Has My Virginia CLE Requirement Changed Due to Coronavirus?

The Supreme Court of Virginia issued an order extending the 2020 MCLE deadline to midnight EST 12/31/20 (usually 10/31).  The reporting deadline has been extended to 2/15/21 but VA has granted an automatic grace period to 3/15/21 to report courses. All reporting must be submitted by 4:45 p.m. EST on 3/15/21.

Virginia attorneys will also be receiving two Form 1 End Of Year reports for the 2020 reporting year. 

• The first report will display courses taken between November 1, 2019 - October 31, 2020.
• The second report will display courses taken during the extension period of November 1,2020 – December 31, 2020. 

VA requests that if you have any courses you'd like added to your record, to please complete Form 1 and mail it to the office so that they may post the hours. The VA online portal is currently down for processing. The mailing address for the Virginia State Bar is listed below: 

Virginia State Bar
1111 East Main Street, Suite 700
Richmond, VA 23219 

At this time, no changes have been made to the VA CLE requirements for the 2021 compliance year.
