How does a provider calculate CLE credit?

The provider should submit the total number of minutes of actual instruction, exclusive of the introductory remarks, keynote speeches, breaks, meals, and any other segments that are not educational. That number of minutes will be divided by 50 to reach the correct amount of total credits for the course. Any minutes related to ethics or professionalism should be separated. Providers also should indicate if the course is eligible for certification credits in civil trial law, criminal trial law, matrimonial law, workers' compensation law, municipal court law, or the newly admitted attorney specified areas of law. For example, if a course is 180 minutes with 60 minutes of ethics, the course would be worth 3.6 credits, of which 1.2 qualifies for ethics. If the course subject is on custody or visitation and domestic relations, the course would also be worth 3.6 credits toward matrimonial law certification and may be eligible for the newly admitted attorney course area of New Jersey family law practice, depending on the level of difficulty of the course.
