PT Amendments To Rules Regulating The Florida Bar TFB BY: PT John F. Harkness 123390
|
THE FLORIDA BAR'S REQUEST TO PROVIDE SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM
|
|
05/03/2017
|
DISP-DISM WITHOUT PREJUDICE
|
|
Previously, in In re Amend. to Rule Reg. The Fla. Bar 4-7.22-Lawyer Referral Services, 175 So. 3d 779, 781 (Fla. 2015), the Court rejected amendments to Rule Regulating the Florida Bar 4-7.22 proposed by The Florida Bar and directed the Bar to propose amendments that "preclude Florida lawyers from accepting referrals from any lawyer referral service that is not owned or operated by a member of the Bar." In this case, the Bar proposes amendments to rule 4-7.22 that do not comply with the Court's direction concerning lawyer referral services that are not owned or operated by a member of the Bar and that seek to expand the scope of the rule to include "matching services" and other similar services not currently regulated by the Bar.
The Court having considered the Bar's prior petition, the amendments proposed in this case, the comments filed, the Bar's response, and having had the benefit of oral argument, the Bar's petition in this case is hereby dismissed without prejudice to allow the members of this Court to engage in informed discussions with the Bar and those who are in favor or against the proposed regulation of matching and other similar services. The Court lacks sufficient background information on such services and their regulation at this time.
No rehearing will be entertained by this Court.
