Attorneys must earn the required 15 hours of CLE before January 1, 2026, but have until March 31 to report hours to the Commission.

Attorneys on Suspension Order

If you are an attorney not in compliance with 2021 CLE Requirements, you must complete the following:

• Pay any fees due
• Earn any hours and file an Affidavit of Compliance including the Tennessee CLE course number. Unaccredited courses without Tennessee course numbers are not valid for the Affidavit of Compliance, or
• File a valid exemption (and pay any fees due)
After attorneys meet these requirements, the Commission will submit a proposed reinstatement order to the Court. The Commission cannot provide an estimate as to when any reinstatement orders will be filed. Attorneys may not practice law until the Court files a reinstatement order.
