MCLE Rule Amendments. Several housekeeping changes which correctly identify “paralegal practitioners” as “licensed paralegal practitioners”; resolve questions raised by the Court during discussions on previously proposed changes; update, correct and clarify various provisions; and make rules for readmission after MCLE suspensions consistent with Court rules governing readmission after other types of administrative suspensions.
Please note that there were no changes to MCLE Rule 11-607, and 11-608.
