     (a)  Minimum Requirement.  Each active member of the Bar Association, and
     other lawyers who are required by the APRs to complete continuing legal
     education credits, must complete a minimum of 45 credit hours of
     accredited legal education (as provided in APR 11.4) by December 31 of the

          described in Regulation 103(b) of Appendix APR 11.

          (2)  A lawyer must earn a minimum of six of the required 45 credit
          hours of accredited legal education in the area of ethics, as that is
          defined in Regulation 101(g) of Appendix APR 11.

          (3)  A lawyer may earn a maximum of one-half of the required credit

          Regulation 103(h) of Appendix APR 11.

          (4)  A lawyer may earn a maximum of six credit hours annually through

          Regulation 103(f) of Appendix APR 11.

          (5)  A lawyer may earn a maximum of six of the required credit hours

     member shall complete 45 credits every three years as required by APR 11.2(a).

     (c)  Carryover of excess earned credits.  If a member completes more than
     the required credits for any one reporting period, up to 15 of the excess
     credits may be carried forward and applied to that member's education
     requirement for the next reporting period.  Of the 15 credit hours that
     may be carried forward to the next reporting period, pursuant to sections
     (a) and (b) of this rule:

          (1)  A maximum of two credit hours may be applied toward the ethics
