AI Summary

  • The General Assembly recommends that the North Carolina State Bar Council exempt full-time licensed attorney employees of the North Carolina General Assembly from all continuing legal education (CLE) requirements.

  • Licensed attorneys who are full-time judicial law clerks and full-time law professors currently receive CLE exemptions, and licensed members of the General Assembly also receive exemptions.

  • The bill argues that full-time General Assembly attorney employees conduct extensive legal research and draft state laws, similar to work performed by those already exempt from CLE requirements.

  • The General Assembly encourages, but does not mandate, that the North Carolina State Bar Council adopt a rule providing the CLE exemption to these employees.

  • The act becomes effective upon passage.
