RULES REGULATING THE FLORIDA BAR--AMENDMENT--CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION. The Court amended rule 6-10.3 (Minimum Continuing Legal Education Standards) to allow lawyers to earn one hour of general CLE credit for every hour of pro bono service, with a limit of five credit hours of CLE per three-year reporting cycle. No CLE credit will be awarded for monetary donations.
RULES FOR COURT-APPOINTED ARBITRATORS--AMENDMENT--QUALIFICATIONS. Florida Rule for Court-Appointed Arbitrators 11.010 (Qualification) was amended to include a requirement that "a sole or chief court-appointed arbitrator must be a member in good standing of The Florida Bar for the preceding five years unless the parties agree in writing that the sole or chief court-appointed arbitrator may be an individual who has been for the preceding five years a member in good standing and eligible to practice law in any United States jurisdiction." Additionally, "a non-licensed individual who is not currently disbarred or suspended from practice in any jurisdiction may serve as a non-chair arbitrator on an arbitration panel with the written agreement of all parties."
RULE OF GENERAL PRACTICE AND JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION--AMENDMENT--JUDICIAL NEED--CONSIDERATIONS. Additional considerations were added to Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.240 (Determination of Need for Additional Judges). The Court included "consideration of the extent to which each judge has adequate time to stay informed of changes in the law and to use, as well as participate in the development of and training on, technology systems" within the effectiveness factors, and "consideration of the extent to which judges have time to participate in appropriate community activities for purposes that include promoting public trust and confidence in the courts" within the professionalism factors.
