(a) The State Bar shall request the California Supreme Court to amend Rule 9.31 of the California Rules of Court, relating to the mandatory continuing education program, to provide that one hour of the mandatory eight hours of legal education activities in legal ethics or law practice management, instead, may be satisfied by one hour of legal education activity in the civil and criminal remedies available for civil rights violations.
(b) This section shall not affect the requirement that all active licensees of the State Bar complete at least four hours of legal education activity in ethics within designated 36-month periods.
Notes
Requires the State Bar to ask the California Supreme Court to amend its continuing-education rule so one of the eight required hours in legal ethics or law-practice management may instead be satisfied by one hour on civil and criminal remedies for civil-rights violations. The change does not reduce the requirement of at least four ethics hours in designated 36-month periods.
