The Rules Review Task Force and the Kansas Continuing Legal Education Commission are recommending changes to the rules governing CLE in Kansas.  The Kansas Supreme Court is accepting comments on the proposed CLE rule changes until September 15, 2010. 

Based on the recent Rule Review survey results, here is some information we thought would be helpful.  Please call our office with any questions regarding CLE accreditation.

DID YOU KNOW?

*  The Kansas CLE Commission is not a provider of CLE programming.  The Kansas Bar Association is a provider of CLE programming. 
*  Professional responsibility hours will carry forward as general credit once the annual requirement is met.
*  A provider posting pending on promotional material does not necessarily mean that the application has been submitted to the Commission.
*  For the initial review of a program for accreditation, all you need to submit is the application for approval of CLE activity and a copy of the time agenda.
*  Nearly 4,000 CLE programs around the world were approved for Kansas credit during the 2008-09 compliance period.

Nominations have closed for the 2010 Robert L. Gernon Award for Outstanding Service to Continuing Legal Education in Kansas.  Past recipients of this award.

Please remember that it is your responsibility to maintain a current address with the CLE Commission. CLE Rule 12.02. Verify your address by checking your online transcript. By using the address change link, you can file any change of address with the CLE Commission, the Attorney Registration Office and the US District Court.

If you are anticipating a military deployment, it is imperative that you notify Attorney Registration and the CLE Commission prior to deployment.

The Commission discourages the use of electronic devices for non-CLE purposes during an accredited CLE program.
