| UPDATE: CALDA's Open Letter to President of State Bar of California |
 | | Ian M. Duncan, CALDA President |
Dear Members:
On Wednesday, March 6, I attended the regular meeting of the State Bar Board of Trustees along with Carol Ludlow and Terri O'Connor from CALDA, and Kerry Spence from CELA (Cost Effective Legal Access). CAPA (California Alliance of Paralegal Associations) was also represented at the meeting. The Bar voted to authorize one of its committees to study the creation of the "Limited License Legal Technician", which would be authorized to dispense limited forms of legal advice.
I attended in order to represent CALDA and to provide public comment on this proposal. As we already knew would be the case, nothing was actually implemented on Wednesday's meeting, as the action taken at this meeting was only to authorize the study of this concept. However I believe it's extremely important that CALDA is represented each and every time the State Bar discusses this proposal. They were actually rather surprised to see us, I'm somewhat tickled to say,and I think that our comments helped set the tone for the discussion and debate that will surely ensue.
As I've reported before, you can be assured that CALDA will follow these developments closely and will participate vigorously in the coming proceedings.
Kind regards,
Ian Duncan
CALDA President
