The Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar – Public Hearing on Proposed Rules

Public Hearing on Proposed Rules
January 31, 2014 – 11:00 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. – MSBA Annual Meeting – Mariott at Sable Oakes

The Board of Overseers of the Bar will hold a public hearing to receive testimony on the proposed rewrite of the Maine Bar Rules.  In 2011, the Board established a committee to undertake a complete review of the administrative and disciplinary rules contained within the Maine Bar Rules. After two years of work, the committee has proposed new rules integrating many of the current Maine Bar Rules and Board Regulations, as well as aspects of the ABA Model Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement.  The public hearing will provide attendees with an opportunity to comment on the proposed rules before submission to the Supreme Judicial Court.  Members of the bar are encouraged to submit written comments in advance of the hearing.  Those who will be testifying and/or submitting written materials should contact the Board’s Executive Director, Jacqueline Rogers.  Download proposed rules.
