In Re Amendments to the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar (biannual Report)

Summary

The Florida Supreme Court adopted most of the Florida Bar’s proposed amendments to its governing rules, while declining several specific proposals, including a disaster‑relief rule, multijurisdictional practice language, a trust‑account check‑signing requirement, and a new judicial‑fellow designation; the Court also modified notice‑publication requirements. Separate concurring and dissenting opinions objected to the rejections of the disaster‑relief rule, the trust‑account check requirement, and the notice‑publication amendment.
