The Nevada Supreme Court is working on stringent new rules to ensure that lawyers continue to update their legal education.
Justices say there has been an unacceptable trend of non-compliance, with about 15 percent of the state's licensed lawyers not meeting the requirements for annual education updates.
Failure to meet the requirements “is a breach of a professional responsibility that cannot be tolerated,” Chief Justice Jim Hardesty said, adding that many of the same lawyers fail to complete the requirements year after year.
