Mandatory Continuing Education for Professional Relicensure: A Comparative Analysis of Its Impact in Law and Medicine.
Frye, Susan J.
Journal of Continuing Higher Education, v38 n1 p16-25 Win 1990

Similar effects in law have not been studied. Compulsory education has improved quality of and access to programs, but MCE is not assurance or guarantee of professional competence.
