To participate, please send the information required above to the Commission on Continuing Legal Education at 200 W. Ninth Street, Suite 300-B, Wilmington, Delaware, 19801. The Supreme Court of Delaware ordered changes to CLE Rules effective July 1, 1999. Active attorneys must now complete 24 credit hours over a two-year period, including 4 credit hours in Enhanced Ethics. Senior attorneys, admitted to the Delaware Bar for at least 40 years, must complete 12 credit hours over a two-year period, including 2 credit hours in Enhanced Ethics. Active attorneys whose principal office is located within another mandatory CLE state, and who are required to comply with the CLE Rules of that state, must only certify so and need not meet any requirements specific to Delaware in the two-year period.
Inactive attorneys are exempt from the requirement.
Hours in excess of the requirement may be carried forward and applied to the succeeding two-year period only, except that no carryover credits can be applied to the Enhanced Ethics requirement. There is no limit to the number of credits which may be earned by attending live CLE programs open to all attorneys. Enhanced Ethics credits may be awarded to programs or portions of programs clearly devoted to Enhanced Ethics topics. Credits are reported to the Commission by the sponsor for accredited programs and a yearly Transcript will be generated by the Commission for mailing to the attorney with the Annual Registration documents. The attorney must return the signed copy of the Transcript, showing any changes.
