South Carolina lawyers will be allowed to take all of their CLE courses online through at least the end of February 2022, the state’s Supreme Court has announced, extending a waiver of its limits on online CLE in light of the pandemic.
Typically, South Carolina attorneys can receive credit for no more than eight hours of online CLE in one reporting year. That limit was waived for the 2020-2021 reporting year, and after consultation with the Commission on Continuing Legal Education and Specialization—and based on the continued development of issues caused by COVID-19 and a potential lack of available in-person courses—the Supreme Court opted to continue the waiver for the 2021-2022 reporting year.
