State Bar of Michigan to host virtual Lawyer Trust Account Webinar


Michigan attorneys will be able to learn how to ethically manage lawyer trust accounts during the State Bar of Michigan’s half-day virtual Lawyer Trust Account Webinar on Tuesday, June 24.

The cost is $25 and the session will cover management principles, recordkeeping resources for client and third-party funds, and practical information regarding MRPC 1.15 and 1.15A. Scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon, the webinar is open to members of the Bar and their legal staff.

Payment and completed registration must be received by 5 p.m. Friday, June 20. All materials will be emailed to the registered email address approximately one week prior to the seminar.  To register, visit www.michbar.org/trustaccounts.

For additional information, contact the State Bar of Michigan Ethics Helpline at 877-558-4760 or ethics@michbar.org.

Printed attorney directory available


For those who prefer the convenience of a printed book, the State Bar of Michigan’s 2025 Directory of Michigan Attorneys is a must-have for an office.   The State Bar of Michigan is bringing back the printed directory as a pilot program. SBM heard from members asking for the option of a printed directory and responded.

This hands-on reference book lists active Michigan attorneys’ contact information—including address, phone number, fax number, and email address.   It does not include detailed court listings or other similar information, which is available in the SBM online Resource Directory at www.michbar.org/Publications/Resource-Directory.  The most up-to-date information on attorney status and contact information is always available in the free online Member Directory at michbar.org.

The printed attorney directory can be purchased for $45 through the State Bar of Michigan online store at https://store.michbar.org/Store-Search.  The store is located within SBM’s online member area, and customers will be prompted to log in.  Non-attorneys can create an online account and get access to the SBM Store by signing up at https://e.michbar.org/Member-Type.
