RULES FOR MANDATORY CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION
As of January 1, 2025
(unofficial version)
Introductory Board’s Note
Legal Education are comprehensive. Much of the ABA’s February
2017 Model Rule for Minimum Continuing Legal Education (Model
Rule) has been adopted in whole or in part. Many provisions of
the prior rules remain in the current rules but have been
incorporated into the framework of the Model Rule. Because of
the comprehensive nature of the revision, it is not possible to
present the amendments in a redlined version that highlights
changes to the prior rules. The Board’s Notes attempt to identify
the relevant prior rules and to point out where the new rules
reflect a significant substantive change from the prior rules.
PURPOSE
To maintain public confidence in the legal profession and the rule of law, and to promote the
fair administration of justice, it is essential that attorneys be competent regarding the law, legal and
practice-oriented skills, the standards and ethical obligations of the legal profession, and the
management of their practices. In furtherance of this purpose, these rules establish minimum
requirements for continuing legal education in the state of Vermont.
The purpose language is drawn from the Model Rule and
replaces prior rule § 1.
