Self-Study/On-Demand credits
Starting from the compliance year 2024, the self-study cap has been removed. This means that all New Mexico attorneys can now earn their 12 CLE hour requirements through on-demand. 

The Rule says, however, that to be eligible for credit “the pre-recorded course must be pre-approved by the board and must include procedures and/or technology that allows the course provider to independently verify an attorney’s attendance and attentiveness during the program.” Rule18-204(c)(2) NMRA.
