Recertification

The Certifying Board supports the ongoing professional development of its certificants. The mandatory recertification process provides certificants with the opportunity to demonstrate the retention, reinforcement, and expansion of their knowledge and skills pertaining to new advances and information over the full spectrum of law and procedures in the legal field.

The CP^® credential is valid for a period of five years. CPs may renew their certification after complying with the ethical and continuing legal education (CLE) requirements set forth by the Certifying Board. The five-year period is enforced as a reasonable timeframe for staying abreast of the rapid changes in law and procedures in the legal field. To maintain use of the CP^® credential, certification must be renewed every five (5) years.
