On your Attorney Profile Page scroll down to the Continuing Legal Education section. Select the compliance year you want to view. Click on “Show transcript.”
At the top of the transcript under your Current Compliance Status, it will state if you are compliant for your upcoming reporting period or what credits you still need to be compliant. If you are a Newly Admitted Attorney, admitted in the past four years, there also will be a reminder of your Fundamentals requirement deadline and a list of the Fundamentals will be at the bottom of your transcript.
Part A shows any carryover credits from your prior compliance period including in person, live credits.
Part B lists each course you attended and how many credits you received including how many were “ethics” credits and which were “in person, live” credits.
Part C lists each course and activity applied for and approved, and how many were “ethics” credits and which were “in person, live” credits.
Part D lists total credits earned and received including how many were “ethics” credits and how many were “in person, live” credits.
Fundamentals lists the seven Fundamental courses that a Newly Admitted Attorney, admitted in the past four years, must complete by the end of their first two compliance periods. The list will indicate which courses have been completed and which have not.
Answer: No. As of November 1, 2024, you no longer have to separately verify your CLE transcript. If your compliance period ended 12/31 of the previous year you must certify your CLE compliance by March 1 on your Annual Registration Statement.
Answer: Providers have 30 days after the end of a course to submit attendance lists. If the program was a national seminar or local to another jurisdiction, the provider may not have sought approval. Check the program catalog at www.desclms.org. If you do not see the program in the catalog, you must apply for credit yourself. Credit for activities such as pro bono, mock trial, Supreme Court appointment, is granted only upon application by the lawyer through their DESCLMS.org account.
Answer: Make sure all programs you have attended have been approved. If you do not see a program you attended on your transcript contact the provider. If the provider does not apply for Delaware credit you must apply for the credit through your DESCLMS.org account.
Answer: If this is your reporting year, YES! You must certify compliance on your Annual Registration Statement no later than March 1 or you will be assessed late fees, regardless of whether or not you have completed the credits in a timely manner.
