# [CLE Alert: Updated CLE Requirements for Utah Attorneys](https://blog.lawline.com/cle-alert-updated-cle-requirements-for-utah-attorneys)

Effective May 1, 2021, Utah is moving to a one year reporting cycle and has changed its CLE requirement to be 12 credits per year including at least 1 [Ethics](https://www.lawline.com/cle/utah/courses/credit-ethics?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=faculty_partnership&utm_content=UtahCLERuleChange) and 1 [Professionalism](https://www.lawline.com/cle/utah/courses/credit-professionalism?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=faculty_partnership&utm_content=UtahCLERuleChange). Previously, Utah attorneys had a two year reporting cycle that consisted of 24 credits including 2 Ethics and 1 Professionalism. 

Utah attorneys with a compliance reporting period of July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2021 will start the one-year compliance cycle on July 1, 2021 for the 2021-2022 reporting year. Utah attorneys with a compliance reporting period of July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2022 will still complete 24 credit hours and then will start the one year compliance cycle on July 1, 2022, for the 2022-2023 reporting year.

In addition, Utah has added a new format called Verified E-CLE which counts as a Live format.

The state has also added a paralegal requirement and adjusted their speaking, writing, etc. credit maximums to reflect the new one year cycle.

Utah attorneys can complete half of their CLE requirement through Lawline’s catalog of [over 100 Utah accredited courses](https://www.lawline.com/cle/utah/courses?utm_source=blog&utm_campaign=faculty_partnership&utm_content=UtahCLERuleChange). 

**Note:** There is a temporary rule change due to the COVID-19 that allows Utah attorneys to complete their full requirement via On Demand courses for the 2019-2021 cycle.
