rule 3.112, and for board certification in other specialized fields of
law.

The concept of a two-hour continuing legal education (CLE)
requirement was proposed in the 2012 Final Report of the Florida
Innocence Commission.

The CLE requirement is not intended to establish any
independent legal rights. Any claim of ineffective assistance of
counsel will be controlled by Strickland v. Washington, 466 U.S. 668
(1984).

It is intended that The Florida Prosecuting Attorneys
Association and The Florida Public Defender Association will
develop a seminar that will be approved for CLE credit by The
Florida Bar. It is also intended that attorneys will be able to
electronically access that seminar, at no cost, via The Florida Bar’s
website, the Florida Prosecuting Attorneys Association’s website,
and/or the Florida Public Defender Association’s website.

The rule is not intended to apply to counsel of record in direct
or collateral adult felony appeals.
