Other States

According the the ABA, the following states have no mandatory CLE requirement:

Connecticut
District of Columbia
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
South Dakota.

Attorneys there may still find CLE programs substantively useful, but I have not focused on finding free resources for those states in the absence of a requirement.
