In addition to CLE course formats, PBI CLE courses are also assigned certain types of specialized credits. Most jurisdictions require a combination of credit types, and many courses include multiple types of credits within a single CLE. As you view courses in our catalog, you can sort and filter by specific credit types to ensure you’re checking all the boxes on your compliance. Credit types, listed per jurisdiction, can also be viewed by clicking the “Credits” dropdown on any CLE course listing. Here a few examples of CLE credit types that you’ll find in our collection:
General/Substantive
This catch-all credit type generally is for CLE hours that are informational, without a special credit focus like Ethics or DEI (more info below).
Ethics
Ethics credits are one specific credit type required by some jurisdictions to maintain CLE compliance. Ethics courses typically address attorney and legal ethics best practices.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)
DEI CLE requirements are increasingly common, and just as the name indicates, these courses will have a focus on understanding the importance of diversity and inclusion in the practice of law.
Technology
Just as the name indicates, technology credits are required by some jurisdictions to ensure that attorneys stay up-to-date and in the know about technology and its impact on the practice of law.
