HOW TO CALCULATE CLE

A session is available for CLE credit only if eligible speaker materials were provided. See the speaker materials below.

A “credit hour” is sixty minutes actually spent in an MCLE activity, less any time for breaks or other activities that lack educational content. A credit hour is reported to the nearest quarter hour in decimals.

If you attended only the May 13 sessions, you are eligible for up to 4.50 CLE credits (0.75 x 6). Each session was 50 minutes long (0.75 CLE credit). Six sessions provided materials.

If you attended only the May 14 sessions, you are eligible for up to 2.25 CLE credits (0.75 x3). Each session was 50 minutes long (0.75 CLE credit). Two sessions provided materials, and three of the five breakout discussions also provided materials. If you attended a breakout session that provided materials, you are eligible for 2.25 CLE credits. If you attended a breakout session that did not provide materials, you are eligible for 1.50 CLE credits.

If you attended the May 13 & 14 sessions, including a May 14 breakout session that provided materials, you are eligible for 6.75 CLE credits.

If you attended the May 13 & 14 sessions, but your May 14 breakout session did not provide materials, you are eligible for 6.0 CLE credits.

How to calculate speaker credit: A speaker should be awarded their actual speaking time multiplied by four. For example, a speaker who speaks for 15 minutes would receive 1 hour of speaking credit (i.e., 0.25 hours x 4 = 1.00 hour speaking credit). Additionally, the speaker credit should be rounded to the nearest quarter-hour if necessary. For example, a speaker who speaks for 10 minutes should receive 45 minutes of speaking credit (i.e., 10 minutes x 4 rounded up to the nearest quarter-hour = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours).

Additionally, a speaker receives credit for their attendance time less their speaking time. As an example, a speaker who speaks for 15 minutes during a 1-hour program would only be eligible for 45 minutes of attendance credit (i.e., 60 minutes of program time minus 15 minutes of speaking time = 45 minutes or 0.75 hours).
