GR 9 Cover Sheet

Suggested Amendments

ADMISSION AND PRACTICE RULES (APR) Rule 7.

Submitted by the Washington State Bar Association

A. Name of Proponent:

Washington State Bar Association

Robin L. Haynes, President

B. Spokesperson:

Paula C. Littlewood, Executive Director

Jean K. McElroy, General Counsel/Chief Regulatory Counsel

C. Purpose:

The suggested amendments to APR 7 would reserve the rule and delete the entire text. The current provisions are duplicative of current APR 20-24 relating to character and fitness proceedings, and the subpoena provisions of APR 7(c) would be included in the suggested amendments to APR 22.1 and 23.1.
