The Utah Supreme Court’s Board of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE Board) proposes amending the MCLE rules listed below. On the whole, these amendments update terminology, replacing \u201cLive CLE\u201d with \u201cVerified CLE\u201d and \u201cSelf-Study CLE\u201d with \u201cElective CLE.\u201d Rule 14-404 also clarifies some issues around the New Lawyer Training Program. And Rule 14-419 offers a new avenue for Bar licensees to obtain CLE credit: pro bono work.<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Pro bono cases inherently contain an educational component because they often fall outside the licensee’s normal practice area. And there is always a large need for volunteers.\u00a0As such, the Judicial Council\u2019s Standing Committee on Resources for Self-represented Parties and the Bar’s Access to Justice Commission proposed allowing CLE credit to be given for pro bono service under the conditions identified in Rule 14-419.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
The MCLE Board has, in turn, proposed a two-year pilot project to test whether the purposes for which CLE credit is given\u2014providing education that contributes directly to a licensee\u2019s competence, skills, professionalism, and civility\u2014will be realized in Rule 14-419, and also whether such a rule will incentivize licensees to perform more pro bono services.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
