Troubling survey results
An anonymous survey of attorneys has identified the need for
more education about Client Trust Accounting rules. This graphic highlights
some of the most troubling results of the survey, undertaken by the State Bar
in 2015. Director of Professional Competence Randall Difuntorum presented the
results to the Board of Trustees last month, and the board received a list of
staff recommendations for further outreach. Attorneys seeking more information
about Client Trust Accounting rules may find more information on this resource
page of the State Bar website or by calling the Ethics Hotline at
1-800-238-4427 (toll-free in California) or 415-538-2150 (from outside
California).
