It’s always good to see an Arizona Justice in the news.
Last week, I mentioned a draft report from an Arizona Supreme Court committee that examines many elements of the State Bar of Arizona. And this week, task force chair and Arizona Justice Rebecca White Berch spoke on the PBS program Horizon about the group’s work.
Justice Berch also invited viewers to read the report and to send their own comments via email to bargovernance@courts.az.gov.
Justice Berch and Horizon provide the email for public comment on the task force report.
The task force’s website includes detail about its members, information about its many meetings, and a link to the draft report.
You can link directly to the report here.
On Horizon, Justice Berch discussed why the task force chose to keep a mandatory bar (with one dissent), and how important it is for all attorneys to pay for the various programs whether they use them or not.
I have a link to the Horizon program with the Justice Berch interview, though I hesitate to have you click it. AZPBS is notorious for posting a link that should work but really won’t be ready for days (<buffer> <buffer> <buffer>). Fingers crossed on this link.
