In addition, to maintain eligibility to accept court appointments in Juvenile cases, an attorney shall complete biennially thereafter 4.0 additional hours of VIDC and MCLE-approved continuing legal education on representing juveniles. Please note that CLE on representing juveniles can be used towards Misdemeanor/Felony Re-Certification. But generally, Misdemeanor/Felony CLE does not apply towards Juvenile Re-Certification.
