GR 9 COVER SHEET

ADMISSION AND PRACTICE RULES (APR)

Rule 26.

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 McElroy, General Counsel/Chief Regulatory Counsel

C. Purpose:

The primary purposes of the suggested amendments to APR 26 are to specify that this rule only applies to lawyers (and not LLLTs and LPOs, who are required to maintain insurance or demonstrate financial responsibility in order to obtain and maintain their licenses to practice) and to conform terminology throughout the suggested amendments to the APR. The proposed changes would not have any substantive effect on this rule.
