 The Basics of Trust Accounting: Complying with the Disciplinary Board Rule 17-204
Attend in at the State Bar Center or by Webcast!
Effective Dec. 31, 2016, the New Mexico Supreme Court adopted modifications to Rule 17-204 NMRA, which is the rule pertaining to attorney trust accounts. Among other things, the rule requires that once every three years, all licensed NM attorneys, with very limited exceptions as set forth in the Rule, take a one-hour trust accounting course approved by the New Mexico Disciplinary Board. Currently, the State Bar of New Mexico Center for Legal Education is the only approved course provider. For more information, lawyers should carefully read Rule 17-204 NMRA. Six sessions are already scheduled through the end of the year with more to come. Find the session that works with your schedule.
