The National Lawyer Regulatory Data Bank is the only nationwide clearinghouse for information regarding public regulatory records of lawyers in the United States. In May 1968, the ABA Board of Governors created the National Lawyer Regulatory Data Bank to ensure effective reciprocal enforcement of lawyer regulatory actions. The principal purpose of the Data Bank is to assist states in determining when lawyers who are licensed in or seeking admission to one jurisdiction have been the subject of a regulatory action in another jurisdiction. The Data Bank is operated by the ABA Center for Professional Responsibility under guidelines established by the Board of Governors. Discounts are available for courts and admission agencies.
