How do I get credit for viewing a pre-recorded CLE?
In order to receive credit for a pre-recorded CLE you must download and complete the NYS attorney affirmation form. Make sure to check the box for “Online Video” under “Format”. Throughout the recording, you will hear a code, or codes, depending on the length of the program. Simply record the code(s) on the form in the space provided, sign the affirmation, and return it to the FCBA director at [email protected]. A certificate of attendance will be provided as soon as possible. Attorneys should retain a copy of the affirmations and their New York CLE certificates of attendance. We also encourage you to fill out this survey to provide your evaluation of the CLE program.
Updated Rules for Newly Admitted Attorneys in New York (those in their first two years of practice): As of January 1, 2026, newly admitted New York attorneys can no longer earn CLE skills credits through individual, on-demand online courses or webinars. Skills credits must now be completed via traditional, in-person, in-classroom settings or through “group” interactive videoconferencing (VCN) where attendees gather in groups of at least two.
To view individual CLEs, you must be a member of the FCBA. Click here to be taken to our membership portal.
