In Re: Amendments to Rules Regulating the Florida Bar - Continuing Legal Education

March 14, 2024

Summary

The court approved amendments to several Florida Bar rules to conform them to the previously reduced continuing legal education requirement of 30 hours and the mandatory two-credit-hour Florida Legal Professionalism course. The amendments also make corresponding changes to reinstatement, exemption, deferment, basic-skills, paralegal, and military-spouse continuing education provisions, with grammatical revisions for clarity and consistency. The amendments were made effective January 8, 2024.
