Legal Continuing Education Tracking Form

Legal professionals face strict continuing legal education (CLE) requirements to maintain their licenses and stay current with evolving legal standards. Managing these requirements across multiple attorneys, jurisdictions, and reporting periods can quickly become a compliance headache—especially when tracking is scattered across email, spreadsheets, and paper certificates.

This Legal Continuing Education Tracking Form gives law firms, legal departments, and solo practitioners a centralized system to log course details, calculate credits, monitor compliance deadlines, and store completion certificates—all in one place. Whether you're managing CLE requirements for a full firm or tracking your own professional development, this template keeps you audit-ready and on schedule.

Perfect for law firms, corporate legal departments, and solo practitioners who need to stay on top of mandatory and elective CLE requirements across multiple states and practice areas. The form captures course provider, date, subject area, credit type (ethics, general, specialized), and jurisdiction, with built-in fields for certificate uploads and compliance notes.

Once submitted, you can route CLE records to your practice management system, HR database, or compliance tracking spreadsheet using Stepper (stepper.io)—automating reminders for upcoming deadlines, flagging attorneys who are falling short of annual requirements, and generating compliance reports for bar associations or internal audits. Stepper can also trigger notifications to managing partners or HR when an attorney completes a required course or when a compliance deadline is approaching.

Built on Paperform, this template is fully customizable to match your firm's branding, CLE policies, and reporting requirements. Add conditional logic to route submissions by jurisdiction or attorney, integrate with your document management system for certificate storage, and use Paperform's reporting tools to track firm-wide CLE completion rates and identify gaps in coverage. SOC 2 Type II compliant and trusted by legal professionals worldwide.
