Coverage
What counts as California Technology CLE
California accepts coursework across these areas toward the 1-hour Technology requirement.
AI in Legal Practice
How generative AI and machine learning are being used in legal research, document review, contract analysis, and the evidence questions emerging in trial practice.
Cybersecurity & Data Protection
Encryption, access controls, vendor diligence, and the duty of competence under Rule 1.1 as applied to client data — the rules every California firm should know.
E-Discovery & Document Review
Modern e-discovery workflows, predictive coding and TAR, the proportionality framework under Cal. Code Civ. Proc., and the Rule 26(f) parallel.
Remote Proceedings & Virtual Courts
Virtual hearings, remote depositions, video conferencing under California's Code of Civil Procedure, and the rules governing technology in court proceedings.
Cloud Services & Practice Management
Evaluating cloud providers and SaaS tools used in legal practice, the contractual safeguards firms should require, and the supervisory rules that apply.
Technological Competence Under Rule 1.1
California's adopted ABA comment that competence includes keeping abreast of changes in technology — including the benefits and risks associated with relevant tech.
Compliance
How the California Technology requirement works
Active California attorneys must complete 1 hour of Technology within each 3-year MCLE compliance period — part of the 25-hour MCLE total. The category was adopted to recognize that competent representation increasingly requires fluency with the tools and risks of modern legal practice.
The category is intentionally broad: AI, cybersecurity, e-discovery, cloud services, secure communications, and the broader duty of technological competence under Rule 1.1. Any approved course in these areas counts toward the 1-hour requirement.
California is a self-reporting state. TalksOnLaw is an approved California MCLE provider (#17280); every Technology course on this page is pre-approved. Retain your certificates in case of audit.
