Attorneys must devote a specified portion of their 45 hour requirement to courses approved for those types of credit. Other special rules apply as well. Upon application, the Board accredits courses presented by independent sponsors and individual law firms. The Board compares the course description and supporting material with the requirements set out in the Rules, and awards credit hours accordingly. Attorneys are responsible for keeping their own attendance records.
Attorneys certify their compliance by filing affidavits listing the courses they have attended.
The Board receives no public funding. Operations are financed through an annual levy on all licensed attorneys, and from late filing charges.
