In Re: Amendments to the Rules Regulating the Florida Bar - Rules 11-1.3 and 11-1.9 (Biennial Petition)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Florida denied the Florida Bar’s biennial petition to amend Rules 11‑1.3 and 11‑1.9. The Court held that the Board of Bar Examiners must continue to conduct character‑and‑fitness screening of certified legal interns and that the proposed Level 2 background investigation does not sufficiently protect the public.
