The current 2 year c. e. cycle is January 1, 2023 thru December 31, 2024.  All c. e. credits are due by December 31, 2024. Failure to obtain all required CE credits before December 31, 2024 will subject a reporter’s license to suspension or revocation by the CSR Board.

You should review the main page of the website for all pre-approved seminars.

Both the LCRA and the VRLA (court reporter associations in Louisiana) seminars will turn in the State punch cards provided by the LA CSR BOARD for you.  All other seminars will require you to turn in your original proof of attendance.  Your original proof of attendance should be turned into the LA CSR BOARD office within 30 days after you receive it.

You are required to obtain a minimum of 12 c. e. credits with 4 of those credits mandatorily due in Louisiana Court Reporting Ethics and Board Rules and Regulations.
