohio, attorneys shall complete, as part of their minimum 24-hour biennial CLE requirement, 2.5 hours of instruction related to professional conduct by choosing from a range of courses that have been approved as meeting the “professional conduct” requirement.  These courses may include instruction on legal ethics, professionalism, mental health or substance abuse issues, access to justice and fairness in the courts, interacting with self-represented litigants, and pro bono representation.  For a description of the types of courses that will meet the professional conduct requirement see Gov.Bar R. X, Sec. 3(B)).

In Kentucky, attorneys shall complete and certify a minimum of 12 credit hours in continuing legal education activities approved by the Commission, including a minimum of 2 credit hours devoted to "ethics, professional responsibility and professionalism" as defined by SCR 3.600(8).

The CBA routinely applies for both Ohio Attorney Professional Conduct credit and Kentucky Ethics credit. Please note that all programs are not always eligible for both types of credit. Refer to the individual program listing for more information.
