Casemaker has been a member benefit for over 10 years. Statewide visits to the site were 83,618, down slightly for the third year in a row, from 85,122 last year. Decreased sessions could reflect fewer searches as members become more familiar with use of the system or methods of saving often-used research outside of the system. Seventeen percent of visits were new visits (first time users). Average pages per session were 7.22, and average session time was 12 minutes. Highest use of the system was in Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile and Huntsville, followed by Hoover, Tuscaloosa, Decatur and Dothan. 4. An orientation session was conducted for new members of the Board of Bar Commissioners. 5. A lawyer legislator breakfast was hosted at the start of the 2016 legislative session. 6.

The program was recognized by the American Bar Association as the best program in the nation in 2015. 9. The 139th annual Alabama State Bar meeting was planned and held at the Sandestin Resort, June 22-25, 2016. 10. In 2016, 8,493 paid for licenses and special memberships on-line by either credit card or e-check and 986 used the new hybrid voucher procedure. This was a 6% increase over last year, not including the voucher procedure. 1 Departmental facts and figures are based on the state bar’s fiscal year – October 1, 2015 – September 30, 2016, except as otherwise noted, e.g., MCLE operates on a calendar year – January 1 to December 31. 1 11. A strong legislative presence continued during the 2016 legislative session. ASB leadership assisted with the mediation of pending legislation as requested by Senate and House leadership and helped maintain level funding for the court system. 12. The Policies and Procedures handbook, annotating Board of Bar Commissioners’ policies since 1986, was updated. 13. The Board of Commissioners increased the occupational license fee beginning October 1, 2016. 14.

Of this number, 66 percent are female, 34 percent male and 7 percent African- American. The bar continues to perform a broad range of licensing and regulatory functions generally with a smaller staff than comparably-sized bar association that have fewer regulatory functions.2 Volunteer Service Component As a volunteer service agency, participation by members in the bar’s licensing and regulation and related functions is critical to self-regulation of the legal profession in Alabama. The high level of participation which the state bar enjoys in this regard increases the amount of work accomplished by leveraging the resources of the bar’s experienced staff. It is estimated that more than 8,278 hours of volunteer service were rendered specifically in the licensing and regulatory areas as well as in the oversight of bar programs last year. This is an important component to be considered when measuring the bar’s overall performance.

  • ABA Model Rule 8.4(G) Would Violate an Attorney’S Free Speech, Free Association, and Free Exercise Rights Under the First Amendment to the U.S
    To: Jodi Nafzger From: Steve Smith Re: Idaho State Bar Professionalism and Ethics Section Subcommittee on the Proposed Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct, Rule 8.4(g) Date: May 26, 2017 Thank you, and thanks to Brad Andrews, for the invitation to provide a dissenting opinion about the proposed Rule 8.4(g) (the “subsection”) that was approved on May 8, 2017 for discussion at the CLE on June 6, 2017. Also, I wanted to express my appreciation to all the subcommittee members for all of the time, energy and good discussion invested by them. The reasons that the rule should not be amended include the following: 1. The proposed subsection is a “solution” in search of a problem. Albert Einstein, who was a pretty good problem solver, was quoted as saying, “The framing of a problem is often more essential than its solution.” I don’t recall any evidence being presented in the Subcommittee’s deliberations that demonstrated an actual need in Idaho for the subsection, especially in light of the fact that provisions already exist in the rules to address the concerns that were raised. 2. The amendment would undermine the U. S. Constitution and threaten our liberties. Thomas Jefferson wrote the following to James Madison in 1787: "A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse…." Abraham Lincoln echoed that belief when he said, “Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” Attached is an analysis of the Rule provided by a constitutional lawyer who has reviewed the ABA Model Rule and various state rules.

  • Formal Opinion
    · :. - FORMAL ETHICS OPINION NO. 127 The Idaho State Bar Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility has been requested to render an opinion concerning the propriety of a J.a1Al'yer placing telephone calls to residents of the lawyer's area of practice, selected at random, as a follow up to an advertisement distributed to the public at large. The advertisement says in part: H$25.00 cash if we call your number and you can answer two questions about this page. We will make random callsH. The specific question is whether placing the random calls would violate the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct. Rule 7.3 of the Idaho Rules of Professional Conduct is controlling: Direct contact with Prospective Clients A lawyer may not solicit professional employment from a prospective client with whom the lawyer has no family or prior professional relationship, by mail, in-person or otherwise, when a significant motive for the lawyer's doing so is the lawyer's pecuniary gain. The term HsolicitH includes contact in person, by telephone or telegraph, by letter or other writing, or by other communication directed to a specific recipient, but does not include letters addressed or advertising circulars distributed generally to persons not known to need legal services of the kind provided by the lawyer in a particular matter, but who are so situated that they might in general find such services useful. ETHICS OPINION - 1 The Supreme Court of the united States held, in Ohralik vs. Ohio State Bar Association, 436 U.S. 447 (1978), that a State may categorically ban in-person solicitation by lawyers for pecuniary gain.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION Nationally, approximately 40% of new attorneys work at firms consisting of more than 50 lawyers. Therefore, a large percentage of practicing attorneys work for small firms (fewer than 50 attorneys). Small firms generally do not have formalized recruiting procedures or a set “hiring season” when they recruit summer law clerks, school-year law clerks, or entry-level attorneys. Instead, these firms hire on an as-needed basis, and they hire year round. To secure employment with a small firm, students and lawyers alike need to be proactive in getting their name and interests out in the community. Applicants should not only apply directly to these firms, but they should connect via law school, community, and bar association activities. In this directory, you will find state-by-state hyperlinks to regional directories, bar associations, newspapers, and job banks that can be used to jump-start a small firm search.

Merrill: Multijurisdictional Practice of Law under the Revised South Carol MULTIURISDICTIONAL PRACTICE OF LAW UNDER THE REVISED SOUTH CAROLINA RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT I. INTRODUCTION In the 1998 case, Birbrower,Montalbano, Condon & Frank,P.C. v. Superior Court,1 the California Supreme Court shocked the national legal community when it held New York attorneys engaged in the unauthorized practice of law by representing California clients in a proposed arbitration matter that settled.2 The case spurred the American Bar Association (ABA) to revise and broaden the Model Rules of Professional Conduct to serve attorneys practicing in multiple jurisdictions.3 After the ABA adopted the revised rules, the South Carolina Supreme Court followed the trend of many other states by studying the revised model rules and adopting similar rules.4 The new South Carolina rules became effective on October 1, 2005.' This Comment provides an overview of revised Rule 5.5 and argues it broadens the opportunities for out-of-state attorneys to practice law in South Carolina.
