Supreme Court of Florida

In Re Amendments to the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar (biannual Report) — Pariente, J., Concurring

April 12, 201237 Fla. L. Weekly Supp. 275

Summary

The supplied writing is a concurrence associated with an appendix setting out extensive amendments to the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar, but it does not itself state a separate binding holding or disposition. The amendments address bar-member status and information, discipline and reinstatement, temporary multijurisdictional practice, trust accounting, fee arbitration, paralegal registration, and related procedures. Justice Pariente, concurring in part and dissenting in part, would have adopted additional disaster-relief and trust-check-signature provisions and would have permitted an alternative method of publishing proposed rule amendments; Justices Quince and Canady also separately disagreed with portions of the majority's treatment.
