Are Extensions Allowed?
Rarely, if ever. In order to receive an extension a lawyer must show extraordinary circumstances that prohibited the attorney from attending CLE seminars during the three-year reporting period. A review of past Commission action indicates that extensions were granted only in situations involving prolonged illness. Losing one’s CLE files, simply not having sufficient hours, and the financial hardship created by the cost of seminars were all found to be insufficient reasons, and the requests were denied. Attorneys who believe they may qualify for an extension should contact the Commission in writing in July. A request for extension form will be mailed, and the attorney will more than likely be contacted by Commission staff to discuss options.
