Ohio attorneys must complete 24 CLE credit hours during each two-year compliance period, including at least 2.5 credit hours in Professional Conduct topics (ethics, professionalism, substance abuse/mental health, or access to justice).

Experienced attorneys in Ohio can fulfill all 24 CLE credits online through accredited self-study formats, including on-demand video, audio programs, live webinars, and interactive technology-based courses.

Live CLE includes in-person seminars and live webcasts where the instructor is present in real time. PBI offers numerous accredited live webcast programs.

Access to Justice (promoting fairness in the legal system, including race, disability, gender, and language access issues)

• Legal Ethics (based on Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct)

• Professionalism (focusing on attorneys’ ethical roles)

• Alcoholism, Substance Abuse, or Mental Health Issues (prevention, detection, treatment)

Ohio attorneys are divided into two reporting groups based on their last name.

Deadlines depend on your compliance group:

• Group 2 (M–Z): Compliance deadline is December 31st of even-numbered years.

• Group 1 (A–L): Compliance deadline is December 31st of odd-numbered years.

ProPass offers unlimited access to Ohio CLE Live Webcasts and On-Demand Videos, making it the most flexible and affordable way to meet your CLE requirements.

All PBI courses are fully mobile-optimized — stream or download CLE content on any device, anytime.

Ohio attorneys must log into the Attorney Services Portal to review and confirm their Final Reporting Transcript. If there are discrepancies, they must notify the CLE Commission by the reporting deadline.
