Navigation Rule change could open local lawyer referrals services to adjacent counties
The Board of Governors could soon be asked to approve a proposed amendment that would permit local bar association lawyer referral services to include attorneys in adjacent counties.
The proposed amendment to Rule 8-2.2 (Local Bar Association Sponsored Lawyer Referral Bylaws) would revise subdivision (b) “Membership Restricted to Geographic Area.”
It requires all members of a lawyer referral service to “maintain an office in the geographic area served by the proposed lawyer referral service.”
