MCLE Comity for Active WSBA Members in Oregon, Idaho, or Utah
If you are an Active member of the WSBA and your primary office for the practice of law is outside of Washington and if you are a member of the Oregon, Idaho, or Utah state bars ("comity" states), you may meet your Washington Mandatory CLE requirements by providing proof of current MCLE compliance from your comity state bar. Only a Certificate of MCLE Compliance — from your comity state bar office — sent with your WSBA C2/C3 form will satisfy your MCLE requirements in Washington. The forms must be postmarked or delivered by February 1.
Note:
-
A "Certificate of Good Standing" or a list of courses taken to meet your comity state's credit compliance requirements is not acceptable for fulfilling the comity requirements.
-
Your Washington State and your comity state reporting periods do not need to be identical. To meet compliance requirements in Washington your Certificate of Compliance from the comity state just needs to show that you met the MCLE compliance requirements for your most recent comity state reporting period.
Proof of compliance may be obtained by contacting the MCLE offices in the states listed below:
-
From Oregon, by contacting Denise Cline (MCLE Administrator) at
dcline@osbar.org, at (503)620-0222, or toll free in Oregon at 800-452-8260, ext. 315.
-
-
From Utah, by calling the Utah MCLE Department at 801-531-9077 or e-mailing
mcle@utahbar.org.
