Navigation Supreme Court reduces the number of mandatory CLE hours
Florida Bar members will begin feeling the impact of a recent Supreme Court order that revises continuing legal education requirements beginning in January, according to Bar staff.
“The important thing for lawyers to know is the effective date of the order is January 8, 2024,” said Florida Bar Programs Division Director Terry Hill. “There will be lots of communication, lots of reminders.”
Responding to a Bar special committee’s recommendations for enhancing legal professionalism, justices in a July 6 order adopted a new Code for Resolving Professionalism Referrals and amended the Professionalism Expectations. A third component of the order amends Bar Rule 6-10.3 (Minimum Continuing Legal Education Standards).
