Dates and Deadlines
Your annual compliance period is July 1 to June 30 and your affidavits must be postmarked by September 15 of each year to avoid the fees in Rule 45, Ariz.R.Sup.Ct.
The online electronic affidavit is available in mid-July. The electronic affidavit automatically populates with your name, Bar number, address, and all of your State Bar CLE, based on the information you entered in the CLE tracking system.
Electronic filing updates your record in real time, and there is no requirement to mail the affidavit.
Another option is to print off a blank affidavit from the website, complete and mail it.
The third option is the blank affidavit in the Arizona Attorney magazine issued in mid-August.
