Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Credit
The Regulatory Group, Inc.'s training courses have never been denied CLE credit by any State bar. Because of the unpredictable nature of course attendance TRG does not apply for CLE credit for every course from every Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) state. However, many MCLE states provide reciprocity if a course has been approved for credit by another MCLE state. If you would like TRG to seek approval from your state bar for a course you plan to attend please contact us. Below is a list of the MCLE states that TRG has CLE information on.
