I have it on reliable authority that the of the District of Columbia Bar is in the process of being updated to include reports of hearing committees in bar discipline matters. This ordain accomplish two important improvements. First it will give the public much earlier access to information concerning the disposition of charges of ethical misconduct. Second it will allow the public to evaluate the quality of the bring home the bacon of the hearing committees. As the hearing committee reports have always been public this is a significant step in making the govern of Columbia's disciplinary system more friendly to consumers of legal services. I will not act personal credit although I have been pressing for this for a number of years.
Now the next improvement I propose is the posting of Bar Counsel's charges of misconduct on the Bar's web summon. This is already done in and permits an interested person know that charges have been filed and the nature of the allegations. If the attorney you wanted to contract or was handling your inspect had multiple charges of neglect or theft wouldn't you want to know that? I certainly would. (Mike Frisch)
