About the Course: In 1996
the Supreme Court of Texas mandated that all lawyers licensed (active or
inactive status) in the state of Texas take a four-hour professionalism course
entitled A Guide to the Basics of Law Practice not later than twelve (12) months
of being licensed. The course is offered as a live program numerous times
throughout the year or may be taken online by selecting four of the one-hour
program segments listed below. The course qualifies for 4 hours of
ethics/professional responsibility/participatory MCLE credit with the State Bar
of Texas MCLE Department.
If you are choosing to take the course online, you must select one segment from
each of the four categories listed below. The course fee is $35 per credit hour.
Four hours are required for the course. If you are taking the course prior to
the court-mandated deadline (no later than 12 months after being licensed in
Texas), the course fee is $140. If you have missed the deadline, you must pay an
additional $150 administrative late fee to receive credit for the course. Your
total fee will be $290. You must complete the online course within ninety days after registration. There are no exceptions to this time limit. You will be
required to re-register and pay for the course again if you do not complete all
four online segments within the ninety day period.
