What are the general Alaska CLE rules?
If you are an active bar member, you are required to complete 3 hours of ethics CLE each year. In addition to the 3 hours of ethics, you are encouraged, but not required, to complete 9 additional hours of CLE each year. You are required to report whether or not you have completed at least 3 hours of ethics each year. You are required to report whether you have completed 9 additional hours or more of CLE. If you have completed less than 9 additional hours of CLE, you are required to report the estimated number of additional hours completed. The deadline for reporting is February 1 for the preceding calendar year. The next report is due February 1, 2011.
Incentives for VCLE: Only members who complete at least nine hours of VCLE are eligible to participate in the Alaska Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service. If a member does not complete at least nine hours of VCLE, that fact may be taken into account in any Bar disciplinary matter relating to the requirements of Alaska Rule of Professional Conduct 1.1. The Association shall make a member?s record of compliance with VCLE available to the Alaska Judicial Council for its consideration in connection with a member?s candidacy for any judicial office or other position for which the Council screens and nominates candidates. The Association shall publish annually, and make available to members of the public, a list of attorneys who have complied with this rule's MECLE requirements and satisfied this rule?s minimum recommendations for VCLE. The Association may adopt other incentives to encourage compliance with the VCLE recommendations.
