Executive Committee Seeks Comments on Proposal to Add E-mail and Phone Number to Address of Record
The Virginia State Bar is seeking public comment on proposed changes to the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia Part 6, § IV, Organization & Government of the Virginia State Bar, Paragraph 3.
3. Classes of Membership—
Members of the Virginia State Bar shall be divided into five classes, namely: (a) Active Members, (b) Associate Members, (c) Judicial Members, (d) Disabled and Retired Members; and (e) Emeritus Members. Each member shall submit in writing to the membership department of the Virginia State Bar an address of record which will be used for all membership and regulatory purposes, including official mailings and notices of disciplinary proceedings. The address of record shall include a current street address, e-mail address (if any), telephone number, and any post office address the member may use. If a member’s address of record is not a physical address where process can be served, the member must submit in writing to the membership department an alternate address where process can be served. The alternate address is personal information and shall not be disclosed pursuant to Section 2.2-3704, Code of Virginia. Members have a duty promptly to notify the membership department in writing of any changes in either the address of record or any alternate address. Any change in either the address of record or any alternate address information shall be promptly reported in writing to the membership department or changed online at the Virginia State Bar website within thirty days of its effective date. Members, by request, may have their names and addresses removed from the Virginia State Bar's membership list when it is distributed for other than official purposes.
Comments should be submitted to Karen A. Gould, Executive Director, Virginia State Bar, 1111 E. Main St., Suite 700, Richmond, VA 23219-3565, no later than the end of the business day on the day on August 15, 2014. Comments may be submitted via e-mail to publiccomment@vsb.org.
