NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT

STATE OF MAINE SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT NOTICE AND OPPORTUNITY FOR COMMENT

Proposed Repeal and Replacement of the Maine Bar Rules

Comments due on or before September 12, 2014 at 4:00 p.m.


For those who are looking for a chuckle please find an opportunity to comment on the Proposed rules for the Maine Bar. The last set of rules were about as useful as nothing. Those were the rules that kept a lawyer in practice after her called in two bomb threats (his Meds were off) and numerous lawyers who were seen before the Bar and let off with a slap.
