Accreditation and CLE Rules for Georgia
Courses purchased through UnitedCLE.com are provided and fully accredited by The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education, a provider of CLE courses in Georgia approved by the Georgia Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competency, sponsor #3730.
Georgia attorneys are required to take 18 credit hours every 2 years, including 3 credit hours of Ethics and 2 credit hours of Professionalism.
Georgia attorneys can earn all 18 CLE credit hours with us including 3 credit hours of Ethics and 2 credit hours of Professionalism using our Online & iOS/Android App courses.
Georgia attorneys must complete their continuing legal education requirements by December 31st every 2 years. Georgia attorneys must return their annual report to the Commission by February 15th.
Georgia attorneys are permitted to carryover a maximum of 18 general credits, including 3 ethics credits, 2 professionalism credits to the next reporting period.
*Effective January 1, 2026, the State Bar of Georgia will require active members to complete 18 hours of continuing legal education (CLE) every two years, increasing from the current 12 hours annually. Within these 18 hours, members—except those in the Georgia Transition Into Law Practice Program—must complete at least 3 hours in legal ethics and 2 hours in professionalism, with unused ethics and professionalism credits carryable up to the next biennial period but not beyond. Members may also carry over up to 18 unused CLE hours to the following period.
CLE activities should relate to the member’s practice area or benefit their practice and clients. These changes shift CLE reporting to a biennial cycle with increased total requirements and specific minimums for ethics and professionalism. This new rule also eliminates the specific trial credits course requirement for Georgia trial attorneys. The CLE compliance deadline will be December 31st of every odd year. The first biennial compliance period begins January 1, 2026, and ends December 31, 2027.

About This Course
A winter storm brings unimaginable havoc, most of which is felt in the immediate inconveniences. But a recent major winter storm has had long-lasting consequences in the shape of ongoing litigation over slip and fall injuries. This CLE course will offer a hypothetical slip and fall case from the perspectives of three involved parties, plaintiff’s attorney, defense attorney, and meteorologist expert.
The course will take you step-by-step through the chronology of meteorological events which served to create the hazardous situation. The course will be looked at through the eyes of the plaintiff’s attorney with the goal of understanding when and how to retain and use a meteorologist expert. The case will then be viewed from the perspective of the defense attorney with a similar focus on the role of the meteorologist in this theoretical case. Potential outcomes will be presented.
