III CERTIFICATION OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE RULES FOR MANDATORY CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION
(for renewing attorneys only)
For the two-year reporting period ending June 30 of this year:
____ I have been on ACTIVE status and thus was required to complete 20 hours of accredited continuing
legal education, with at least 2 of those hours in legal ethics and no more than 10 of those hours in
“self-study,” as defined by the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.**
____ I satisfied the continuing legal education requirement.
____ I did not satisfy the continuing legal education requirement. I have filed, or will file within
10 days, a makeup plan with the Board of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.
____ I did not satisfy the continuing legal education requirement but am claiming INACTIVE
status for the upcoming reporting period that begins on July 1 of this year. I understand
that I will be placed on Special Waiver status and hence will be subject to the requirements
of Section 11(c) of the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education should I at any time
seek to be reinstated to ACTIVE status.
____ I have been on PRO BONO EMERITUS status and thus was required to complete 8 hours of
accredited continuing legal education, with at least 2 of those hours in legal ethics.**
____ I satisfied the continuing legal education requirement.
____ I did not satisfy the continuing legal education requirement. I have filed, or will file within
10 days, a makeup plan with the Board of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.

requirement.

but I am claiming ACTIVE status for the upcoming reporting period that begins on July 1 of this
year. Within the two years immediately preceding this July 1, I completed 20 hours of accredited
continuing legal education, with at least 2 of those hours in legal ethics and no more than 10 of
those hours in “self-study,” as defined by the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.**

IV LICENSING STATUS (for the upcoming reporting period**)
Please indicate the licensing status that you are claiming for the upcoming reporting period**.
____ ACTIVE: An attorney on active status is authorized to practice law in the State of Vermont and must
comply with the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.
____ INACTIVE: An attorney on inactive status is not authorized to practice law in the State of Vermont
and is exempt from compliance with the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, except
to the extent that those rules apply to attorneys who transfer to active status.
____ JUDICIAL: An attorney who is a Supreme Court Justice, Superior Judge, Magistrate, or Judicial
Bureau Hearing Officer has judicial status and is exempt from compliance with the Rules for
Mandatory Continuing Legal Education.
____ PRO BONO EMERITUS: An attorney on pro bono emeritus status is not authorized to practice law,
except to provide legal services without fee or expectation of fee, under the auspices of a nonprofit
organization, to persons of limited means or to charitable, religious, civic, community,
governmental, and educational organizations which are designed primarily to address the needs of
persons of limited means. An attorney on pro bono emeritus status is subject to the Rules for
Mandatory Continuing Legal Education, except that the attorney must complete at least 8 hours of
accredited continuing legal education, including at least 2 hours in ethics, during each 2-year
licensing period. AN ATTORNEY CLAIMING THIS STATUS FOR THE FIRST TIME MUST ALSO SUBMIT A
COMPLETED PRO BONO EMERITUS LICENSING STATEMENT. PLEASE ALSO REVIEW SECTION 11 OF
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER 41 FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF PRO BONO EMERITUS STATUS.
For Newly Admitted Attorneys: Note that requirements of the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal
Education (“MCLE”) are separate and in addition to your first-year continuing legal education requirements
specified in Rules 12 and 15 (although all continuing legal education courses taken to satisfy the Rule 12
and 15 first-year CLE requirements will count toward the MCLE requirement during your first reporting
period). Also, you are subject to the Rule 12 and 15 requirements regardless of the licensing status you are
claiming.

period begins on the date of admission and ends on June 30 of the second full year following the year of admission.
