Navigation Full agenda awaits the Board of Governors in March
The Board of Governors will consider dozens of proposed rule amendments and standing board policy revisions when it meets March 28 in Tampa.
They range from a proposed exception to the confidentiality rule to protect minors, and limiting the charitable contributions of voluntary sections, to scrubbing outdated language that refers to mental health and substance use disorders.
A proposed revision to Bar Rule 4-1.6 (Confidentiality of Information) would add a subdivision (8) that would allow a lawyer to reveal confidential information “to protect a minor client from a substantial risk of danger or harm.”
