What happens in the event an attorney fails to comply with the Mandatory CLE program?
If an attorney remains in nomcomplicance, the Supreme Court of Georgia will be notified so that it may enter any order it deems appropriate including suspension from the practice of law until, as a minimum, the deficiency is corrected, all penalty fees are paid, and a reinstatement fee is paid. A late fee of $50 is required if the Annual Report for an attorney short on hours or owing course fees for the previous year is not returned by January 31. A $100 penalty fee is required if hours for the preceding year are not completed by the deficiency period ending March 31.
