董事会 on Professional Responsibility

规则1.15 of the District of Columbia 规则 of Professional Conduct, 于八月一日修订, 2010, requires that all trust funds be kept in an “approved depository,” and that trust funds that are nominal in amount or expected to be held for a short period of time be held in an approved depository in compliance with the District of Columbia’s Interest on Lawyers Trust Account (“IOLTA”) program. To be an approved depository, D.C. 酒吧R. XI, § 20 requires a financial institution to file an undertaking with the 董事会 on Professional Responsibility agreeing (i) to report to Disciplinary Counsel overdrafts or other irregularities in trust accounts and to respond to subpoenas from Disciplinary Counsel and (ii) for financial institutions that elect to offer IOLTA trust accounts, to pay interest and charge fees on IOLTA accounts that are comparable to non-IOLTA accounts and to submit the interest and periodic reports to the D.C. 酒吧 Foundation, which administers the IOLTA program.

NOTICE: Lawyers should be aware that in some instances, bank branches located outside the District of Columbia have not opened DC IOLTA accounts correctly. This is because these branches may treat the accounts as belonging to the state where the branch is located instead of as DC IOLTA accounts. Lawyers may wish to confirm that the branch bank is properly opening the accounts as DC IOLTA accounts and not as IOLTA accounts in the state where the branch is located. For questions about opening DC IOLTA accounts, contact the D.C. 酒吧 Foundation at 202-467-3750 or Dan Mills, assistant director, D.C. 酒吧 Practice Management Advisory Service, at 202-737-4700, ext. 3212 or (电子邮件保护).
