To be eligible for active status, inactive attorneys are required to complete up to 2 years of CLE missed while inactive. Only credits earned in the two years immediately preceding reinstatement shall be counted.
A suspended attorney is required to complete up to 5 years of CLE. Thus, if an attorney is suspended for 2 years, they must make up 2 years of CLE credit. If an attorney is suspended for 10 years, they must make up 5 years of CLE credit. Only credits earned in the five years immediately preceding reinstatement shall be counted.
Because the CLE Commission and the Board of Professional Responsibility are separate agencies, attorneys are also advised to check independently with the Board of Professional Responsibility on applicable provisions of the rules administered by that organization.
