| Fewer Lawyers Being Fined For Not Taking Continuing Education. |
|
By Bill Cohen - January 16, 2001 |

One hundred ninety-six Ohio attorneys have agreed to pay fines because they have not obeyed the rule that requires them to take 24 hours of continuing education classes every two years. Diane Chesley-Lahm oversees the continuing education program for the Ohio Supreme Court. She tells Statehouse correspondent Bill Cohen that the percentage of lawyers who don't comply has been dropping since the rule was set up more than a decade ago.
Chesley-Lahm says attorneys who pay fines for not complying with the continuing education rule are not off the hook -- they have to make up the classes they did not take, or they face additional fines and eventually a loss of their license to practice law in Ohio. |
