Douglas Gray during the Annual Meeting at Hilton Head. New Certification Standards Prescribed for Taxation Law Specialty New standards and procedures proposed by the Taxation Law Specializa- tion Advisory Board have been approved by the Supreme Court Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competence with a proposed effective date of October 31, 1991. Changes of particular interest relate to an increase in the specialty CLE required for recertification (from 120 hours to 150 hours) and a requirement that applicants for original certification pass ar. examination administered by the specialty. Applicants for original certification who have been awarded an LL.M. in taxation law from an ABA accredited law school not more than five years prior to application are eligible for a w iver of the examination. In most respects, the o ndards and procedures proposed by the Taxation Board are similar to standards and procedures for the estate planning and probate iaw specialty which were approved earlier this year by the South Carolina Supreme Court. Reorganization of the standards and procedures is expected to make them easier to use and understand. Comments concerning the proposed new standards and procedures are solicited and should be sent to: South Carolina Commission on Continuing Lawyer Competence, P.O. Box 2138, Columbia, SC 29202.
