Attorney Registration
As we near the end of the year, our office is preparing to send out registration statements. Be sure our office has your current contact information. To update your information, you may notify the office in writing by
sending a letter, or by using the
change of address form. You may also
contact us by email to report any changes.
The online registration system will be available at coloradosupremecourt.com starting on December 1, 2023. Postcard reminders will be mailed the last week of November. Please note that in the spring, the Colorado Supreme Court approved registration fee increases for the first time since 2014. The 2024 registration fee schedule can be found
here.
Important CLE compliance reminder
All active Colorado attorneys under age 72 must earn 45 CLE credits. The subcomponents of those 45 credits have changed, starting with compliance periods ending December 31, 2021. Attorneys must have taken at least 7 professional responsibility (also known as ethics) credits, every three years by the end of the third year. The professional responsibility credits must include at least 2 credits in equity, diversity and inclusivity and at least 5 credits in legal ethics or legal professionalism. Roughly one-third of active Colorado attorneys have a compliance deadline coming up by December 31, 2023. Be sure to check
here to confirm you have met or are on your way to meeting this requirement. If you have not changed your log-in since the new CLE tracking system launched in June 2023, you will need to do that before checking your credits or entering new credits. CLE credits completed by December 31, 2023 can be entered into the online system until January 31, 2024. Programs that already have been accredited can be found
here. As noted above, OARC also offers a free on-line self-assessment that qualifies for CLE credit, which can be accessed
here.
