The CPR/SOC Professional Responsibility Committee met during the ABA Midyear Meeting and discussed then-pending professional responsibility-related Resolutions going before the House of Delegates, including the Resolutions regarding the specialization certification and Resolution 101A, which was proposed to provide a limited attorney/client privilege between clients and their non-attorney patent-agent. Participants from the various sections also discussed the proposed advertising amendments to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, which are open for comment.
