Lawyers who have NOT responded to their pink Certificates of Compliance now owe a $150 late filing fee when they file their completed CLE credits. Instructions to respond are in paragraph 2 on the reverse side of the pink Certificate. If you do not have attendance records for the courses you completed, contact the sponsor to request a duplicate for your records. You are required to maintain these files for 3 years, per SC Rule 53.
LATE FILING FEESOn Mar 3, 2010, the late fee increased to $450. Lawyers delinquent at this time will have their names sent to the NH Supreme Court with a request for their suspension.
Click here for information mailed with your CertificatePINK CERTIFICATES have been sent to lawyers NOT in compliance by June 30, 2009. These lawyers have to read the reverse side of their Certificates for instructions to show their compliance and respond before October 1, 2009 to avoid late filing fees. Those who miss the deadline or file incomplete responses will be assessed the $50 late filing fee. Continued non- compliance results in additional late fees and a request to the NH Supreme Court for the lawyer's suspension from practice.

A Reminder to All Lawyers Who Are Taking CLE Programs: You cannot add courses to your online record. Check your online record 30 days after you request that your attendance be reported to be sure the Annual Sponsor has made it. If you take courses not presented by an Annual Sponsor, please submit the
Attorney Credit Application Form with attachments within 30 days of course completion to have the course entered into your record, keeping it up to date as the compliance year progresses. See the list of Annual Sponsors below.
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.
