Vt. MCLE Rule 10

(A) Prohibition on Improper Status Transfers. An attorney may not transfer between

licensing statuses to circumvent the requirements of these Rules.

(B) Reporting period. When an attorney transfers from one licensing status to another, the

reporting period ends on June 30 of the same year as it would have been absent the transfer.

(C) Transfers to Active or Pro Bono Emeritus Status.

(1) Limit on Transfer. An attorney may transfer to active or pro bono emeritus status

without completing additional Credit Hours unless the attorney:

(a) has been on other than active status for three years or more, or

(b) had previously transferred from active or pro bono emeritus status to inactive

status before completing the applicable Rule 3 requirements for the reporting period.

(2) Additional Requirements. An attorney meeting (1)(a) or (1)(b) above must file with the

Board a compliance form reflecting completion of the applicable Rule 3 requirements within the

two years immediately preceding the date the status transfer is to occur.

This rule is drawn from the prior rule § 11. The prior rule has

been slightly reorganized for clarity and revised to incorporate pro

bono emeritus status and to remove the double penalty in prior

rule § 11(c).
