Each Justice of the Supreme Court shall complete a minimum of 12 hours of instruction in an approved continuing judicial or legal education activity during each calendar year. If a Justice completes more than 12 hours in a year, the excess credit may be carried forward and applied to the education requirement for the succeeding year only.

Each Justice shall complete during each year a minimum of 1 hour of continuing judicial or legal education activity in the area of legal or judicial ethics and 1 hour in the area of professionalism. These hours are to be included in, and not in addition to, the 12-hour requirement. If a Justice completes more than 1 hour in either or both of these areas during a year, the excess may be carried forward to a maximum of 2 hours in either or both areas and be applied to the ethics and/or professionalism requirement for succeeding years.

The Supreme Court may exempt a Justice from the continuing judicial education requirements but not from the reporting requirements of this rule for a period of not more than one year upon a finding by the Court of special circumstances unique to that member constituting undue hardship.
