In your first year of practice (or in the year before you are admitted to the Bar), you have to complete Practicing with Professionalism (PWP). PWP is completed through The Florida Bar’s InReach Program found at the link below.

To be eligible for the $75 cost reduction to the PWP seminar, you must:

• Be a member of The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division taking Practicing with Professionalism to satisfy your Basic Skills Requirement;
• Make less than $37,500;
• Be paying for PWP yourself.

You must submit the affidavit in its entirety.

Failure to complete the affidavit honestly and completely will result in rejection of your request. Please allow two weeks to receive an acceptance letter. Once you receive the acceptance letter, proceed to register for the seminar via mail and submit a copy of the acceptance letter with your fees. Note you may not register online to be eligible for the grant.

In your first three years of practice, you have to complete 21 hours of Basic Skills Courses (or 3 entire Basic Skills Courses) to satisfy the Basic Skills Course Requirement. These courses are completed through The Florida Bar’s InReach Program found here:

After your first three years of practice (and for every three year reporting cycle), you have to complete:

• A minimum of 33 credit hours of approved CLEs
  • 5 of the 33 hours must be in approved legal ethics, professionalism, bias elimination, substance abuse, or mental illness awareness programs
  • 3 of the 33 credit hours must be in approved technology programs which are included in, not addition to, the regular 33 credit hour requirement.
  • The remainder of the 33 hours can be any approved CLE—including Basic Skills CLEs!

If you complete more than 33 credit hours during any reporting cycle, you cannot carry over the excess credits to the next reporting cycle.
