TRTCLE reports your credits to the West Virginia State Bar.

Members admitted to the West Virginia State Bar after July 1, 2018 are subject to the new Bridge the Gap Program, which requires mandatory in-person attendance at one of the West Virginia State Bar's two seminars to be held annually. The training sessions will occur once at the State Bar Annual Meeting and a second time at a geographically different location each calendar year.

Each new lawyer admitted to practice after July 1, 2018 will have twenty-four months after their date of admission to complete the program.
