The State Bar of Michigan will present a half-day seminar, "Lawyer Trust Accounts: Management Principles and Recordkeeping Resources," on Tuesday, Feb. 28 at the State Bar of Michigan Michael Franck Building in Lansing.
This ethics seminar — from 1:15-4:45 p.m. — will feature presentations on how to ethically manage lawyer trust accounts and effectively use forms, checklists and other recordkeeping resources.
Organizers say the event, open to lawyers and their staff members, is an excellent way to learn more about Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct 1.15 and 1.15A.
Participants will receive practical information as well as materials prepared by the presenters: SBM Professional Standards Division Director Danon Goodrum-Garland, SBM Assistant General Counsel Nkrumah Johnson-Wynn, Professional Standards Assistant Counsel Alecia Ruswinckel and Attorney Grievance Commission Senior Associate Counsel Rhonda Pozehl.
The registration fee is $50 for lawyers and $25 for non-lawyers.
Payment and the completed registration form must be received by Friday, Feb. 24.
No walk-in registrations will be accepted.
For more information, contact Karen Spohn with the SBM Professional Standards Division at 517.346.6309 or via e-mail at kspohn@mail.michbar.org.
