Rule 811 Inactive Attorney Returning to Active Status

If you're an attorney in Kansas who switches from inactive status back to active status, you need to catch up on your continuing legal education (CLE) requirements. Specifically, you must meet the standard annual CLE requirement before the current compliance period ends.

This means you can't just resume practicing law without doing the required coursework. Once your status changes from inactive to active, the clock is already running on that compliance period, and you need to complete your CLE hours by the deadline for that period, just like any other active attorney would.
