With everything there is to keep track of, many of us don‘t find out about adopted or proposed rule changes in a timely manner. Unforuntately, there are times when the change has been in effect for a while—sometimes with negative consequences. Fortunately for us, CBA CLE keeps up-to-date on adopted rules and proposed rules, and then publishes them in one place (with commentary). Here‘s how to find out about proposed and adopted rule changes:
- Go to CBA CLE‘s Legal Connection at cbaclelegalconnection.com. If you don‘t have this URL memorized, you can always get there by going to the CBA‘s main page at cobar.org and clicking on one of the articles to the left of the CBA CLE Legal Connection logo in the middle of the page.
- Hold your curser over UPDATES near the upper left-hand corner, and a drop-down menu will give you a choice of Adopted Rule Changes or Proposed Rule Changes.
- The posted information is in chronological order, with the most current postings on top. Included in the post is typically information summarizing the rule change, a link to the text of the change, a red-lined copy (if available), the date it goes into effect, and comment periods or hearings on proposed rule changes.
Now you know where to go! You can either check the site regularly by seting up a recurring appointment on your Outlook calendar, or subscribing to either an email update or RSS feed.
