How to Read the Online CLE Transcript

The information provided on the online Transcript is the same as is provided each December in the printed Transcript form sent by the Commission. The first section shows the attorney's name and address as is on record with the Supreme Court. If this information is inaccurate, the attorney must notify the Court in writing of the change of address.

The second section shows the attorney category and number of credit hours required of the attorney for compliance. Most attorneys are listed as "Attorney or Judge" and have a 24 credit hour requirement. Other categories include "Senior Attorney" (members of the Bar admitted to practice in Delaware for 40 or more years), "Resume Practice" (attorneys returning to active status from inactive status or suspension) and "Newly Admitted Attorney" (attorneys admitted to practice in Delaware during the current calendar year). Twelve credits are requried of Senior Attorneys in a two-year period; other attorney categories have specialized requirements based upon time of active status. The Enhanced Ethics requirement is always 1/6 of the total credits required.

The third section shows the credits the attorney has earned through attending courses previously approved by the Commission and upon application by the attorney via Form 4. Unlimited credits may be earned through attendance at live courses open to all attorneys (Activity Code "A"). There are credit limits of half the requirement placed on video courses ("V"), in-house programs ("I"), and self-study courses ("S"). Self-study courses with an audio component only and no video component ("SA") are further restricted to half the self-study limit; for attorneys with a 24 credit hour requirement, this is 6 of the 12-hour self-study limit.

The fourth section (if applicable) shows the credits the attorney has earned through approved individual activites such as teaching (Activity Code "T"), moderating ("M"), writing and grading bar exam questions ("BE"), publication ("PU"), Pro Bono ("PB") and professional work ("PW"). Credit hour limits apply to all categories.

The final section sets forth the attorney's compliance deadline and summarizes the attorney's compliance status. The "Current Compliance Status" is only valid if the credits are all accurate and verified by the attorney on the annual reporting Transcript. If changes are necessary, they may affect the credit hour tally and therefore the compliance status.

How to Make Changes to the Online CLE Transcript

If changes are required to the Transcript during the calendar year, the attorney may print a copy and send it to the Commission with the Form 12 Update Form. Form 12 initializes an inquiry as to why the credits were not posted within 45 days of the seminar end as required of providers, so please allow some time for review and response. Changes will only be accepted for courses which should have been reported at the time of the Transcript printing, so please refer to the database update dates on the main Transcript page before adding credits which are not reflected on the Transcript.

Form 12 is disabled in December of each year because changes cannot be made after the Transcripts have been finalized for printing. The attorney will be required to make any changes to the paper Transcript received in January if it must be filed.

Regardless of any changes the attorney has made using the Form 12, the attorney will still be required to sign and return the printed Transcript form to the Commission which will be enclosed with the annual registration statement when required by CLE Rules. Attorneys with a compliance deadline of December 31, 2007 will be required to verify the information printed and return the form to the Commission by February 1, 2008. Attorneys with a compliance deadline of December 31, 2008 will be required to verify the information printed and return the form to the Commission by February 1, 2009. Late fees apply if the printed Transcript form is not signed and returned to the Commission by the response deadline.
