Amendment History
(P.B. 1978-1997, Sec. 27.)
Plain-English Summary
This rule keeps the courts and the disciplinary system able to reach an attorney at a current address. When an attorney's mailing or street address changes, the attorney must send prompt written notice of the change to the Statewide Grievance Committee, using a registration form approved by the statewide bar counsel, and to the clerk of every court where the attorney has entered an appearance.
The notice runs on two tracks at once — one to the grievance committee and one to each affected court — because both need accurate contact information: the courts to serve papers and orders, and the grievance committee to administer registration and any disciplinary matters.
