TRACK YOUR HOURS USING CE BROKER:
Register at https://www.cebroker.com/mi/account/basic to create a free CE Broker account. As your credits are uploaded you will be able to see your current compliance status in real time when you are logged into your account.
Upload your proofs of completion to your account. Some providers will do this automatically but if you do not see that you received credit within 1-2 weeks of the event you can upload proof on your own so that your account is properly credited. MIDC will add your credits if you have providers email notices of completion to lara-midc-cle@michigan.gov but it is your responsibility to make sure that your account is accurate and current as of December 31st of each year. Please retain copies of your proof of completion for your records in case issues arise.
If you are unable to create an account, you need to be added to the MIDC list by the body that you provide indigent defense through (i.e. public defender's office or MAAC) as they submit lists quarterly to MIDC and then CE Broker adds to their roster once those lists are updated. While you are waiting to be added just save your certificates of completion and you can load them all at once when your account has been created.
Note that there are paid options for CE Broker but those are not required for you to track your hours. You are free to sign up for those options at your own discretion but the free account is all that you need and no credit card information is required.
OTHER NOTES:
All Macomb Bar / CDAM trainings are Michigan Indigent Defense (MIDC) approved.
Attorneys with less than two years experience are required to complete 16 hours of SKILLS training and 12 ANNUAL hours to be eligible for appointments.
Attorneys with more than two years experience are required to complete a minimum of 12 ANNUAL hours.
CLE hours are recorded annually, January 1 through December 31.
CLE hours cannot be banked or carried over to the next calendar year.
All attorneys begin at 0 hours on January 1.
It is advised to confirm that trainings are MIDC approved before taking the training if it is not one of the trainings listed above.
Skills Training via Zoom
Skills Training sessions are divided into multiple Zoom days so registrants must be committed to attending each day. No single day registrations will be allowed and no refunds if an attorney registers but does not attend both days. This hands- on training will not be videotaped for post-training purchase/viewing. Only sixteen (16) attorneys are allowed in each training. If a training is full, please encourage your attorneys to sign up for the waitlist. Oftentimes there are last minute cancellations.
If you have participated in a seminar in the past, either in person or by video, that particular seminar will not count towards the required 12 annual hours. In other words, no repeats.
