The requirement that lawyers be able to account to their
clients for all money entrusted to them is not just some modern bureaucratic
regulation to make it hard to practice law. Its roots and the reasons go back
centuries. Of course, the requirements today are mostly not left to common-law
development, but instead are expressed in the Rules of Professional Conduct.
This course will tie the steps of trust accounting, including pooled IOLTA
accounts, back to the text of the Rules. It will show how the methods for
keeping trust accounts by computer have their source in specific
requirements.
This CLE is approved for
credit through May 23, 2020.
