The Ohio Supreme Court Commission on Continuing Legal Education issued sanctions for 194 attorneys who failed to comply with their CLE requirements.

Of these, 32 were suspended from the practice of law, either for being out of compliance for three consecutive reporting periods or for failing to comply for two consecutive periods and failing to pay their sanction for the last period.

The other 162 attorneys, who are not suspended, were given a sanction that ranges from $75 to $300.

Attorneys are required to complete a minimum of 24 CLE hours every two years.  Judges are required to complete a minimum of 40 CLE hours every two years.

Ohio’s attorneys are split into two groups according to their last names for reporting purposes, with one group required to earn the requisite hours by the end of every even-numbered year and the other required to earn the requisite hours by the end of every odd-numbered year.

Created by Rule X for the Government of the Bar, the commission administers the CLE requirements imposed on attorneys and judges according to that rule and Rule IV for the Government of the Judiciary. The Commission also accredits programs and activities that satisfy Ohio’s mandatory CLE requirements.
