MCLE noncompliance: a $100 expense charge applies if CLE requirements are not completed by Dec. 31 or the annual report is not filed by Feb. 15; the MCLE Commission reports noncompliant attorneys to the OBA Executive Director. Nonpayment of membership dues and MCLE noncompliance each can lead to suspension by the Oklahoma Supreme Court (see State ex rel. OBA v. Edwards, 2011 OK 3).Verify with board

How compliance is checked

Attorneys must file an annual MCLE compliance report; the MCLE Commission compiles lists of attorneys who fail to report or fail to comply and furnishes them to the OBA Executive Director (Rule 6).
