Continuing Legal Education (CLE) is not currently mandatory for attorneys admitted to the State Bar of Michigan. However, although CLE is not mandatory in Michigan, Michigan attorneys can use CLE as a tool to enhance their professional competence and become a better legal practitioner. Completing MI CLE courses is a great way to keep current with the law and fulfill your ethical duties as a Michigan attorney. According to Comment 6 to Rule 1.1 of the Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct, "To maintain the requisite knowledge and skill, a lawyer should engage in continuing study and education." If you are a Michigan attorney, completing certain CLE courses may also save you money. Some insurance carriers such as ALPS offer discounts in non-mandatory CLE states like Michigan for attorneys who complete a certain amount of specific CLE courses each year on legal ethics topics.
