In Re Amendment to Rule 1.19--Arkansas Rules of Professional Conduct

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas adopted minor amendments to Rule 1.19 governing client files, retention, and destruction. The amendments make the notice language in subsection (b)(3) consistent with the notice requirement in subsection (b)(2), allowing a lawyer's written file-retention-and-destruction policy to satisfy the notice requirement. The revised rule was published in line-in, line-out form.
