Yes. There are a few ways to report out-of-state CLE.
If the course you’ve taken is accredited in Tennessee, just ask the provider to report your hours to Tennessee. Providers of accredited courses are required to report and pay for CLE hours.
If the course has not been accredited in Tennessee, you or your provider will need to get the course accredited for you to receive CLE credit. First, confirm that your provider has not sought and will not seek accreditation of the course. If the provider won’t accredit the course, follow these steps to seek accreditation.
Courses may be accredited after the attorney has participated in the session.
Finally, if you are licensed and compliant in another approved jurisdiction, you may qualify for the Comity Compliance exemption. This allows you to use CLE compliance in another approved state to meet Tennessee’s CLE requirements. The list of jurisdictions that are eligible for comity compliance may be found here.
