Connecticut MCLE is self-reporting: attorneys certify compliance (12 credits/yr, incl. 2 ethics) on the annual registration form, with no per-course filing. False certification or failure to satisfy the rule is handled through the grievance/discipline system under the Rules of Professional Conduct; no fixed monetary MCLE penalty is published.Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Attorneys must maintain records proving MCLE compliance for at least 7 years (Practice Book §2-27A(d)) and produce them in the event of an audit or disciplinary investigation.
