Nevada Supreme Court Approves Changes to Lawyer Advertising Rules.
The Nevada Supreme Court yesterday announced its unanimous approval of new rules for attorney advertising. The new rules go into effect September 1, 2007.
The new rules prohibit attorneys form making claims that could lead to unjustified expectations claims, and, if special fee arrangements are part of the advertising, require complete disclosure of the details. Attorneys must also maintain resumes to be given to prospective clients upon request.
Another important change is that the new rules no longer attempt to regulate taste in attorney advertising. No doubt this will help the court avoid situation like that of the Florida Bar, as reported in the previous post.
The text of the amendments appear to still be posted on the Nevada Supreme Court web site as proposed changes.
