Idaho Newly Admitted CLE Requirements for Attorneys

A Newly Admitted Attorney in Idaho is one who has been admitted to practice in Idaho for one year or less.

 Newly Admitted Attorneys in ID must complete 10 credits of New Admittee Credit-Approved CLE, including 4 NAC-Approved credits must be in Idaho Substantive Law Courses on Ethics, Civil and Criminal Procedure, and Community Property.

New Admittees who have actively practiced law for less than three years prior to admission in Idaho must complete the New Attorney Program, which consists of an introduction to practice, procedure and ethics. Completion of this program would count towards the 10-credit New Admittee Credit Requirement for Newly Admitted Idaho attorneys.

The New Attorney Program is an in-person event held twice per year in Boise on the morning of each Admission Ceremony in the Spring and Fall. It cannot be completed online or as a recorded program.

NAC-Approved credits can be completed with either traditional live, in-person CLE seminars or with online On Demand CLE courses. As long as the course has been approved by the Idaho State Bar to satisfy the New Admittee Credit Requirement, the course may be taken towards this requirement.

Newly Admitted Attorneys must complete the New Admittee Credit Requirement within 1 year after admission to the Bar.

No. Attorneys cannot carry over any credits from one reporting period to the next.

Lawline does not offer New-Admittee Credit Approved courses for Idaho attorneys.
