The Board of Governors will weigh a handful of issues when it meets next month including a proposed “limited appearance attorney” court rule and a new member benefit.

At the March 3 meeting in St. Louis, the board will consider a Civil Procedure Rules Committee proposed new Rule 1.041 (Limited Appearance Attorneys).

Among other things, the proposed rule includes a subdivision (a) that addresses the scope of representation; a subdivision (b) that addresses notice requirements; and a subdivision (e) that addresses termination.
