California attorneys must complete a minimum of 25 credit hours of approved continuing legal education activities every 3 years including at least 4 hours of Ethics, 1 hour of Substance Abuse Prevention and 2 hours of Elimination of Bias. Additionally, at least one of the hours in Elimination of Bias must be an approved Implicit Bias program.

**The State Bar of California is implementing changes to the MCLE course requirements effective October 1, 2023. Beginning with the compliance period ending March 29, 2025, licensees will be required to also complete and report compliance on the following new subfields:
Technology in the Practice of Law (one credit)
Civility in the Legal Profession (one credit)
Competence (Increased from one credit to two)
California attorneys may earn all 25 hours with the National Academy of Continuing Legal Education. Our Online and iOS/Android App platforms are automatically deemed participatory and our Audio CDs, DVDs, USB Stick, and MP3/MP4 downloaded courses may also be taken in participatory form as well.
California MCLE rules do not allow carryover. Credit for participating in a CLE activity may not be earned forward from one compliance period to another.
Members are required to comply online under “My State Bar Profile” www.calbar.ca.gov by attesting under penalty of perjury that the member has complied with the education requirement or is exempt and the nature of the exemption. Attorneys who are unable to comply online must contact the State Bar’s Member Services Center 888-800-3400.

About This Course
It has been several months since the release of ChatGPT and its passage of the Uniform Bar Exam
with flying colors. Experts everywhere are projecting how generative AI is going to replace many
lawyers in the next few years. Is generative AI going to change the way lawyers do business? “Yes.”
Will lawyers lose their jobs to generative AI applications? “Maybe.” The true answer here depends
on a lawyer’s mindset and preparation.
Let’s be clear, lawyers do not need to learn to code. However, we do need to understand certain AI
basics. This course is going to dispel the hype, by leaning into what lawyers do best, namely,
deconstructing the facts and getting to the bottom of things. In this course we will survey how AI is
created, how AI and law overlap and diverge, the regulatory response to AI, and more. We will
tackle this new technology from our unique vantage point, by “thinking like lawyers” who are simply
faced with a new fact pattern.
