Bar Counsel Mark W. Gifford told the Board that discussions at an Access to Justice Summit highlighted the need to encourage lawyers to increase pro bono service. Gifford and attorney Walter Eggers drafted proposed changes to Wyoming Rules of Professional Conduct Rule 6.1(b) and asked the Board's approval to publish them for member comment. Commissioner Kevin K. Kessner moved to post the amendments for comment; Commissioner Scott E. Kolpitcke seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The Board did not adopt the rule changes at the meeting; it authorized distribution for comment, which is the typical next step in rule amendments.
