Reminder for attorneys!
The Florida Supreme Court has approved an amendment to the Florida Bar rules that will, for the first time, allow lawyers to earn continuing legal education (CLE) credit for providing pro bono services. The court amended Rule 6-10.3 to allow Florida lawyers to earn one hour of general CLE credit for every hour of pro bono service up to five credit hours for each three-year reporting cycle. The change is effective Dec. 30, 2024, at 12:01 a.m.
As we assess the area’s short-term and long-term needs after last fall’s back-to-back storms, we are in need of local attorneys to help assist our neighbors with recovery. If you’d like to take on a pro bono case, please click here.
