FSC-OPINION: On balance, we conclude that the Bar's proposal in this case is not an acceptable compromise between the position of the Florida Board of Bar Examiners-the entity in which we have reposed our trust to carry out the responsibility of screening the character and fitness of certified legal intern registrants-and the positions of the law schools and programs who rely on the participation of certified legal interns to help serve their clients. Although we are concerned that the current rule may have contributed to the reduced participation in certified legal intern programs, and we agree that this reduction in participation is detrimental to law students, law schools, and the programs themselves, we cannot place those interests, no matter how important, above our duty to ensure that the participating students and graduates, who actually provide legal representation under the supervision of members of The Florida Bar, possess the requisite character and fitness for eventual admission to the practice of law, either in this state or another state of their choice. For this reason, we decline to adopt the proposed amendments at this time . . . It is so ordered.
