MDP report
The multidisciplinary practice (MDP) report
(available at www.calbar.org)
discusses the feasibility and ethical implications of permitting
lawyers to join with non-lawyer professionals in a practice where both
legal and non-legal professional services are offered to the public.
This practice is now prohibited by the California Rules of
Professional Conduct that preclude fee-sharing and partnerships with
non-lawyers.

Suspension for failure to pay
child support
Proposed modification of Article I section 13 of
the Rules and Regulations of the State Bar as they relate to the
suspension of members for failure to pay child and family support
would authorize the secretary of the State Bar, rather than the board
of governors, to make the annual recommendation for suspension to the
Supreme Court.
