(a) Waiver. A waiver is a grant by the Board that continuing education requirements may be excused. The Board may waive any amount of continuing education requirements for a period of not more than one (1) year upon a finding by the Board of:

1. undue hardship, including extraordinary situations that could not reasonably have been anticipated;

2. circumstances beyond the control of the judge that prevent the judge from complying in any reasonable manner with continuing education requirements; or

3. circumstances under which the Board determines a waiver request manifestly demonstrates good cause.

(b) Senior judges.

1. Newly certified senior judges must complete the supplemental practicum required by Pa.R.J.A. 602(b).

2. Senior judges must compete annual continuing education courses as required by these rules.

(c) Members of the Armed Forces. Compliance with these rules shall be waived for members of the Armed Forces on active duty during the period of their active duty. A judge completing active duty shall notify the Board within thirty (30) days of returning to judicial service. Thereafter, the judge must comply with continuing education requirements for the forthcoming year.
