Summary

The Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection, which is financed by a portion of each attorney registration fee, reimburses law clients for losses caused by dishonest conduct in the practice of law. Learn about the Fund’s role in protecting clients and the integrity of the legal profession. The basics of attorney escrow accounts and a lawyer’s fiduciary obligations in handling client funds will be discussed along with the Fund’s role in important court rules such as the Dishonored/Overdraft Check Reporting Rule and governing escrow funds owed to missing clients or in the escrow account of a deceased attorney and sole signatory.
