On May 19, 2008, the Virginia Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) Board approved amendments to MCLE regulations 104 and 105 to provide for more timely receipt of applications for MCLE course approval. Effective immediately.
REGULATION 104
PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL OF PROGRAMS
(f) Any member seeking credit after attending, or any sponsor seeking approval after presenting a course or program, shall submit to the Board within 30 days after the date of the program all information called for on the Application for Approval of a Continuing Legal Education Course. The Board will then determine whether the program qualifies under these Regulations and, if so, how many credit hours are approved. The Board will promptly notify the applicant of its decision.
REGULATION 105
PROCEDURE FOR ACCREDITATION OF SPONSORS
(e) The approval procedure of Regulation 104 does not apply to accredited sponsors. An accredited sponsor must notify the Board at least thirty days two weeks in advance of a program of the name, date, location and credit hours allowable for a particular course, including, where appropriate, credit hours in the area of legal ethics or professionalism. The Board may request additional information regarding a course or program. The Board will provide the sponsor with copies of the Board’s Certification of Attendance and Certification of Teaching for each course or program and the sponsor shall make available, collect and transmit such forms in accordance with the requirements of Regulation 104(d).
