[CLBS] LBR 2016.1

[Alexandra Caval]

James,

I am not on Rules Committee but if you look at the recent decisions (about
45 of them) from the Court, you will notice a common theme - one attorney
had a problem with his disclosures and in some cases, with actually
executing representation agreements with his clients. This problem was
brewing last fall and was likely the catalyst behind new LBR 2016.1. While
the offending attorney is no longer practicing in Idaho, the rest of us now
have to comply with this rule.
