SACRAMENTO - Most of Califor- nia's 115 000 active lawyers will join the ranks of ~ther professionals required to undergo continuing education under legis- lation signed into law by Gov. George Deukmejian. State Bar officials and other experts agree the program could help _reduce dis• c1pline complaints. Thus, while the law Chari shewing the requirements of the CLE law, and a story on the other bills of interest to the legal community signed l>y the governor. Page 11. places a new burden on th_e state's attor- neys, it also could help relieve them of an albatross that has hung around their col- lective neck for years. And there is some speculation the re- quirement - established under SB 905 by Sen. Ed Davis, R-Northridge - even could pay off for lawyers on a cost-benefit level. They will have to pay to complete the continuing legal education courses, but their malpractice insurance premiums could decline as a result. The program also will have an impact on CLE course providers. They may have to serve a new market of senior, experi- enced attorneys and rural lawyers, devel- op area-specific courses that meet the needs of local lawyers, and offer more courses in skills training. Many observers expect current provid- ers to reap a windfall from the new re- quirement. But the program is like y to s1gmficantly mcrease competition, which could cut into increased profits. While the requirement is now law, sev- eral issues remain unresolved about the program's implementation. They include: when the requirement becomes effective; how much of the requirement can be met through video or audio tapes; how to en- force the requirement; how to accredit course providers and certify courses; and whether to assess providers a fee to help pay for the costs of administering the program. Those questions will be resolved by the new Committee on Education of the bar's Board of Governors, which will hold its first meeting in November. One thing appears certain, though: Lawyers will not be hit with a dues hike to pay for the program. New bar President Alan I. Rothenberg of Los Angeles said, "This is a grand mo- ment for the profession and the public. To me, it's an exciting thing. It's going to guarantee continued, improved, high quality [practice] in the state." Added bar Discipline Monitor Robert Fellmeth, director of the Center for Pub- ' Jic Interest Law nTvers1 of San 1ego, ''It is an important I to consum- ers. A great number of professions and trades require continuing education. In an area that changes as fast as the law does, consumers need assurance attorneys are expected to keep up to speed." Ethics, Practice Management In discussing the program's potential benefit to lawyers and consumers, bar of- ficials and Fellmeth focused on the ethics and practice management components. "This will reduce discipline problems which are so often traced back to not knowing ethics and just having bad proce- dures," Rothenberg said. Fellmeth called the practice manage- ment component "probably the most im- portant" part of the program. He added, "In looking at discipline files, especially with solo practitioners, that is an area that keeps popping up.''
