GR 9 Cover Sheet

Suggested Amendments

ADMISSION AND PRACTICE RULES (APR) Rule 9.

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:

There are no substantive suggested amendments to APR 9. Instead, the amendments conform the terminology as used throughout the suggested amendments to the APR.

Under the suggested amendments, APR 9(c) regarding supervising lawyer qualifications would no longer include “a lawyer currently licensed pursuant to APR 8(d) Exception for Educational Purposes” because the suggested amendments would eliminate that license type (see suggested amendments to APR 8).
