State Bar helping attorneys learn more about Rule 21

New resources are available to help Michigan attorneys understand their obligations under Rule 21.

Rule 21 (found in ADM 2020-15) is the most significant rule change impacting Michigan attorneys in at least two decades. It includes two new requirements for private practice attorneys:

• Designate an interim administrator: Attorneys can either designate their own interim administrator (at no cost) or enroll in the State Bar of Michigan’s Interim Administrator Program ($60 per year).

• Name a person with knowledge: Attorneys must identify a person who knows where the actual and virtual keys to the office are located. They do not have to be an attorney.

Attorneys can visit michbar.org/Rule21 to learn more about the rule change, get answers to frequently asked questions and understand obligations if agreeing to serve as an interim administrator.
Rule 21 goes into effect in September and Michigan attorneys have an obligation to fulfill its requirements when they renew their license.
