Rule 6-20.4. Recertification

    To be eligible for recertification, an applicant must meet the following requirements:

    (a) Substantial Involvement. Applicants must demonstrate a satisfactory showing as determined by the board of legal
specialization and education and the elder law certification committee, of continuous and substantial involvement in the field of elder law throughout the period since the last date of certification. The demonstration of substantial involvement shall be made in accordance with the standards set forth in rule 6-20.3(b) and (c).

    (b) Continuing Legal Education. Applicants must demonstrate the completion of at least 125 hours of continuing legal education since the filing of the last application for certification (or recertification). The continuing legal education must logically be expected to enhance the proficiency of attorneys who are board certified elder law attorneys. If the applicant has not attained 125 hours of continuing legal education, but has attained more than 75 hours during such period, successful passage of the written examination given by the board of legal specialization and education to new applicants shall satisfy the continuing legal education requirements.

    (c) Peer Review. Peer review shall be conducted in accordance with the standards set forth in rule 6-20.3(d).
