SC Rule 53 specifies that lawyers are required to maintain a file of their CLE course attendance records for 2 (two) years following compliance and these records have to be available. All course entries in their online records are subject to the annual audit.  If records are missing, request duplicates from program sponsors.

2009 COMPLIANCE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2009

CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE TO BE MAILED AT THE END OF AUGUST

WHITE CERTIFICATES: will be sent to lawyers who have completed their required credits by June 30, 2009 (so that the courses appear in their online records by August 1, 2009). The white Certificate of Compliance will show they have met the CLE requirement for 2009. These lawyers only have to review their Certificates for accuracy to be sure that all courses completed from July 1, 2008-June 30, 2009 appear correctly. No response is required unless corrections are necessary.

PINK CERTIFICATES: will be sent to lawyers NOT in compliance by June 30, 2009. THESE LAWYERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO SHOW THEIR COMPLIANCE BY FILING A COMPLETED CERTIFICATE BY OCTOBER 1, 2009. THOSE WHOSE FILINGS ARE INCOMPLETE OR WHO MISS THE DEADLINE ARE ASSESSED LATE FILING FEES. CONTINUED NON-COMPLIANCE RESULTS IN A REQUEST TO THE NH SUPREME COURT FOR THE LAWYER'S SUSPENSION FROM PRACTICE.

BLUE CERTIFICATES: will be sent to lawyers who are exempt from the CLE requirement for this compliance year. The purpose is to show if they will have any credits to carry forward to the next compliance period and to familiarize them with the online reporting requirements. NO RESPONSE IS REQUIRED unless corrections are necessary.
