On March 16, 2010, the Board of Administrative Oversight and the Office of Lawyer Regulation filed a petition with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The petition requests the court amend Supreme Court Rule (SCR) 20:1.15(e)(2)a., its comment, and the comments to SCR 20:1.15(cm)(3), to provide greater protection to the public when a lawyer holds trust property at a credit union. The petition and supporting memorandum are available on the Web site of the Wisconsin Supreme Court under http://wicourts.gov/scrules/pending.htm.
IT IS ORDERED
that a public hearing on the petition shall be held in the Supreme Court Room
in the State Capitol,
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the court's conference in the matter shall be held promptly following the public hearing.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that notice of the hearing be given by a single publication of a copy of this order and of the petition in the official state newspaper and in an official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days before the date of the hearing.[1]
Dated at Madison, Wisconsin, this 1st day of September, 2010.
BY THE COURT:
A. John Voelker
Acting Clerk of Supreme Court
[1] Notice of the hearing will appear in the October 2010 Wisconsin Lawyer, the official publication of the State Bar of Wisconsin, approximately 21 days prior to the hearing rather than the required minimum of 30 days. Pursuant to its rule-making authority under Wis. Stat. § 751.12 and its Internal Operating Procedures, the court exercises its discretion to allow this unavoidable deviation from the requirements.
