Course Search tips:
1. Use the course event code.
2. If you do not know the event code, use minimal search criteria. Use one key word from the title and the event start date (leaving all other fields blank). Less information yield better results.
3. If your search attempts are unsuccessful, then you may wish to contact the course sponsor and ask if the sponsor sought CLE credit in Minnesota.
Lawyers may request a fee waiver by submitting a written request to the Board office stating the basis for the request.
The Continuing Legal Education Rules state:
Waivers of strict compliance [may be made] in cases of hardship or other compelling reasons.” (Rule 3D(1))
The lawyer should include in the request for waiver sufficient information for the Board office to make a determination. Factors that the Board office considers include the following:
The initial determination is made by Board office staff. The lawyer may appeal the staff’s determination to the Director. The lawyer may appeal the Director’s determination to the Board of Continuing Legal Education by submitting a written request within 10 business days of receipt of the Director’s determination.
