VSB Seeks Comments on proposed amendments to Supreme Court Rules defining judicial class members
The Virginia State Bar seeks public comment on proposed amendments to Part 6, Section IV, Para. 3(c) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia defining Judicial class members of the VSB.
The proposed amendments by the VSB Bench Bar Relations Committee are primarily intended to address concerns that the existing rule is both underinclusive — by excluding certain judges, and overinclusive — by including occupations that do not require a law license.
Inspection and Comment
The proposed rule amendments may be inspected below, or at the office of the Virginia State Bar, 1111 East Main Street, Suite 700, Richmond, Virginia 23219-0060, between the hours of 9:00 am and 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday.
Any individual, business, or other entity may submit written comments in support of or in opposition to the proposed opinion with Cameron M. Rountree, interim executive director of the Virginia State Bar, not later than September 16, 2022. Comments may be submitted via email to publiccomment@vsb.org.
