New resources are available to help Michigan attorneys understand their obligations under Rule 21 — and even fulfill its requirements. Rule 21 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, get answers to frequently asked questions, and understand obligations if agreeing to serve as an interim administrator. The June issue of Michigan Bar Journal includes detailed information. The SBM “On Balance” podcast features a discussion about Rule 21.
Attorneys can fulfill the requirements of Rule 21 now by logging into michbar.org/MemberArea.
Rule 21 goes into effect in September; attorneys have an obligation to fulfill its requirements when they renew their license.
