    This session is eligible for CLE/CPD credit.

    Based on title, description, and submitted course materials of the session, it qualifies for CLE/CPD credit in most jurisdictions.

    Additionally:

    To help you as you select sessions, the below types of programs are likely to qualify for credit in most jurisdictions:

    • Skills: “How to … as a lawyer”;
    • Substantive discussion of law;
    • Specialty credits: Ethics, Elimination of Bias (EOB), Substance Use Disorders, Mental Health Issues, Diversity
      
      • Many jurisdictions have special requirements, but we are seeing more approvals of EOB, Diversity, and Wellness credits.

    This information will be included in the CLE/CPD chart.

  • The meeting is done. How do I get my CLE/CPD credits (Certificate of Attendance)?

  • CLE and Virginia-barred attorneys

    VA Credit Timing

    As you may know, the Virginia State Bar (VSB) has become increasingly strict when granting Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit for programs, especially ethics credit. Regrettably, due to the VSB’s filing review timelines, it will be impossible for ACC to guarantee in advance exactly which 2025 Annual Meeting (AM25) sessions will be granted general and ethics credit by Virginia.

    ACC Guidance

    To help guide your program selection process, prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting we will send all Virginia attorneys registered for the conference a list of sessions that we anticipate will be granted Virginia credit. We cannot guarantee their approval, but we will suggest a curriculum using our best judgment having reviewed the quality of the course materials submitted by AM25 speakers.

    Alternatively, given this uncertainty we also strongly encourage you to consider rolling over your 2025 Annual Meeting credits to your 2026 MCLE compliance year. We would not want you to inadvertently run afoul of your deadlines, since there is a chance that Virginia may not respond to our filing with the anticipated approvals until after the December 15th reporting deadline.

    VA CLE Reminders

    As you map out your AM25 schedule, we offer a couple of reminders:

    • The VSB denies credit for sessions on the topics of Law Department Management, Business/Management, Leadership, Legal Operations, and other non-traditional legal topics.
    • Ethics credit is only granted for courses that objectively and specifically address "topics embraced in recognized formulations of rules of professional conduct or codes of professional responsibility applicable to attorneys." Ethics in government, business, and other professions do not qualify for this specialty credit.

    For more general information about Virginia MCLE requirements and deadlines, please visit the VSB website: https://www.vsb.org/Site/lawyers/mcle-course-info.aspx

    We realize that this is a significant inconvenience, but we assure you that we are committed to doing all we can to mitigate this challenge for Virginia attorneys who attend the ACC Annual Meeting each October. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
