Important Announcements

REMINDER

If your compliance period ended December 31, 2024, and you are not compliant you have until May 15, 2025 to cure your noncompliance. If you do not not cure the noncompliance by May 15, 2025, you will be assessed a $300 delinquency fee, plus $10 per business day thereafter until you submit proof of completion of the required credits.

CLE credit submission

All requests for CLE credit must be submitted by the attorney through their DESCLMS.org account. The Commission will no longer process any Attorneys Forms for CLE credit. Any forms sent to the Commission will be returned.

CLE Compliance Date

The new rules eliminate the provision for make-up plans and adopt a graduated delinquency-fee structure, culminating in administrative suspension for attorneys who remain noncompliant as of April 15 following the end of their compliance year. Specifically, attorneys who are not compliant by December 31 of their compliance year will be assessed a $150 penalty; not compliant by March 1 will be assessed an additional $150 penalty; not compliant by April 1 will be assessed an additional $200 penalty. Attorneys who are not compliant by April 15 will be administratively suspended.
