    Model Rules For Fee Arbitration - Preface

    Preface

    The Model Rules for Fee Arbitration implement Recommendation 3 of the Report of the Commission on Evaluation of Disciplinary Enforcement (the "McKay Commission," February 1992) in which the American Bar Association called for states to expand their systems of lawyer regulation by establishing mechanisms to resolve disputes between lawyers and clients and to handle non-disciplinary complaints about lawyers. The McKay Commission included a mandatory fee arbitration program among its court-established dispute resolution mechanisms.
