)RDER ITH TION FOR

‘Moon, C.J., for the court!)

 

upon consideration of the Verified Petition for Renewal
of Certificate of Specialization submitted by Petitioner Judith
Lee Sterling, Exhibits A and B, and the record, it appears
Petitioner Sterling has submitted insufficient proof that she
meets the requirements for recertification set out by Rule

1.13(g) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the State of Hawai'i

 

(SCH). Although Petitioner Sterling has submitted a copy of the
specialist certificate issued by an ABA accredited program, i.e.,
the National Elder Law Foundation (NELF), which is valid until
April 16, 2008, Petitioner Sterling has not provided (1) evidence
showing completion of at least six hours of ABA accredited
Continuing Legal Education courses in the subject area for each
of the five years preceding the application for renewal, and (2)

proof she has maintained certification by NELF, the ABA

 

considered by: Moon, C.J., Levinton, Nakayama, Acoba, and Duffy, 99.
accredited program by which certification was initially granted.
Having failed to demonstrate proof that Petitioner Sterling meets
the requirements of RSCH 1.13(9),

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the petition for renewal is
denied. This denial is without prejudice to: (1)
reconsideration upon submission of evidence Petitioner Sterling
has met the requirements of RSCH 1.13(g), within 30 days after
entry of this order, or, (2) after 30 days, submission of a
subsequent petition that includes the required proof.

DATED: Honolulu, Hawai'i, April 1, 2008.
