CLE NEWS - Updated August 13, 2012

Changes to Program Rules and Regulations: The New York State CLE Board Regulations and Guidelines and the CLE Program Rules have been revised to reflect changes in pro bono CLE credit limits and calculation, and to include guidelines for the award of pro bono CLE credit for participation in the Attorney Emeritus Program.

The revised sections 1500.22(j) (redlined version) of the Program Rules and 3(D)(11) (redlined version) of the Regulations and Guidelines provide for an increase in the number of pro bono CLE credits that may be earned and a more favorable ratio for the calculation of pro bono CLE credit.

A new section 3(D)(12) in the Regulations and Guidelines relates to the award of pro bono CLE credit for legal services provided under the Attorney Emeritus Program.

Faculty Attorney Requirement: FAQs regarding the requirement that the faculty of every accredited program include at least one attorney in good standing may be found at Faculty Attorney FAQs.
