Developments in discipline and ethics in Pennsylvania and the nation. Because it's not always black and white.

Limited License For 2020 Law Grads

Very Big News from the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania was posted on the The Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania website this afternoon! Candidates for the postponed July 2020 Bar Exam will now be eligible for a temporary “limited license” permitting them to practice under the “direct and ongoing” supervision of an attorney who has been admitted for over five years. Kudos to the Court for its flexibility and compassion. Read the order here: https://lnkd.in/dbyWV3s
