Interim NHMCLE Reports Go To Attorneys
The Supreme Court NHMCLE Board is preparing to introduce the new filing process for the reporting year ending June 30, 2006. There are a number of significant changes designed to make it easier for attorneys subject to SC Rule 53 to comply with the rule.
A major innovation this year is that attorneys will be mailed a compilation of their CLE attendance as reported from sponsors, and as requested by lawyers through application. These courses are listed in each lawyer’s online CLE record; that record can be reviewed in the For Members area of www.nhbar.org NHMCLE Attorney Records. (Attorneys must have an e-mail address on file with the NHBA to access the NHMCLE attorney records area. E-mail addresses should be sent to: NHBAinfo@nhbar.org. Once the address has been entered, the lawyer will be able to access the NHMCLE attorney records area, which is a separately maintained Web site.)
When attorneys receive the Interim Report of CLE Credit (to be mailed later this month), they will have the opportunity to determine whether they have the credits necessary to comply with Supreme Court Rule 53 requirement. If the Interim Report does not include courses you have taken, the mailing will have instructions on how to make revisions or additions. Additional information about the final 2006 filing process will also be outlined.
If lawyers have taken courses presented by an Annual Sponsor (see list) that do not appear in their online records, they should contact sponsors to request that attendance be reported to NHMCLE. If a lawyer has taken courses by providers that do not appear on the Annual Sponsor list, the attorney should submit an Attorney Credit Application form to NHMCLE within 30 days of a program’s conclusion. The application may be requested from the NHMCLE office or downloaded from the NHMCLE section of the NHBA’s Web site. (The NHBA provides administrative support to the Court for NHMCLE Rule 53 administration.
