Supreme Court Rules Table of Contents
On or before October 1 of each year, each lawyer admitted to
practice in the State, and not exempt under Rule 53.2(B)(1), (3), (4) or (6)
shall file a certificate of compliance with the NHMCLE Board, in such form as
the board shall prescribe, concerning either his or her completion of accredited
legal education during the previous reporting year, or the basis for his or her
claim of exemption under Rule 53.2(B)(2) or (5). Each such lawyer shall maintain
such records or certificates of attendance as may be required to substantiate
his or her compliance or exemption for a period of two (2) years following the
close of a reporting year. The NHMCLE Board shall assess each lawyer
admitted to practice who is not exempt under Rule 53.2(B) an annual fee, in an
amount approved by the Supreme Court, to support the NHMCLE Board's operations.
Lawyers exempt under Rule 53.2(B) who wish to claim
NHMCLE credit for activities completed during a reporting year for which such
exemption applies (e.g., for purposes of carrying over such credits pursuant to
Rule 53.1(D)) may do so by either (1) filing a certificate of compliance for the
reporting year in which the activity was completed, or (2) reporting such
activities on the certificate of compliance filed for the following reporting
year if no exemption is then available.
