NOTICE REGARDING MILITARY RECRUITMENT In order to conduct job interviews in the law school or to obtain assistance from the Career Services Office, prospective employers must sign a statement of nondiscrimination based on race, color, religion, nationality, gender, disability or sexual orientation.  Federal laws relating to military service preclude representatives of the Armed Forces from signing the nondiscrimination statement in its entirety.  Congress also has enacted a statute, known as the Solomon Amendment, requiring that federal funding -- including several categories of student loans -- be terminated at any educational institution that refuses access to military recruiters.  Therefore, the law school grants access to military recruiters who sign the nondiscrimination statement to the extent consistent with federal law.

NOTICE REGARDING MILITARY RECRUITMENT 

In order to conduct job interviews in the law school or to obtain assistance from the Career Services Office, prospective emp loyers must sign a statement of nondiscrimination based on race, color, religion, nationality, gender, disability or sexual orientation.  Federal laws relating to military service preclude representatives of the Armed Forces from signing the nondiscrimination statement in its entirety.  Congress also has enacted a statute, known as the Solomon Amendment, requiring that federal funding -- including several categories of student loans -- be terminated at any educational institution that refuses access to military recruiters.  Therefore, the law school grants access to military recruiters who sign the nondiscrimination statement to the extent consistent with federal law.

Lawyers Mutual Insurance Agency, LLC will pay $20 an hour for research and development of outlines for the following topics:

1.       Supervisory Professional Responsibilities

 KRPC 5.1 deals with the duty of partners, managers and supervisory lawyers to make sure that other lawyers under their supervision conform to ethical practices.  KRPC 5.3 deals with the duty of lawyers to make sure that non-lawyers assist (e.g., paralegals) who work for them likewise conform to ethical practices.  References to these rules is made in the Risk Manager Vol. 20, Issue 3 “Boss Professional Responsibility” and in the Bench & Bar magazine.

2.       Returning Client Files

Revised KRPC 1.16 makes it clear that a lawyer cannot make return of a client’s file contingent upon payment of his/her fees.  Still, there is a lot of confusion about this amongst some lawyers.  For example, it is permissible to withhold uncompensated work product from a client’s returned file in some circumstances.  Some definitive guidance would be useful.  Reference can be found in the Risk Manager Vol. 21, Issue 1 and in the Bench & Bar Magazine.
