GENERAL REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMATION All active members, judicial members classified as administrative law judges, military lawyers admitted under APR 8(g) and house counsel admitted under APR 8(f) must earn and report MCLE credits. WSBA members are divided into three MCLE reporting groups based upon year of admission. The reporting period is three years. Newly admitted members are exempt from completing and certifying CLE credits for the year of their admission and the following calendar year; however, any credits earned on or after the date of admission may be approved for MCLE credit. Login to www.mywsba.org and go to MCLE under My Profile to find out which reporting group you are in. Credit Requirements At least 45 total credits of MCLE Board approved CLE activities must be earned every three years, including a minimum of 22.5 live credits and a minimum of 6 ethics credits. All required credits must be completed by December 31 of the last year of your reporting period. [APR 11.2(a)] Courses must meet the requirements of APR 11 to be approved, but they do not need to be taken in Washington state. Many courses are offered around the world that meet the requirements of APR 11. "Live" courses are held at a specific time; they are not pre-recorded. During the course, attendees have the opportunity to ask questions of the instructor(s) and hear the questions of others in real-time. Live courses include teleconferences, webinars and webcasts, as well as traditional in-person events. "A/V" courses are pre-recorded CLE courses. These courses are the only type that can be used for earning "self study" credits. A/V courses include audio and video tapes, compact discs, DVDs, archived web casts, and other media that include the soundtrack of an MCLE Board-approved course presentation. These programs cannot be more than five years old from the date of recording, except MCLE Board-approved "skills-based" courses. Written materials must be included with the A/V program and reviewed by the applicant to earn credit. Written materials must be purchased by each member, when required by the sponsor, to claim CLE credit for listening to or viewing an A/V program borrowed from another party. "Ethics" courses, and sessions of larger courses devoted exclusively to ethics, must meet the specific requirements of APR 11 Regulation 101(g) to be considered for ethics credit. "Read-only" and "read-and-test" courses are not accreditable in Washington. Carry-over Credits Carry-over credits from the previous reporting period may be used to meet the requirements of the current reporting period. If the total of your current reporting period credits exceeds 45, you may carry-over a maximum of 15 credits towards your next reporting period. Of these 15 credits, WSBA Member Guide to MCLE Revised January 2014 1

up to 2 can be ethics credits and up to 5 can be A/V credits. No credits will be carried over if a Comity Certificate of MCLE Compliance from a comity state is used for compliance certification or if you were exempt from the compliance requirements for a reporting period. MCLE CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENT You must certify ( report ) your MCLE credits by February 1 of the year following the end of your reporting period (or the next business day, if February 1 is on a weekend). [APR 11.6(b)]. Your online roster showing credit compliance is not a substitute for certifying MCLE compliance [APR 11.6(b)]. You must complete the Online Certification or complete and submit the paper Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Certification (C2) form that is in your license packet. Seeking Approval for MCLE Credit When Due to Certify All activities that you list on your C2 form must be Washington MCLE Board approved and have an Activity ID number. This number is listed in your online MCLE roster and is assigned at the time of application. If you have taken a course that is not yet approved by the MCLE Board, submit a Form 1 Application for Approval of CLE Activity ( Form 1 ) by December 31 to ensure that it is approved before your certification is due. If you submit your Form 1 after December 31, the Form 1 may not be processed in time for you to have enough credits to certify online by the deadline. If this is the case, you must submit by the deadline the paper MCLE Certification (C2) form that is in your license packet. Add a note that you have submitted a Form 1. Indicate if you submitted the Form 1 by paper or online. MCLE Late Fees Late fees are assessed when: Credits are not completed by December 31 of the last year of your reporting period; and/or Credits are not certified by February 1. The late fee for the first reporting period of non-compliance is $150 and increases by $300 for each consecutive reporting period of non-compliance. You may pay your late fee online: Access your online MCLE roster page. Click the "Pay Late Fee Online" link at the bottom of your roster page. WSBA Member Guide to MCLE Revised January 2014 2

Fill in the fields in the "Payment Information" section of the screen. Click "Make Payment" MCLE Comity for Members Licensed in OR, ID or UT If you are an Active member of the WSBA and your primary office for the practice of law is outside of Washington, and if you are a member of the Oregon, Idaho, or Utah state bars ("comity" states), you may meet your Washington MCLE credit requirements via comity [APR 11 Regulation 112]. To do this, three requirements must be met no later than February 1 following the end of your reporting period. You will not be deemed compliant in Washington until all are completed. 1. Submit a "Comity Certificate of MCLE Compliance" from your comity state bar office. This is proof of current MCLE compliance in your comity state. It is the only form of proof that will be accepted if you want to meet your Washington credit compliance requirements via comity. (See the note below for the comity state contact information.) 2. Pay a $25 service fee for the "Comity Certificate of MCLE Compliance" being submitted. You may also pay this online after we process the forms and the C2 Data Complete shows Yes in the Reporting Period Summary box on your online MCLE roster page. To pay, click on the Pay $25 Comity Service Fee Online link just above the Reporting Period Summary. Your Washington state and your comity state reporting periods do not need to be identical. To meet compliance requirements in Washington your Comity Certificate of MCLE Compliance from the comity state must show that you met the MCLE compliance requirements for your most recent reporting period in that state. Note: A "Certificate of Good Standing" or a list of courses taken to meet your comity state's credit compliance requirements is not acceptable for fulfilling the comity requirements. A "Comity Certificate of MCLE Compliance" signed by the state MCLE administrator may be obtained by contacting the MCLE offices in the states listed below: Oregon Denise Cline, MCLE Administrator, at dcline@osbar.org or at 503-620-0222, or tollfree in Oregon 800-452-8260, ext. 315. Idaho The Membership Department at 208-334-4500 or astrauser@isb.idaho.gov. Utah The Utah MCLE Department at 801-531-9077 or mcle@utahbar.org. Hardship Extension or Waiver If you will not be able to complete your credits and certify by February 1, you may request a petition for an extension or waiver based on undue hardship, age or disability. [APR 11.6(c)(4) and APR 11 Regulation 107(a)]. Follow these procedures: WSBA Member Guide to MCLE Revised January 2014 3

File a paper MCLE Certification (C2) form by February 1 listing the credits earned to date. You must do this even though you have not completed the credit requirements. Request a petition form by contacting the WSBA Service Center and asking to be forwarded to an MCLE Analyst. Email questions@wsba.org or call 800-945-9722 or 206-443-9722. Submit a petition to the MCLE Board by February 1. Provide a complete explanation of the reason that you need an extension. You will be notified of the decision on the petition by late March. If you complete any or all of the credits prior to the decision on the petition, file a Supplemental CLE Certification Form listing all subsequent credits earned for compliance. [APR 11.6(b)] ACTIVITY/COURSE APPROVAL AND ATTENDANCE PROCESS All courses or activities must be Washington MCLE Board approved and have an Activity ID number. For live seminars, the sponsor of the activity, in most cases, will apply for approval and will report attendance within 30 days. However, for some out-of-state courses from smaller CLE providers, you may need to apply for approval and credit. For pre-recorded A/V programs, the sponsor, in most cases, will apply for approval. However, you need to add the program to your roster and report the credits you earned for taking the program and the date(s) you listened to or viewed the A/V program. Note: You may earn only eight credits per day. To add a course, access your online MCLE roster by logging into www.mywsba.org. Use the Add Activity link to find out if the course is already approved. If it is not, you will need to apply for approval using the Form 1 link at the bottom of the search page. Include a detailed time schedule or agenda including all start times and end times for each session and break. Do not send course materials or handouts. These will be requested if needed to determine approval. Check your MCLE roster periodically to find out if the activity has been approved or if additional information is required. Credits approved for a course represent the total number of attendance credits that can be claimed for the course. One MCLE credit may be claimed for each 60 minutes of participation in an approved activity. Time periods spent on course registration, introductions, breaks, and business meetings are not included in activity approval and may not be counted. After the course is approved, you are responsible for making appropriate adjustments to your records when the actual time spent in an approved activity is less than the maximum approved credit-hours. Adjustments must be made for late arrival, early departure or other periods of absence or non-participation. You may edit the credits by clicking on the "Edit/Delete" link to the right of the activity in your online roster. WSBA Member Guide to MCLE Revised January 2014 4

In-House CLE You may not submit a Form 1 for in-house CLE sponsored by private law firms or in-house legal departments that have offices in Washington state if you are employed by or associated with that sponsor. The sponsor for in-house CLE must seek approval and report attendance. Course Approval for Members Residing Abroad If you are residing outside of the U.S., you must still comply with MCLE requirements. You may earn credit for programs outside the United States, including courses concerning laws of jurisdictions outside the United States, if those courses are approved for credit by the MCLE Board. If standard live CLE courses are unavailable, you may earn credit for courses that do not fully meet the standards of the MCLE regulations and which would not otherwise be approved if offered within the United States. In determining whether to grant credit for such courses, the MCLE Board will consider, among other things, the availability of courses in the area involved and your good faith attempts to comply with the requirements of APR 11 and the MCLE regulations. With approval from the MCLE Board, you may earn a maximum of 45 credits per reporting period through approved A/V courses (waiving the live credit requirement) or by attending nonstandard live CLE programs developed and presented by lawyers in the foreign jurisdiction when no reasonable opportunities exist for attendance at standard live in-person or live webcast CLE programs. Send a written request to the MCLE Board if a waiver of the live credit requirement or permission to be granted credit for taking non-standard live CLE programs in a foreign jurisdiction is needed. Include a detailed description of your circumstances for each type of request. The request can be sent to the MCLE Board, Washington State Bar Association, 1325 4th Ave., Seattle, WA 98101-2539 or e-mailed to questions@wsba.org.

Visit Public-Service- Opportunities for additional information. Preparation Time for Presenter or a Panelist If you have presented material at a CLE activity as a speaker or panelist, you can receive MCLE credit in two ways: 1. Attendance Credit The time spent actually presenting material at the event is treated exactly the same as if you were attending. WSBA Member Guide to MCLE Revised January 2014 10

2. Preparation Time Credit You may also receive MCLE credit for the time spent in preparation for that individual or panel presentation. Apply for Preparation Time Online: The first step is to have the sponsor report your attendance at the activity. If the sponsor does not report your attendance within 30 days of the end date of the course you may add it to your roster (if it is already approved in our system) or apply to have it approved by submitting a Form 1 application. After your attendance has been added to your online roster, you may apply for preparation time credit. You may receive one hour of "prep time" for each hour actually spent in preparation for substantive presentation (not organizational aspects of the activity). Prep Time is limited to a maximum of 10 credits per activity for both presenters and panelists. In addition, a lawyer may earn credit only once for teaching or participating in the same accredited course, regardless of the number of times the course is presented. (APR 11 Regulation 103(d)). 1. From your online MCLE roster page, click on "Add Activity." 2. Click on the "Speaker or Panelist Prep Credit" Form 1 link. 3. Select the course at which you presented. 4.

Writing Credit for Published Legal Works Credit for writing works for the education of the bar (e.g., law textbooks or law review articles) published by a recognized publisher of legal works is granted on a case-by-case basis. Applications for writing credit, along with the written work, are reviewed directly by the MCLE Board. The number of actual hours claimed should be based on the number of hours spent in preparing the material; the maximum number of credits that may be claimed is ten. Apply for Writing Credit Online: 1. From your online MCLE roster page, click on "Add Activity." 2. Click on the "Writing Credit" Form 1 link, complete the Form 1, click on "Submit," and note the Form 1 Activity ID number. 3. Write the Form 1 Activity ID number on the writing submission. 4. Mail a copy of the written work to the MCLE Board, Washington State Bar Association, 1325 4th Ave., Seattle, WA 98101-2539. Failure to indicate your Activity ID number with your written submission will substantially delay the Form 1 processing. 5. Follow procedures in Process After Submitting a Form 1 Application. Law School Courses Credit for Attending Under APR 11 Regulation 103, you may earn one credit for each 60 minutes of instructed class time you attend in law school courses at the J.D. or advanced education level.

how to successfully take the bar exam itself (e.g. how to write good answers to bar exam questions). Nexus Credit You may earn credits for actually attending, teaching, or participating at a course that does not qualify for approval under the MCLE regulations and does not directly deal with the practice of law but that is substantially related to your area of practice (e.g., medical courses for medical malpractice practitioners). To earn nexus credits, you must demonstrate in a statement submitted on the Form 1 course approval application that the topic, depth, and skill level will improve your competence to practice law. RETENTION AND RECORDS Retention Period for Course Materials, Agendas, and Certificates of Attendance After the MCLE Board has approved the course, it generally will not request the associated written materials from you, so you should keep them according to your own need.
