Dear Panel Attorneys,
As you may know, the State Bar recently issued Formal Opinion (No. 2024-209), explaining how attorneys in California have an ethical obligation to protect their client’s interests throughout representation – this includes in the event they are unable to continue practicing law on a temporary or permanent basis. To assist our panel attorneys in preparing for such unexpected circumstances, it is helpful for CAP-LA to have a contact person.
Attached is a fillable form we ask that you complete and return to Bridget@lacap.com. All information provided, will remain on-file at CAP-LA and otherwise confidential.
