YOUR MCLE REQUIREMENTS AS A LEGAL PRACTITIONER

The Legal Profession Rules require that all legal practitioners who hold a current practising certificate in NSW must, during each MCLE(CPD) year (01 April to 31 March) complete mandatory continuing legal education (continuing professional development), unless they qualify for an exemption, by completing a course of education which satisfies the following requirements of the Rule 42:

• The course must be relevant to a practitioner’s immediate or long term needs in relation to the practitioner’s professional development and to the practice of law

• The course must have an aggregate value of ten (10) MCLE points (generally they are required to complete 10 units)

• The course must include at least one (1) MCLE unit in each of the following fields: - Ethics and professional responsibility - Practice management and business skills - Professional skills

• A practitioner’s engagement in a course of continuing legal education which satisfies the requirements in Rule 42, will entitle the practitioner to one (1) MCLE unit for each hour of participation in the course

• MCLE points accrued in the period 1 January to 31 March, in any year, may be carried forward into the following MCLE year but can only be counted in one MCLE year

In addition to the standard MCLE/ CPD requirements, Clauses 175 and 176 of the Legal Profession Regulation 2005 prohibit discrimination and require solicitors to undertake mandatory MCLE/ CPD, to include a component relating to the management of the practice of law dealing with the principles of
