From the Chair
 Over the course of my career, I have been fortunate to enjoy many rewarding challenges and privileges, and I count my tenure on the Disciplinary Board of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania among the greatest of these. It is a veritable honor that, today, I greet you as the 2024-2025 Disciplinary Board Chair. Along with Vice-Chair Gretchen A. Mundorff and the other Members of the Disciplinary Board, I am grateful for the unique responsibilities and charge of this role. I would like to again thank Chief Justice Debra Todd and the Justices of the Supreme Court for this opportunity to uphold the Board’s mission in service of the Commonwealth.
The Board would like to welcome its newest Members, Gaetan J. Alfano, Bryan S. Neft, Catherine R. O'Donnell, and Joshua F. Wilson, whose terms commenced on April 1, 2024. We look forward to their contributions to the Board’s work in protecting the public, maintaining the integrity of the legal profession, and safeguarding the reputation of the courts. As a unified Board, we deeply revere our obligations of service to both Pennsylvania’s public and its legal community.
As we honor the diversity within our communities throughout the calendar year, April’s Autism Acceptance Month recognizes the strengths, experiences, and needs of individuals on the autism spectrum. Pennsylvanians with autism are valued members of our profession, workplaces, schools, and families. Led by Justice Kevin M. Dougherty, the Pennsylvania Courts have dedicated much research, planning, and education toward better supporting court users with autism, further increasing access to justice. I encourage all to visit the Unified Judicial System's "Autism and the Courts" webpage to learn more about this important work.
Acknowledging the critical role well-being plays in attorney ethics, next month, the Board will increase efforts toward raising awareness about mental health amongst legal professionals as we celebrate Well-Being Week in Law and Mental Health Awareness Month.
With sincere gratitude,
John C. Rafferty, Jr.
Board Chair

The Evolving Role of the Attorney Registration Office
Overview
The Attorney Registration Office is the administrative division of the Disciplinary Board which oversees the annual registration of every attorney admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar, with the exception of attorneys admitted pro hac vice under Pa.B.A.R. 301.
The Attorney Registration Office receives and maintains all attorney registration records and annual registration forms filed pursuant to Rule 219 of the Pennsylvania Rules of Disciplinary Enforcement. In addition, the Attorney Registration Office:
- Manages the preparation and implementation of the annual registration process;
- Processes license status changes and other information updates;
- Distributes attorney license cards;
- Assesses non-waivable late payment penalties;
- Distributes notices of administrative suspension for non-compliance with annual registration or Continuing Legal Education requirements;
- Coordinates with the PA Lawyers Fund for Client Security and PA IOLTA Board regarding Approved Financial Institutions; and
- Supervises and maintains the attorney database – from which certain data is shared with other Court agencies.
History of Attorney Registration
From 1973 until 1986, the Pennsylvania Bar Association (PBA), which is a voluntary membership organization, maintained the database of all attorneys admitted to the Pennsylvania Bar and those who were also PBA members. PBA was responsible for PBA Membership, overseeing the mailing of the attorney registration forms and license cards, processing attorney registration payments, and assigning Attorney ID Numbers to newly-admitted attorneys.
If any attorney failed to register, PBA would provide a list of those attorneys to the Disciplinary Board for action. The Disciplinary Board would then send a copy of the Supreme Court Order and delinquency notice to the attorney by certified mail for a chance to clear their delinquencies before the effective date of the Order. Those who did not comply were “Transferred to Inactive Status by Supreme Court Order”. Only active attorneys were placed on this status as there was no annual assessment for voluntary inactive status at the time.
On May 15, 1987, the Disciplinary Board assumed all Attorney Registration functions. At that time, all processing happened on paper. The Attorney Registration Office printed and mailed registration forms and license cards, manually processed the forms and payments, and then filed all records appropriately.
An increase in the attorney population led the Disciplinary Board to seek to improve efficiency. In 2009, a lockbox provider was engaged to process the annual registration forms and payments. In 2010, following a coordinated effort between the Disciplinary Board and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts (AOPC), attorneys were able to submit their registration form and payment online utilizing the Court’s Unified Judicial System Web Portal. In 2016, online registration became mandatory for all attorneys.

Rules
Disciplinary Board Proposes Succession Planning Rule Changes
The Disciplinary Board seeks comments on proposed amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct to require that every active lawyer in private practice in Pennsylvania maintain a written succession plan. The proposal was published at 54 Pa. B. 1041 (3/2/2024).
Under the proposal, a new Rule 1.20 would be added to the Pennsylvania Rules of Professional Conduct The new rule, titled Lawyer Succession Planning, would require that every active lawyer in private practice in Pennsylvania have a written succession plan, either alone or as part of a law firm plan, specifying the steps to be taken in the event of the lawyer's extended incapacity from practicing law, disability, or death. The proposal requires a lawyer to identify an “assisting lawyer” who has consented to carry out the terms of the succession plan, and to notify clients of the existence of the succession plan. The text of the rule and the comments contain additional guidance as to what the succession plan must address and what options for its execution are available. Comment 3 to the proposed rule clarifies that if a lawyer is a member of a firm with other Pennsylvania-admitted lawyers, the firm may be designated as the assisting lawyer.
The proposal would also amend Rule 87.7(b) of the Disciplinary Board Rules and Procedures to provide that the DB-7 letter by which Disciplinary Counsel notifies a respondent-attorney of a complaint may also inquire as to the respondent-attorney’s compliance with RPC 1.20 and request that the respondent-attorney produce a copy of the succession plan.
Written comments, suggestions or objections may be submitted to the Executive Office of the Disciplinary Board by Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on or before May 1, 2024 by mail, email, or fax to the Executive Office of the Disciplinary Board.

Articles of Interest
Lawyer Gives Up License After Stealing Ambulance
We have all heard stories of lawyers being labeled as “ambulance chasers,” but a Chicago lawyer turned that on its head after he stole a Chicago Fire Department ambulance and led authorities on an hour-long pursuit.
Chicago lawyer Benjamin Herrington was arrested after stealing an ambulance and driving it 55 miles as police pursued him. He was convicted of Criminal Trespass to Vehicle, a misdemeanor, and sentenced to two years of conditional discharge (180 days in county jail already served) and fined $7000. He also was ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $7,833.44, obtain a drug, alcohol, and mental health evaluation, and complete any recommended treatment.
Disciplinary charges were brought against Herrington, and he elected to move that his name be stricken from the list of lawyers although the Administrator of the Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Commission indicated that the conduct did not warrant disbarment.
In an email to the ABA Journal, Herrington stated that he had concluded continuing in the practice of law was not in his interest, and that he is pursuing a career as a writer. He added that he was “grateful, daily, to be alive, healthy and on the road to recovery from the significant injuries I suffered in connection with my arrest and during my time in jail”.
ABA Opinion Addresses Use of Information by Former and Current Government Lawyers
The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility has issued Formal Opinion No. 509 which provides extensive guidance on the use of confidential governmental information by current and former government lawyers, under the provisions of Rule 1.11 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct ( Pennsylvania version). The opinion is essential reading for any lawyer who enters private practice after government service, who continues to represent private clients while serving in a part-time governmental role, or who serves as a public lawyer called upon to consider information obtained by other governmental agencies.
The Committee notes that the purpose of Rule 1.11 is to protect individuals from the misuse of information that an entity of government used its authority to acquire. The opinion focuses in particular on Rule 1.11(c). This section states that a lawyer having confidential government information about a person acquired when the lawyer was a public officer or employee may not represent a private client with adverse interests in a matter in which the information could be used to the material disadvantage of that person. "Confidential government information" is defined as information obtained under governmental authority, which the government is prohibited by law from disclosing to the public, has a legal privilege not to disclose, or which is not otherwise available to the public.
The Committee notes that Rule 1.11(c) differs from the other provisions of Rule 1.11, which deal only with lawyers who have left public employment for private practice, in that it applies to both former and current government lawyers even if they did not acquire the information in a representative capacity. It cites examples of police officers, legislators, public executives, and others who also have a part-time legal practice. Such part-time public officers are prohibited from representing a private client in a matter where confidential information they learned about an adverse party in their public role could be used to the disadvantage of that person.
The Committee points out that this prohibition does not apply to all public information, but only to that information the agency is prohibited from revealing to the public or holds a privilege to. This provision is broader than the prohibition of Rule 1.6 on use of confidential information acquired in the course of a representation. A “private client” for these purposes may include a different government agency that does not have a legal right of access to the protected information.
In conclusion, the Committee states:
Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.11(c) applies to a lawyer who acquired confidential government information while the lawyer was employed by or an official of the government, regardless of whether the lawyer seeking to represent the private client has now left government employ or office or maintains a private law practice (e.g., a part-time practice) while still in government employ or office.
Avoiding Disqualification Due to Prospective Client Conflicts: ABA Formal Opinion
The American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility has issued Formal Opinion No. 510 which provides guidance for steps lawyers and law firms must take to avoid disqualification due to information received from prospective clients.
The opinion examines the issue of whether attorneys and firms will be disqualified based on information gathered from prospective clients under Rule 1.18 of the Model Rules of Professional Conduct ( Pennsylvania version). The Committee notes that under section (c), a lawyer may not represent a client adverse to a prospective client in the same or a substantially related matter if the lawyer received information from the prospective client that could be significantly harmful to that prospective client. The second sentence of the section provides a safe harbor: the lawyer and their firm will not be disqualified if the lawyer “took reasonable measures to avoid exposure to more disqualifying information than was reasonably necessary to determine whether to represent the prospective client”.
Formal Opinion 492 (2020) discussed what kinds of information could be disqualifying, such as views on the potential resolution options, personal accounts of relevant events, sensitive personal information, and strategies. Formal Opinion 510 addresses at length what might be “reasonable measures” to avoid exposure to disqualifying information. The Opinion states that lawyers must exercise discretion throughout the initial communications with prospective clients and limit the information sought to that which is necessary to decide whether to enter into representation. The Committee recommends that the lawyer should also warn the prospective client that the lawyer has not yet agreed to take on the matter and cautioned them not to volunteer information pertaining to the matter until after the lawyer has determined whether to undertake the representation. The Committee notes that the lawyer may choose to collect more information to attempt to persuade the client that the lawyer’s services are a good fit but should recognize that this approach runs the risk of disqualification from representing adverse parties if the prospective client decides to go elsewhere.
If the lawyer learns disqualifying information and failed to take reasonable measures to avoid receiving more information than necessary to determine whether to accept the representation, the lawyer’s conflict will be imputed to the lawyer’s firm, and the entire firm may be disqualified from representing any party whose interests are materially adverse to those of the prospective client.
Bad Romance: Rock Star Loses When Lawyer Files Opponent’s Brief
All is not well with the classic rock band The Romantics. While the lineup is apparently still intact, lead singer Walter Palamarchuk, professionally known as Wally Palmar, and the band’s management group, Master Beat, Inc., have sued bassist and guitarist Mike Skill, claiming that Skill diverted royalties which should have gone to the company for distribution.
The case took a surprising turn during motions regarding summary disposition. After the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary disposition, a new attorney entered her appearance on behalf of Skill. On the same day, the trial court issued a scheduling order setting a date for Skill’s response to the motion and his request to seal the record. On the due date listed in the scheduling order, Skill’s new attorney filed a brief in opposition to the motion for summary disposition. However, the body of the brief was a verbatim copy of the plaintiffs’ brief in support of summary disposition, even including in the prayer for relief a request that the plaintiffs’ motion be granted. The next day, counsel for Skill attempted to file a corrected brief, but the court refused to allow it. Counsel contended that she was hampered by tight timelines and personal illness, and that a paralegal filed a copy of the plaintiffs’ brief instead of the one she wrote. The court noted that defendant was given two opportunities to respond to plaintiffs’ motion for summary disposition, and the only timely filed response concurred in plaintiffs’ requested relief and awarded judgment for treble damages.
On appeal, the Michigan Court of Appeals affirmed, noting that Skill’s attorney’s signature on the brief constituted a certification that she had read the document, and that the document was “well grounded in fact and . . . warranted by existing law”. The Court of Appeals held that Skills was bound by his attorney’s action in concurring with the relief requested in the plaintiffs’ motion.
It is unlikely that Skill is singing “What I Like About You” to his attorney these days.
Despite their name, The Romantics are no strangers to the courts, having engaged in litigation with their former management company and filed an unsuccessful suit against Activision for the use of “What I Like About You” in the Guitar Hero game Rocks the 80s.

Confidential 24/7 Helpline: 1-888-999-1941
