Rule: SCR 31.06

Jurisdiction: WI

Bluebook Citation: Wis. SCR SCR 31.06

for persons upon reactivation, readmission, or reinstatement. (1) The board shall determine the attendance and reporting requirements for a person who seeks readmission following voluntary resignation from the state bar, or reinstatement from a license suspension that will terminate only on order of the court, or license revocation. (2) Lawyers who have been in inactive status or have voluntarily resigned from the State Bar and who have not complied with the last reporting period, must complete 30 hours of CLE (including 3 ethics hours) prior to resuming active status, except lawyers qualified for Senior Active status who have not complied with the last reporting period must complete 15 hours of CLE (including 3 ethics hours). Only approved CLE activities that were completed during or after the last reporting period may be used to satisfy the 30 or 15 hour requirement referenced above. (3) Lawyers who have been in inactive status or have voluntarily resigned from the State Bar and who have not complied with the last two reporting periods, must complete 60 hours of CLE (including 3 ethics hours) prior to resuming active status, except lawyers qualified for Senior Active status who have not complied with the last two reporting periods must complete 30 hours of CLE (including 3 ethics 261 hours). Only approved CLE activities that were completed during or after the last two reporting periods may be used to satisfy the 60 or 30 hour requirement referenced above. (4) An inactive member, whose practice is principally in another jurisdiction that has mandatory CLE requirements, satisfies the attendance and reporting requirements if the inactive member provides a certificate of good standing or other proof of eligibility to practice law in the principal jurisdiction. (5) Lawyers who resume active status must also satisfy the requirements of SCR 31.02 for the reporting period in which they are reactivated, readmitted, or reinstated. (6) CLE requirements under this section shall not be greater than they would have been if the lawyer had not been in inactive status or had not voluntarily resigned from the State Bar.
