Generally, you must report the credits yourself to your local state's bar association. Please check with your locality. Sometimes, such as in Georgia, you must pay a small fee per credit hour to your state's bar association to obtain credits, in addition to any other fees required by your state bar. This fee is 5 dollars in Georgia.<br />
