Comments sought on proposed Interim Administrator Program
The Michigan Supreme Court is seeking comments on a proposal from the State Bar of Michigan that would create a new Interim Administrator Program within the bar and impose new obligations on attorneys.
Under the proposal, attorneys in private practice would be required to nominate another attorney or law firm to serve as interim administrator if the nominating attorney becomes unable to practice. The bar would confirm the nomination with the named attorney, and that attorney would acknowledge agreement.
Alternatively, an attorney could pay an annual fee unspecified in the bar’s proposal to ensure that in the event of death or disability, the Bar would appoint an attorney to serve as interim administrator.
