Program Summary

This presentation covers California’s new “Snitch” rule, formally CRPC 8.3 entitled “Reporting Professional Misconduct,” which, for the first time, requires California attorneys to report their colleagues for certain “criminal” acts or other misconduct. While much has been made of the possible abuse and over-reporting that will follow the implementation of the rule, the language of the rule itself and carveouts therein make such abuse unlikely. Further, substantially similar rules have long existed in other jurisdictions, and we will look to those jurisdictions to help predict what, if any, impact CRPC 8.3 may have on California.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • What activity falls under CPRC 8.3’s reporting requirement
  • What activity falls within CRPC 8.3’s carveouts
  • What we can learn from other jurisdictions with similar rules

Date / Time: September 12, 2023
