Rule 6-14.4. Recertification

    To be eligible for recertification, an applicant must meet the following requirements:

    (a) Substantial Involvement. Applicants must demonstrate a satisfactory showing, as determined by the board of legal specialization and education and the health law certification committee, of continuous and substantial involvement in the field of health law throughout the period since the last date of certification. The demonstration of substantial involvement shall be made in accordance with the standards set forth in rule 6-14.3(b), except that the board of legal specialization and education and the health law certification committee may accept an affidavit from the applicant attesting to the applicant's compliance with the substantial involvement requirement.

    (b) Continuing Legal Education Requirement. Applicants must demonstrate the completion of at least 100 hours of continuing legal education since the filing of the last application for certification (or recertification). The continuing legal education must logically be expected to enhance the proficiency of attorneys who are board certified health law attorneys. If the applicant has not attained 100 hours of continuing legal education, but has attained more than 60 hours during such period, successful passage of the written examination given by the board of legal specialization and education to new applicants shall satisfy the continuing legal education requirements.

    (c) Peer Review. Peer review shall be conducted in accordance with the standards set forth in rule 6-14.3(c).

    (d) Examination Requirement. If, after reviewing the material submitted by an applicant for recertification, the board of legal specialization and education and the health law certification committee determine that the applicant may not meet the standards in health law established under this chapter, the board of legal specialization and education and the health law certification committee may require, as a condition of recertification, that the applicant pass the written examination given by the board of legal specialization and education to new applicants.
