ABA Commission 20/20 releases proposals on foreign lawyers

The ABA Commission on Ethics 20/20 has released for comment, along with a Cover Memo from Co-Chairs Jamie S. Gorelick and Michael Traynor, revised drafts relating to inbound foreign lawyers.

The first two revised drafts describe possible amendments to ABA Model Rule 5.5 and to the ABA Model Rule for Registration of In-House Counsel. The third relates to the ABA Model Rule on Pro Hac Vice Admission.  Comments will assist the Commission in its consideration of these issues. You can e-mail your comments by October 12, 2012, to Senior Research Paralegal Natalia Vera at Natalia.Vera@americanbar.org.
