A proposal to require new lawyers to participate in a day of career training met with some push back last week by members of the Rules Committee for the Superior Court, who questioned whether the responsibility of career training should fall on the state Judicial Branch.
The proposal for a so-called "boot camp" for new lawyers came recently from a Rules Committee task force that had been looking into whether the state should adopt minimum continuing legal educaton for lawyers. The task force, chaired by Judge Elliot Solomon, noted deep divisions among lawyers in the state over MCLE and recommended that it’s not something that should be pursued at this time.
