A LONG TIME COMIN'

The Hawaii Supreme Court adopted a continuing education rule for attorneys effective January 1, 2010. Rule 22 of the Rules of the Supreme Court establishes Mandatory Continuing Professional Education requirements and Voluntary Continuing Legal Education credits. Access to Justice is one of the subjects that will qualify for the required three hours of mandatory education. Pro bono service in the amount of three hours will satisfy up to three hours of the recommended nine hours of voluntary education credits.
