Is there a special requirement for newly admitted attorneys?
Yes, attorneys admitted in the December admission ceremony have a 24-credit requirement due by December 31 of the year which is two years following admission. The CLE requirement for a newly admitted attorney begins on January 1st of the year after which he/she is admitted to the Delaware bar. As to any attorney admitted after December 1, 2015, within four years of the start of the attorney's CLE requirement (i.e., two compliance periods) the attorney MUST attend the following seven Fundamentals programs, available only through the Delaware State Bar Association: (1) Fundamentals of Lawyer-Client Relations; (2) Fundamentals of Family Law; (3) Fundamentals of Real Estate; (4) Fundamentals of Civil Litigation; (5) Fundamentals of Will Drafting and Estate Administration; (6) Fundamentals of Law Practice Management and Technology; and (7) Fundamentals of Criminal Law and Procedure. Attendance at these programs shall be credited towards the attorney's minimum continuing legal education requirements for the compliance period. The Fundamentals requirement is in addition to the required attendance at the Court's Pre-Admission Conference prior to being admitted to the Delaware Bar.
Does Attorney Credits offer courses for newly admitted attorneys?
The Fundamentals courses are only offered by the Delaware State Bar Association.
