legal education available through such activity.

(f) To obtain continuing legal education credit, an attorney shall submit an

application approved by the Board or apply online on the Wyoming State Bar

website (www.wyomingbar.org) for each continuing legal education activity for

which credit is sought. The application must be received by the Wyoming State

Bar on or before the applicable deadline and should be submitted within a

reasonable time following participation in the activity. Applications received

after March 1 for continuing legal education activities completed during the

previous calendar year shall not be accepted.

accreditation under Rule 6, no further documentation is required other than

the application.

activity and the number of credit hours to which the applicant is entitled.

Within a reasonable time after receipt of the application and accompanying

materials, the CLE Director shall notify the attorney that the activity is not

accredited or if the number of hours of credit approved is less than

requested. Such notification shall be made by United States mail or by email

to the address provided by such attorney to the Wyoming State Bar.

education credits which have been accumulated for each attorney. On November 15 (or the next business day following) the Wyoming State Bar shall notify

each attorney of the number of continuing legal education hours credited to

that attorney for the current calendar year. Such notification shall be made by

United States mail or by email to the address provided by such attorney to the

Wyoming State Bar.
