CLE Obligations With Teeth

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has imposed disbarment by consent of an attorney who had not notified clients and courts of his suspension for failure to comply with mandatory CLE obligations. He also undertook a new matter after taking CLE courses but prior to reinstatement. Among the courses he took were Annual Auto Law Seminar, Science of Persuasion and George and Ray’s Review of Accounting Standards for Industry. The ensuing bar charges, which included allegations of dishonesty, are appended to the court’s order. (Mike Frisch)
