LAWYERS WHO HAVE ATTAINED OR ARE APPROACHING SENIOR COUNSELOR STATUS: Pursuant to Supreme Court Rule 6.01(d), lawyers who have practiced law for 50 years or who have reached the age of 75 years qualify for the honorary title of Senior Counselor. While Senior Counselors are exempt from enrollment fees upon obtaining Senior Counselor status, MCLE compliance and filing obligations for retired lawyers or lawyers with the Senior Counselor title continue to be determined by licensure status.
Lawyers who maintain an active license to practice must continue to file a MCLE Annual Report. If you maintain an active license but have not practiced law in Missouri during the compliance period, you may claim an exemption from completing MCLE hours, but must file an online MCLE Annual Report in order to claim the exemption. Lawyers with an inactive license are not required to complete or file an MCLE Annual Report.
REPORTING INFORMATION FOR 2025-2026 COMPLIANCE PERIOD: The July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026, compliance period will end on June 30, 2026. All CLE credits must be earned by June 30, and the MCLE annual report filed by July 31, 2026.
