Lawyers, judges, clients, law students and others are encouraged to attend and provide testimony or engage in discussion with commission members as to any perceptions, problems, or concerns they may have on these issues. The commission is examining how the present structure of regulating lawyers serves the public, the legal profession, and client needs in light of the fact that American society and business today are less defined by geography, and lawyers increasingly find themselves representing clients who have a presence in multiple jurisdictions. The commission is looking for a wide range of views, experiences and insight on these issues, and encourages broad participation in its efforts.
Reporters are welcome to attend the hearing.
