MONTANA SUPREME COURT RULES INTERNAL OPERATING RULES

Section I - Classification & Consideration for Summary Disposition, Rebriefing & Submission on Briefs 1. Upon receipt of appellant’s reply brief, or after the time for filing the same has expired, the office of the clerk of court shall promptly deliver copies of the briefs to all justices and to the chief justice all district court files. All documents subsequently received pertaining to such cases shall be promptly delivered to the chief justice. 2. The chief justice then shall assign each case to a panel of five justices and place each case on a conference agenda at least one week later. 3. On the conference date the following procedure will be used in considering the cases set for conference: (a) Each case will be discussed by the justices assigned to that case. The first issue shall be oral argument. If three justices request oral argument, the case will be set for oral argument en banc, and no further discussion will be held on that case. If a justice would like to discuss assigning a case for oral argument prior to the conference for which the case is scheduled, the case shall be placed on the next appropriate classification conference agenda en banc for pruposes of discussing oral argument of the case. (b) If an appeal is deemed frivolous, it will be summarily dismissed. If a case is found to be insufficiently briefed, it will be returned to counsel for such rebriefing as is required. (c) If an appeal presents no constitutional issues, no issues of first impression, does not establish new precedent or modify existing precedent, or, in the opinion of the Court, would otherwise not be of future guidance for citation purposes to the citizens of Montana, the bench, or the bar, the Court may classify that appeal as one for a noncitable opinion. The decision for the case will provide the ultimate disposition without a detailed statement of facts or law. The decision shall not be citeable as precedent but shall be filed as a public document with the clerk; shall be reported by result only to the State Reporter Publishing Company and to West Group along with the case title and Supreme Court cause number in the quarterly table of noncitable cases issued by this Court; and shall be assigned a public domain, neutral format citation in accordance with the Court’s order dated December 16, 1997, and posted to the State Bulletin Board. (d) (i) After all briefs have been filed in any appeal, the Supreme Court by unanimous action may, sua sponte, enter an order or memorandum opinion affirming the judgment or order of the trial court for the reason that it is manifest on the face of the briefs and the record that the appeal is without merit because: (1) the issues are clearly controlled by settled Montana law or federal law binding upon the states; (2) the issues are factual and there clearly is sufficient evidence to support the jury verdict or findings of fact below; or (3) the issues are ones of judicial discretion and there clearly was not an abuse of discretion. (ii) Notwithstanding the provision in section (i) requiring unanimous action, an order or memorandum opinion affirming the judgment or order of the trial court may be entered pursuant to subsections (1) through (3) of section (i) on a majority vote, even though the claim may have merit in the view of the minority, provided that all justices participating in the action shall agree that such summary disposition of the action may be made. (iii) After all briefs have been filed in any appeal, the Supreme Court by unanimous action may, sua sponte, enter an order or

memorandum opinion reversing the judgment or order of the trial court for the reason that it is manifest on the face of the briefs and the record that the order or judgment is clearly erroneous for one or more of the following reasons: (1) summary judgment was erroneously granted because a genuine issue of material fact exists; (2) the judgment or order was clearly contrary to settled Montana law or federal law binding upon the states; or (3) the issue on appeal is one of judicial discretion and there clearly was an abuse of discretion. (iv) Notwithstanding the provision in section (iii) requiring unanimous action, an order or memorandum opinion reversing the judgment or order of the trial court may be entered pursuant to subsections (1) through (3) of section (iii) on a majority vote, even though the claim may have merit in the view of the minority, provided that all justices participating in the action shall agree that such summary disposition of the action may be made. (v) A list indicating the disposition of all decisions rendered by the Supreme Court under this section shall be published quarterly in the Pacific and Montana Reporters. Such decisions shall not be cited or relied upon as authority in any litigation in any court in Montana except when the decision establishes the law of the case, res judicata or collateral estoppel, or in a criminal action or proceeding involving the same defendant or a disciplinary action or proceeding involving the same person. (vi) A petition for rehearing of a cause decided under this section may be served and filed pursuant to the provisions of Rule 34, M.R.App.P. (e) If the case is classified as submitted on briefs, the five justices on the panel will discuss the merits of the case and take a tentative vote. If four or more justices reach a conclusion, the case then will be assigned by the chief justice to one of the five justices on the panel for opinion writing, and that date will be the submission date for that case. If four justices do not vote for one position, the case will be assigned for en banc consideration at the conference one week later. (f) Appropriate orders shall advise counsel of summary disposition, rebriefing requirements, and submission on brief or abbreviated opinion assignment. (g) Cases classified for oral argument shall be placed on the calendar. An appropriate order shall promptly give notice of the time set for hearing oral argument.

Section II - Oral Argument 1. A conference will be held following oral argument. The members of the Court will discuss and vote on the case. 2. Oral argument cases on which a vote has not yet been taken will receive first priority at all Court conferences. A justice absent at a subsequent conference will be responsible for presenting his or her views in writing in time for conference. 3. When four justices have reached a tentative decision on a case, that case will be assigned for opinion writing by the chief justice. The date the case is assigned for opinion writing is the submission date for the case.

Section III - Opinions 1. The basic aim is that the final opinion in each case shall be signed and filed with the clerk not later than 180 days following the submission date. Complexity of issues and case load may require additional time for filing of the final opinion with the clerk. 2. Within the foregoing period of 180 days, the following apply: (a) Within ninety days of the submission date, the opinion-writing justice shall circulate an opinion draft. The ninety-day period for

Section IV - Operation as Seven Justice & Five Justice Court

1. The Supreme Court en banc shall consist of seven members. The Court en banc shall hear all cases in which the accused shall have been sentenced to death, cases in which a bona fide challenge is made to the constitutionality of a statute, cases involving a question certified to the Court by another court pursuant to Rule 44, Montana Rules of Appellate Procedure, and such cases as shall be determined by two or more justices to require a hearing en banc. 2. Any petition for rehearing shall be considered by those justices hearing the case in the first instance. Whether decided by a five judge panel or en banc, if four members would grant a petition for rehearing, the petition shall be granted. Those justices hearing the case in the first instance shall then determine whether to decide the case on the briefs or after oral argument. If a petition for rehearing is granted, the parties to the appeal will be notified as to whether the case will be decided on briefs or after oral argument. 3. All proposed opinions shall be circulated to all justices, whether members of the panel or not. Any justice who is not a panel member may request participation in the panel conference on such proposed opinion.

Section V - Orders of the Court 1. This section is designed to provide a more efficient, streamlined and speedier procedure for issuing and executing orders of the Court, and to conserve its judicial resources. All orders covered by part 2 of this section shall be signed by the chief justice or in his or her absence, the acting chief justice, on behalf of the court in this manner:

For the Court By

Chief Justice

2. The following orders shall be signed as provided in part 1: (a) All orders based on stipulation of counsel. (b) All orders covering matters decided by the Court in conference, with the exception of orders granting or denying petitions for rehearing. (c) All orders fixing or extending the time within which an act must be done. (d) All orders concerning court calendars, case classifications, participation in and time limits for oral argument, applications for filing of briefs or for oral argument for amicus curiae and related orders. (e) All interlocutory orders. 3. The following matters shall require the individual signatures of a majority of the justices: (a) All opinions. (b) Orders granting or denying rehearing, orders of dismissal, or other final dispositions.

Section

VI - Judicial Rulemaking

1. An application for the adoption, rescission, amendment or implementation of a rule or program regulating Montana’s lawyers may be made to the Supreme Court at any time. The moving party’s application and all supporting documents shall be filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court. 2. The Supreme Court shall consider the application at the Court’s next conference following the filing of the application. 3. If the Court believes additional discussion or information on the subject of the application is required, the court may provide a comment period for proponents and opponents to state their views on the application. The Court may also use this opportunity to voice its comments on the subject. 4. If comments are received, the Court shall provide the moving party an opportunity to respond to the comments. Response of the moving party includes not only substantive discussion of the comments received, but also potentially substantive changes to the subject matter of the application. 5. If substantive changes are made to the proposed rule or program by the applicants, the Court may re-open the comment and response periods. 6. Free flow of information is encouraged. 7. The publication of the application for the adoption, recision, amendment or implementation of a rule, program or order, whether for comment or after final action by the Court, may be accomplished at the Court’s discretion, by publication in The Montana Lawyer magazine, by electronic publication on the websites of the State Law Library, the Court, or the State Bar of Montana, or by any combination thereof. 8. The adoption of this process is in no way intended to interfere with or preclude operation of the Supreme Court’s original, inherent and exclusive jurisdiction and responsibility under Article VII, Section 2(3) of the Constitution of the State of Montana to make rules governing the conduct of Bar members.

Section VII - General 1. The chief justice shall assign all cases on a rotation basis among the justices. The chief justice shall rotate on the fivemember panels in the same manner as other justices and shall hear a like number of cases. The chief justice shall be assigned one-third fewer cases for opinion than other justices because of his or her additional administrative duties. 2. The Supreme Court shall generally hold a conference on Tuesday afternoon. At all conferences, oral argument cases without a submission date shall be given top priority. The chief justice shall prepare an agenda for each conference. The agenda for the Tuesday conference shall be distributed by the preceding Friday afternoon. In the event any Justice is unable to attend a conference, if possible he or she shall advise the chief justice two days prior to the date of the conference. In addition the justice shall submit a written vote setting forth his or her decisions on matters to be discussed at the conference. 3. The chief justice shall preside over all matters on which he or she sits. If the chief justice is not sitting on that case, the member of the Court with the shortest time to serve shall be the acting chief justice for that case. 4. In those cases in which a justice disqualifies himself or herself, the chief justice or acting chief justice shall designate a replacement. 5. These rules may be suspended or waived by order of the Supreme Court. 6. At the first weekly conference in each month, the clerk shall prepare and circulate among the justices a written report listing all matters which are past due under these rules, and giving the status of all uncompleted applications for writs, motions, and other matters requiring the attention of the Court. 7. Orders, as distinguished from memorandum opinions or full opinions, shall not be published. 8. A full written opinion shall be prepared unless the Court shall determine the disposition shall be by order or by memorandum opinion. An example of disposition by order is the following:

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

circulation of an opinion draft is a basic aim; however case load and complexity of issues may require additional time. The draft opinion shall be considered at the next Thursday conference, subject to the requirement that the opinion must be circulated by Monday in order to be considered on Thursday. (b) At the conference the opinion draft shall be voted upon. If four justices vote in favor, the draft shall be finalized. (c) A justice shall circulate copies of his or her signed dissenting or concurring opinion as soon as practical after the date on which a majority approve a proposed opinion. 3. If the dissent or special concurring opinion is not signed within ten days of the date on which the majority opinion was approved in Court conference, then the majority opinion shall be filed with the clerk without prejudice to the later filing of a dissenting or concurring opinion.

ORDER On December 30, 1998, this Court issued an Order granting the bench and bar of this State, and any other interested persons, 90 days to prepare and file with the Clerk of this Court written comments, suggestions, or criticisms of the Proposed Standards for Competency of Counsel for Indigent Persons in Death Penalty Cases. Said comment period having expired and this Court having deemed this matter submitted for final determination, we now adopt these standards. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the attached Standards for Competency of Counsel for Indigent Persons in Death Penalty Cases shall be effective for appointments of counsel from and after January 1, 2000. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of this Court provide copies of this Order, together with a copy of the attached standards, to each of the Clerks of the District Courts of the State of Montana, to each of the District Judges of the State of Montana, to each member of the Proposed Standards Committee and to the State Bar of Montana, with the request that a copy of this Order and the attached standards be published in the next possible issue of the Montana Lawyer. Dated this 29th day of June, 1999. (Signed: all 7 justices) STANDARDS FOR COMPETENCY OF COUNSEL FOR INDIGENT PERSONS IN DEATH PENALTY CASES I. TRIAL PHASE 1. a. In any case in which death is a potential punishment, the prosecutor shall comply with Section 46-1-401, MCA, and shall file with the district court, within 60 days after arraignment, and serve upon counsel of record a notice stating whether the prosecutor intends to seek the death penalty upon a conviction in the case. b. The prosecutor may withdraw the notice of intent to seek the death penalty provided in this standard at any time by filing with the district court and serving counsel of record with a notice of withdrawal of intent to seek the death penalty. 2. Upon establishment of indigency as provided in Title 46, Chapter 8, Part 1, Montana Code Annotated, and identification of a case as one in which the prosecutor believes sufficient evidence exists to show that one or more statutory aggravating factors under Section 46-18-303, MCA, can be proved to the appropriate standard of proof, the district court shall appoint two counsel to represent the defendant. 3. In selecting appointed counsel, the district court shall secure sufficient information from counsel to be appointed, either in writing or on the record, to satisfy the district court that counsel possess the following minimum qualifications: a. Both appointed attorneys must be members in good standing of the State Bar of Montana or admitted to practice before the district court pro hac vice. b. Both counsel must have completed or taught, in the two-year period prior to appointment or within 90 days after the appointment, a continuing legal education course or courses, approved for credit by the appropriate authority under the rules adopted by the Montana Supreme Court, at least 12 hours of which deal with subjects related to the defense of persons accused or convicted of capital crimes. c. Counsel, either individually or in combination, must have had significant experience within the past 5 years in the trial of criminal cases to conclusion, including a capital case or a case involving charges of or equivalent to deliberate homicide under Montana law. d. The nature and volume of the work load of both appointed counsel is such that they will have the ability to spend the time necessary to defend a capital case. e. Counsel are familiar with and have a copy of the current American Bar Association standards for the defense of capital cases. By adoption of this provision, the Montana Supreme Court does not hold that adherence to the guidelines is required as a condition of providing effective assistance of counsel, or that failure to adhere to the guidelines gives rise to an inference of ineffective assistance of counsel. II. APPEAL PHASE 1 . If a defendant is sentenced to death and is determined by the district court to be indigent, the district court shall appoint two attorneys to represent the defendant on direct appeal. 2. In selecting appointed counsel for appeal, the district court shall secure sufficient information from counsel to be appointed,

either in writing or on the record, to satisfy the district court that counsel possess sufficient appellate experience to provide adequate representation to the defendant on appeal and the following minimum qualifications: a. Both appointed attorneys, must be members in good standing of the State Bar of Montana or admitted to practice before the district court pro hac vice. b. Both counsel must have completed or taught, in the two-year period prior to appointment or within 90 days after the appointment, a continuing legal education course or courses, approved for credit by the appropriate authority under the rules adopted by the Montana Supreme Court, at least 12 hours of which deal with subjects related to the defense of persons accused or convicted of capital crimes. c. Counsel, either individually or in combination, must have had significant experience within the past 5 years in the appeal of criminal cases, including a capital case or a case involving charges of or equivalent to deliberate homicide under Montana law. d. The nature and volume of the work load of both appointed counsel is such that they will have the ability to spend the time necessary to appeal a capital case. e. Counsel are familiar with and have a copy of the current American Bar Association standards for the defense of capital cases. By adoption of this provision, the Montana Supreme Court does not hold that adherence to the guidelines is required as a condition of providing effective assistance of counsel, or that failure to adhere to the guidelines gives rise to an inference of ineffective assistance of counsel. III. POSTCONVICTION PHASE The following standards shall apply to counsel appointed by the district court to represent indigent petitioners in postconviction proceedings under Title 46, Chapter 21, who are sentenced to death. 1. The district court shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 46-21-201, MCA, in appointing counsel in state postconviction cases. 2. The district court shall appoint two counsel. One of the appointed counsel may be an attorney who has been admitted pro hac vice. Lead counsel shall satisfy all of the following: a. He or she must be an active member in good standing of the Montana State Bar or be admitted pro hac vice. b. He or she must have at least 5 years criminal trial, criminal appellate, or state or federal postconviction experience, which experience may have been obtained in Montana or in another jurisdiction. c . He or she must have completed or taught, in the two-year period prior to appointment or within 90 days after the appointment, a continuing legal education course or courses, approved for credit by the appropriate authority under the rules adopted by the Montana Supreme Court, at least 12 hours of which deal with subjects related to the defense of persons accused or convicted of capital crimes. 3. In addition, the appointed counsel, either individually or in combination, shall have the following qualifications obtained in Montana or another jurisdiction: a. Experience as counsel for either the defendant or the state in the trial of one deliberate homicide case; b. Experience as counsel for either the defendant or the state in the trial of three felony cases; c . Experience as counsel for either the defendant or the state in the direct appeal of three felony convictions; and d. Experience as counsel for either the petitioner or the state in three cases involving claims for state postconviction or federal habeas corpus review. 4 . As used in this Order, “trial” means a case concluded with a judgment of acquittal under Section 46-l 8-102(2), MCA, or submission to the trial court or jury for decision and verdict. IV. EFFECT OF FAILURE TO ADHERE TO STANDARDS No error or omission in the procedure outlined in the trial or appellate standards shall constitute a ground for relief from a conviction or sentence unless the defendant shows that the standards were not followed in a material way and that counsel’s performance fell so far below the standard of reasonably effective counsel, and was sufficiently prejudicial to the defense of the defendant, as to constitute a denial of effective assistance of counsel as guaranteed by the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution or Article II, Section 24 of the Montana Constitution. See Strickland v. Washington (1984), 466 U.S. 668, 104 S.Ct. 2052, 80 L.Ed.2d 674. Pursuant to Section 46-21-201(3)(f), MCA, any failure to adhere to the standards for appointment of postconviction counsel may not serve as a basis for a claim for postconviction relief. V. REGISTRY OF COUNSEL AVAILABLE FOR APPOINTMENT 1. For the convenience of the district courts, the Clerk of the Supreme Court shall maintain a registry of counsel who are qualified under these standards, who are available for appointment in capital cases in one or more of the phases referred to, and who desire to have their names and pertinent data included in this registry. Qualified counsel wishing to be included in this registry shall submit to the Clerk in writing counsel’s name, address and phone number; along with a current resume, curriculum vitae and statement of qualifications; pertinent legal education courses, training, experience in other capital cases or cases involving charges of or equivalent to deliberate homicide under Montana law; the courts and jurisdictions in which counsel is admitted to practice and is in good standing; and the phase or phases for which counsel is qualified for appointment. Counsel are encouraged to update this data from time to time. For efficiency and convenience, the Clerk may prescribe the use of a form or forms for purposes of marshaling this data and maintaining this registry. 2 . On request of a district court, the Clerk shall make available to the district court so much of the data in the registry as the district court may require, provided that the Clerk may charge to the district court the reasonable costs of photocopying and mailing or faxing such data. 3. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require the Clerk to independently seek, solicit, gather, update or verify the accuracy or currency of names of and data pertaining to counsel to be included in, furnished for or maintained in this registry. It shall be the sole duty of the appointing district court to secure sufficient information from counsel to be appointed to satisfy the district court that counsel possesses the minimum qualifications required by these standards.

In order to provide for the more effective administration of the review of sentences imposed on convicted felons in the State of Montana, in accordance with Title 46, Chapter 18, of the Montana Code Annotated, 1985, the Sentence Review Division of the Supreme Court by this order hereby adopted the following rules, thereby superseding all previous such rules. Rule 1. After notice and within sixty (60) days after a defendant is sentenced to a term of one year or more in the State Prison, the defendant may apply to have his sentence reviewed by the Sentence Review Division of the Supreme Court of Montana. It is the duty of trial counsel to protect the defendant’s interest in this respect and the duty of the trial court to ensure that the defendant understands he has a right to review of the sentence imposed. If such review is requested, the sentence may be increased, decreased, affirmed as entered by the trial court, or otherwise altered by the Sentence Review Division. The filing of application for review of sentence does not stay execution of the sentence.

Rule 2.

The Clerks of the District Courts of the State of Montana shall serve upon persons sentenced to more than one (1) year in the State Prison a completed Montana Sentence Review Form No. 1, together with three (3) blank copies of Montana Sentence Review Form No. 2. The clerk shall further serve upon the defendant a copy of the court’s Sentence and Judgment. Service shall also be made when a deferred or suspended sentence is revoked and the defendant is sentenced to more than one (1) year in the State Prison.

Rule 3.

The defendant’s Application for Sentence Review (Montana Sentence Review Form No. 2) must be filed with the Clerk of the District Court for the county from which the defendant was sentenced. In the event the defendant has been sentenced and is serving time upon two sentences from separate counties, separate applications must be submitted to each Clerk of Court for the county from which the defendant was sentenced, if the defendant wants each sentence reviewed.

Rule 4.

The Clerk of the District Court will file the original copy of said application for Review of Sentence (Montana Sentence Review Form No. 2) in the court file of the defendant. The clerk will then complete Clerk’s Certificate and Statement (Montana Sentence Review Form No. 3) and forward it, together with the original court file and other documents required by Form No. 3 to: Sentence Review Division P.O. Box 203002 Helena, Montana 59620 Rule 5. The Clerk of the District Court shall forward said Clerk’s Certificate and Statement, together with all documents required, to the secretary of the Sentence Review Division within ten (10) working days after receipt of the Application for Review of Sentence. Rule 6. The Clerk of the District Court shall forward a copy of the Application for Review of Sentence (Montana Sentence Review Form No. 2) to the Judge who imposed the sentence, to the County Attorney for the County from which the defendant was sentenced and to the Defendant’s counsel of record.

Rule 7.

In the event the Application for Review of Sentence is filed more than sixty (60) days after the sentence is imposed, the Clerk shall proceed as if it were filed on time. However, the secretary of the Sentence Review Division shall thereafter promptly notify the defendant that the application is untimely and request the defendant file within thirty (30) days a statement of reasons why the Sentence Review Division should hear

the matter. The Sentence Review Division will rule upon such matters after said thirty (30) days has elapsed and may refuse to hear such application if the reasons for the late filing are insufficient. The Sentence Review Division will hear late applications which have been caused by the taking of an appeal to the Montana Supreme Court.

Rule 8.

When there is a pending appeal or request of post-conviction relief, the application for Sentence Review should not be filed until such time as the petition for post-conviction relief or the appeal has been determined, at which time the defendant shall be given sixty (60) days in which to file for review of the sentence.

Rule 9. The Secretary of the Sentence Review Division shall not accept an Application for Review of Sentence directly; all such applications must be filed in compliance with MCA 46-18-903, which requires they be filed with the Clerk of the District Court.

Rule 10. The Secretary of the Sentence Review Division shall keep a minute book in which shall be recorded the date and time the completed application for review was received by the Clerk of the District Court. The Sentence Review Division shall hear applications in the order they are received by the respective Clerk of Court unless circumstances make such order impractical or the Sentence Review Division orders otherwise. The Sentence Review Division records are public records and open to public inspection except for decisions which are pending and which have not been released or finally approved by the judges. Rule 11. After the Application for Review is filed as herein provided, the Secretary of the Sentence Review Division shall accept for filing briefs concerning the review of sentence, and any material considered by the sentencing judge at the time of the imposition of sentence. The Sentence Review Division will not consider any new material, letters, petition, or matters which were not presented to the sentencing judge. Any briefs or memoranda must be submitted at least two weeks before the scheduled hearing date in order to allow the judges of the Sentence Review Division an opportunity to review such material before hearing.

Rule 12. The Sentence Review Division shall meet at the Montana State Prison, Deer Lodge, Montana, at the Women’s Correctional Center in Billings, Montana, or at some other convenient place, at such times as shall be approved by the Division. The Secretary shall notify each member of the dates of such meetings.

Rule 13.

The Secretary of the Sentence Review Division shall send notices of the time and place of such hearing at least thirty (30) days prior to such hearing to each of the following: A. The judge who imposed the sentence; B. The County Attorney for the county from which the defendant was sentenced; C. The defendant; D. The defendant’s attorney of record in the District Court or such other attorney who has appeared in the case and made his or her appearance known to the Division; E. Any other person who has requested such notice.

Rule 14.

The Sentence Review Division’s hearings shall be public. However, admission to the hearings shall be subject to the rules of admission into the Montana State Prison at Deer Lodge and the Montana Women’s Prison at Billings generally. Proceedings shall be as informal as possible to allow full expression by all parties and their attorneys. The Rules of Evidence will serve as a guide but are not binding in the proceeding. The defendant shall have the right toappear and to be represented by counsel. For the purpose of this rule, the appearance of the defendant may be accomplished by a video conference so that all participants can see each other. The State may be represented by the County Attorney and/or the Attorney General, or their deputies.

If the sentencing judge did not set forth his reasons for sentence, or did not consider a pre-sentence report, or if there are critical matters which should have been presented at the sentencing hearing, the Sentence Review Division may vacate the sentence and remand it for re-sentencing based upon proper documentation.

The circumstances under which the crime was committed; D. The criminal history of the offender. The Sentence Review Division shall further review the sentences, with a view to removing dangerous and habitual offenders from society and providing corrective treatment for such long terms as needed. In other cases, the Sentence Review Division shall consider whether the offender could have been dealt with adequately by probation, suspended sentence or fine where such disposition appears practicable and not detrimental to the needs of public safety and the welfare of the individual. Rule 17. The sentence imposed by the District Court is presumed correct, and the sentence will not be reduced or increased unless it is deemed clearly inadequate or excessive.

Institutional adjustment; B. New social information; C. Institutional disciplinary actions pending or had against the defendant; D. Work report; or E. Inmate release plans.

have been served on the sentence as revised by the Sentence Review Division. B. The decision of the Sentence Review Division will be final. The decision and reason for such decision will be stated in a written opinion reported and published in the Montana Reports. C. Copies of the decisions of the Sentence Review Division shall be furnished to the following: 1. The Clerk of the District Court from which the defendant was originally sentenced; 2.

Rehearing may be ordered by the Sentence Review Division upon application in writing directed to the Sentence Review Division within thirty (30) days of notice of the Sentence Review Division’s decision on the original application.

Only one petition for rehearing shall be permitted by any applicant for Sentence Review, and the grounds therefore shall be clearly stated in said petition in accordance with rules governing rehearings in the Supreme Court of Montana.

Rule 23.

A record, by court reporter or by tape recording, shall be made of all proceedings before the Sentence Review Division, and preserved for five (5) years.

RULES FOR CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION RULES FOR CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION In the Supreme Court of the State of Montana

Principles 1. The primary purpose of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) in Montana is to improve the competence of attorneys. 2. The MCLE program should function in the interest of consumer protection, assisting Montana attorneys in remaining abreast of changes in the law in order to better serve the public. 3. Regulatory authority for MCLE rests with the Montana Supreme Court. In light of the authority of the Court provided in Article VII, Section 2 of the Montana Constitution permitting the Court to make rules governing admission to the bar and the conduct of its members, the Court oversees the continuing legal education system with the same thoughtful deliberation it devotes to deciding cases. 4. The MCLE program should be a means of inculcating principles of ethics and professional conduct, as well as providing knowledge and training in substantive areas of the law. 5. Based on the belief that interaction with fellow attorneys contributes to the learning process, a significant portion of the MCLE requirement should be satisfied by interactive seminars or by such methods that allow for interaction among the participants and the instructor by electronic means. 6. Because the profession’s obligation to the public is paramount, all active attorneys must comply with MCLE, subject to the need to accommodate special circumstances, as long as they remain in the practice. 7. The MCLE program should be administered for the Court by the State Bar in a cost effective manner, with the aim being neither to generate revenue nor produce financial losses for the Bar. 8. There should be an on-going evaluation of the effectiveness of MCLE, particularly in terms of whether it helps attorneys meet their obligations to the public.

Rule 1 - Purpose These rules establish standards for the continuing legal education required of all persons licensed to practice law in the State of Montana. It is of primary importance to the members of the State Bar of Montana and to the public that attorneys continue their legal education throughout their active practice of law.

Rule 2 - Definitions

A. “Active Member” means any person who is licensed to practice law in the State of Montana and who pays “Active Member” dues to the State Bar of Montana. B. “Approved Legal Education Activity” means an individual seminar, course, or other activity approved by the Commission. C. “Commission” means the Montana Commission of Continuing Legal Education. D. “Board of Trustees” means the Board of Trustees of the State Bar of Montana. E. “Legislator Member” means a member of the State Bar of Montana who is holding office as a duly elected or appointed member of the Montana House of Representatives or the Montana Senate. F. “Chairperson” means the chairperson of the Commission. G. “Credit Hour” means sixty (60) minutes of approved legal education activity. H. “Inactive Member” means any person who is licensed to practice law in the State of Montana and who pays “Inactive Member” dues to the State Bar of Montana. I. “MCLE Administrator” is the person designated by the Commission, with the approval of the Executive Director of the State Bar of Montana. J. “Rule” or “Rules” refers to the Rules for Continuing Legal Education. K. “Reporting Year” means April 1st through March 31st.

Rule 4 - Education Requirements, Exemptions, and Extensions

A. Active Member Minimum Continuing Legal Education Requirement: Each active member shall complete a minimum of fifteen (15) credit hours of approved continuing legal education activity each year. Of those fifteen (15) credit hours, at least ten (10) credit hours must be earned by attendance at interactive seminars as defined in Rule 7. No more than five (5) credit hours may be earned through “other methods” as defined in Rule 7. If a member accumulates more interactive credits than required in a year, the excess interactive credits may be carried forward and applied to either or both of the next two succeeding years. Credits earned by “other methods” may not be carried forward. A maximum of thirty (30) interactive credit hours may be carried forward. Every three years, each active member must complete a minimum of five (5) credit hours in ethics. Ethics means the accepted principles of professional conduct and responsibility as established by the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct. Ethics credits may be used to fulfill the 15 credit hours of required continuing legal education. Ethics credits may not be carried forward to subsequent 3-year reporting periods. Of the five (5) credit hours in ethics, one hour must be satisfied by a program on the relationship between a lawyer’s professional responsibilities and substance abuse, chemical dependency, or debilitating mental conditions. B. Emeritus Member Continuing Legal Education Requirement: Each emeritus member shall complete a minimum of ten (10) credit hours of approved continuing legal education activity each year. Each of those ten (10) credit hours must be certified by a qualified provider of legal services, as defined in Section 3(g)(vi) of the By-laws of the State Bar of Montana, as training prescribed for emeritus lawyers and related to the field of law for which such lawyers provide legal services to persons unable to pay for such services. In addition, of the ten (10) credit hours, at least five (5) credit hours must be earned by attendance at interactive seminars as defined in Rule 7. No more than five (5) credit hours may be earned through “other methods” as defined in Rule 7. If an emeritus member accumulates more interactive credits than required in a year, the excess interactive credits may be carried forward and applied to either or both of the next two succeeding years. Credits earned by “other methods” may not be carried forward. A maximum of twenty (20) interactive credit hours may be carried forward. Emeritus members are subject to the same requirements as active members for credit hours in ethics. All CLE filing fees shall be waived for emeritus members. C. Inactive Member Continuing Legal Education Exemption: An inactive member is exempt from the continuing legal education requirement of these rules. D. Legislator Member and Governor Continuing Legal Education Exemption: A legislator member or the Governor of the State of Montana is exempt from the continuing legal education requirement of these rules during his or her term of office as a member of the Montana House of Representatives, as a member of the Montana Senate, or as the Governor. E. Judiciary Member Continuing Legal Education Exemption: A fulltime judge or retired judge eligible for temporary judicial assignment and not engaged in the practice of law is exempt from the continuing education requirement of these rules. A full-time judge is an elected or appointed member of the Judiciary who devotes his or her full-time professional activity to his or her position as a judge. The Judiciary includes Montana Supreme Court justices, Montana district court judges, tribal judges, Montana water court judge, Montana workers’ compensation judge, Montana justices of the peace, Montana city judges, Montana municipal judges, and federal administrative law judges, U.S. circuit court judges, U.S. district court judges, U.S. Magistrates, and U.S. bankruptcy judges. F. Other Exemptions: Exemptions may be granted by the Commission as follows: 1. Exemptions due to special circumstances: Upon written and sworn application, accompanied by the annual filing fee required by Rule 3B2(e), the Commission may exempt an attorney from all or a portion of

the continuing legal education requirement for a period of not more than one (1) year upon a finding by the Commission of special circumstances, unique to that member, constituting undue hardship. Such circumstances include: a. Severe or prolonged illness or disability of the member that prevents the member from participating in approved continuing legal education activities. If the member is disabled or hospitalized, a sworn statement from another person who is familiar with the facts may be accepted; b. Extended absence from the United States; or c. Other extenuating circumstances. 2. An exemption may not be granted in successive years for the same or similar hardship. 3. Exemption during year of admission: An active member is exempt from the continuing legal education requirement of these rules during the balance of the reporting year during which he or she is admitted. G. Waiver: If an active member requests to become an inactive member after the Commission has notified the Court of noncompliance, the Commission may waive the continuing legal education requirement for the previous year. H. Extensions: The Commission may grant an extension of time for the reporting requirement of Rule 5, upon a finding by the Commission of special circumstances unique to that member constituting undue hardship. I. Burden of Proof: The burden is on the member to submit and satisfy the requirements of these rules.

Rule 5 - Reporting Requirements

A. Report. On or before May 15 of each year, each active member who has not been granted an exemption under Rule 4, shall file an affidavit with the Commission reporting continuing legal education activity in the preceding reporting year. The report may include any carryover credits specified in Rule 4A, together with any proof the Commission may require. The Commission shall mail the prescribed affidavit form to each active member on or before April 15 of each year. B. Fee. The Commission shall require payment of a fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars ($25.00), which each reporting attorney must pay to defray the cost of maintaining records and enforcing the Rules. The prescribed fee shall accompany the Supreme Court License Tax and the State Bar of Montana Membership Dues submitted by each attorney. Failure to pay the prescribed fee constitutes noncompliance under Rule 12. C. Noncompliance Fees.

Credit shall be earned on the basis of one (1) credit hour for each sixty (60) minutes actually spent by a member in attendance at an approved activity or in preparation for and teaching of an approved activity. Credit will not be earned for time spent in introductory remarks, coffee and luncheon breaks, or business meetings.

activity of the program; and 5. It should include thorough, high-quality, and carefully prepared written materials to be distributed to all attendees at or before the time the course is presented. While it is recognized that written materials are not suitable or readily available for some types of subjects, the absence of written materials for distribution should be the exception and not the rule. 6. It shall not be offered on a basis that discriminates against attendees on account of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, culture, social origin or condition, or politicial or religious ideas. C. The burden is on the member to submit and satisfy the requirements of these rules.

Rule 7 - Types of Programs Qualify for Credit

An interactive seminar is an activity where the instructor and at least four other participants are available to interact with each other for the purpose of further discussion or answering questions. 2. Other methods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a maximum of five (5) credit hours per year may be earned by participation in any one or a combination of the following other methods: a. Using audio- or video-produced material; b. Participating in online seminars that do not involve interaction with instructors and other participants; c.

Attending in-house courses offered by law firms, corporate legal departments, or similar entities primarily for the education of their employees or members. The standards set forth in Rule 6B are applicable to the approval of individual in-house courses. In addition, the following additional standards must be met: i. An application for approval must be filed with the Commission before the date on which the course is to be held. The Applicant will be expected to furnish curriculum materials and a schedule and to provide assurances that client-related matters and case studies are not part of the credit hours being sought; ii. The course must be attended by five (5) or more lawyers, including the instructor; iii. The course must be scheduled at a time and location so as to be free of interruption from telephone calls and other office matters; iv. The applicant must agree to permit any member of the Commission, or a designee of the Commission, including the MCLE Administrator, to be in attendance at the activity if deemed necessary by the Commission; g. Satisfactorily completing an approved self-study program; or h. Utilizing any other method if the applicant can demonstrate the activity has significant legal content and the primary objective of the activity is uniquely connected to the practice of law. 3. The burden is on the member to submit and satisfy the requirements of these rules. B. The following will not be considered for credit: 1. Bar Review Courses. Credit shall not be earned for any bar review course offered in any state or for any other course attended before admission to practice law in any state. 2. Teaching at Educational Institutions. Teaching in scheduled activities of any educational institution by an attorney who has an employment relationship with the institution, either as an employee or as a contractor, or by an attorney who is a guest speaker on a regular basis is not an approved continuing legal education activity under this rule.

Rule 8 - Presumptive Accreditation The Commission may recognize and presumptively accredit courses that have been accredited by and held in other states. The Commission will grant the same number of credits to each course that was granted in the state in which the course was presented. The Commission retains the right to reject accreditation of any course that it believes does not meet the standards set out in rule 6(B) or for which documentation of accreditation is not provided.

Rule 9 - Accreditation

A. A sponsor (other than an Accredited Sponsor) or an individual member may seek advance approval on a form provided by the Commission, accompanied with a filing fee in an amount to be determined by the Commission each year. The same procedure may be followed after presentation of the activity, except that, unless waived by the Commission, requests for approval of activities must be submitted before March 31 of the reporting year in which the activity was presented. Courses submitted after the March 31 deadline will incur a late filing fee not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00). The Commission, with the MCLE Administrator, shall advise the applicant in writing whether the activity is approved and, if approved, the number of credit hours allowed. B. Except as provided above, no credit will be recognized without application and approval. Any delay which takes place in making a determination on a request for approval does not relieve the member from compliance with the Rules.

Rule 10 - Accredited Sponsors

A. An Accredited Sponsor is an organization designated as such by the Commission. Continuing legal education activities presented by an Accredited Sponsor are approved legal education activities. B. An application for approval as an Accredited Sponsor shall be submitted annually on a form provided by the Commission and accompanied by a filing fee in an amount to be determined by the Commission each year. Applications shall be evaluated under criteria defined in Rules 6 and 7. A sponsor shall not be accredited unless it has offered five or more separate continuing legal education activities during the preceding year. C. Upon approval as an Accredited Sponsor, the organization is exempt from the requirement of applying for approval of individual programs. Documentation for individual programs must be submitted prior to December 31 of the calendar year in which the activity was presented. Documentation submitted after the December 31 deadline will not be considered unless accompanied by a late filing fee not to exceed fifty dollars ($50.00). The Commission will determine the number of credit hours for each continuing legal education activity. D. The Commission may at any time re-evaluate and revoke the status of an Accredited Sponsor if a program fails to meet either the accreditation standards set forth in Rule 6B or the methods of presentation set forth in Rule 7. E. A list of organizations or groups which are approved as Accredited Sponsors of continuing legal education activities will be maintained by the MCLE Administrator in the office of the State Bar of Montana. A current list of Accredited Sponsors will be published in the Montana Lawyer.

Rule 11 - Appeals

An attorney or sponsoring agency disagreeing with a determination of the Commission, the Accreditation Committee, or the MCLE Administrator, other than the noncompliance provisions of Rule 12, shall submit his or her statement, together with supporting data, to the Commission. The Commission shall consider the matter at its next regular meeting. The Commission shall send written notice to the sponsoring agency or attorney advising of the date, time, and location of the meeting and advise that he or she has the right to appear at the meeting and present any evidence on his or her behalf. Consideration of the matter is not an adversarial or contested proceeding, and formal rules of evidence shall not apply. The Commission shall determine the matter by majority vote of those present and its decision shall be final.

Rule 12 - Noncompliance

A. Notice of Noncompliance. The Commission shall, by June 1 of each year, send a written notice of noncompliance to each attorney who had not filed an acceptable affidavit for the previous year as required by Rule 5. The notice of noncompliance shall describe the nature of the noncompliance and shall state that, unless the attorney files an acceptable affidavit with the Commission by July 1 of that year showing that the noncompliance has been corrected and pays the appropriate fees, the Commission will direct the State Bar of Montana to transfer the attorney to inactive status until the noncompliance is corrected and the fees required by Rule 5 are paid. B. Notice of Transfer. No later than ten (1) business days after July 1, the Commission shall furnish the names of the attorneys and the effective date of their transfers to inactive status to the named attorneys, to the

Rule 13 - CLE Requirement upon Reinstatement to Active Status after Suspension

This rule applies to an attorney transferred to inactive status in accordance with Rule 12 or suspended from the practice of law who applies for reinstatement to active status. The attorney may be reinstated by the Court upon the payment of all fees required by the Commission and certification by the Commission that the attorney has completed the minimum continuing legal education requirements. The attorney shall have completed fifteen (15) hours of approved continuing legal education for each 12-month period the attorney was on inactive status or suspended from the practice of law. The total continuing legal education requirement under all of the foregoing shall not exceed thirty (30) hours. The Commission may consider hours of approved continuing legal education that the attorney has completed within twenty-four months prior to the application for reinstatement. Rule 14 - CLE Requirement upon Change from

Voluntary Inactive Status or Resigned Status to Active Status This rule applies to an attorney who voluntarily switched from active to inactive status or who resigned membership in the State Bar and who applies for reinstatement to active status. Within 6 months of re-admission to active status by the Court, the attorney shall complete 15 hours of approved continuing legal education for each 12-month period of inactive or resigned status, not to exceed a total of 30 hours. The Commission may consider hours of approved continuing legal education which the member has completed within 24 months prior to the application for reinstatement to active status. Attorneys who believe their occupations during inactive or resigned status are sufficient to warrant readmission to active status without being required to make up continuing legal education credits may submit petitions to the Court for such re-admission setting forth the grounds for re-admission. If an active member requests to become an inactive member, the continuing legal education requirement may be waived for the preceding year.

Rule 15 - Confidentiality Unless otherwise directed by the Supreme Court or these Rules, the files, records and proceedings of the Commission, as they relate to or arise out of any failure of any attorney to satisfy the requirements of these Rules, shall be deemed confidential and shall not be disclosed, except in furtherance of the duties of the Commission, upon the request of the Commission on Practice, or the attorney affected, or as introduced into evidence or otherwise produced in proceedings under these Rules. After the Commission directs the State Bar of Montana to transfer an attorney to inactive status , the matter becomes one of public record and is no longer confidential.

(c) The Commission may impose, or recommend to the Supreme Court, the following: (1) Admonition: A private communication from the commission to a judge reminding the judge of ethical responsibilities and giving a warning to avoid future misconduct or inappropriate practices. An admonition may be used to give authoritative advice and encouragement or to express disapproval of behavior that suggests the appearance of impropriety even though it meets minimum standards of judicial conduct. (2) Private Reprimand: A private communication from the commission to a judge that declares the judge’s conduct unacceptable under one of the grounds for judicial discipline but not so serious as to merit a public sanction. (3) Public Reprimand: A public reprimand administered by the Supreme Court, upon report and recommendation of the commission, which declares a judge’s conduct unacceptable under one of the grounds for judicial discipline but not so serious as to warrant a censure.

(4) Censure: A public declaration by the Supreme Court that a judge is guilty of misconduct that does not require suspension or removal from office. Censure may be ordered in conjunction with other sanctions. (5) Suspension: A decision by the Supreme Court to suspend a judge from office temporarily, with or without pay, for serious misconduct that merits more than censure but less than removal. This sanction is flexible, and there are no restrictions on the length of a suspension. (6) Removal: A decision by the Supreme court to remove a judge from office for serious misconduct. (7) Permanent Removal: A decision by the Supreme court to remove a judge permanently from office for serious misconduct and declare that such person may never again hold a judicial office in the State of Montana. (8) Retirement: A decision by the Supreme Court to retire a judge for a disability that seriously interferes with the performance of judicial duties that is or is likely to become permanent. (d) The Commission may admonish or privately reprimand a judge with or without a formal complaint being filed. All other sanctions must be administered, or retirement ordered, by the Supreme Court after completion of a proceeding on a formal complaint, and recommendation to the Supreme Court.

Rule 10 - Complaints - Initial investigations (a) All complaints to the commission shall be in writing, verified, and made on the form attached hereto as “Form A”. Complaints shall be lodged with the Executive Secretary. (b) A complaint shall not be a prerequisite to action by the Commission. The Commission may act on its own motion in those cases where the Commission considers it appropriate. (c) Upon receiving a complaint or otherwise receiving information indicating that a judge is guilty of some action set forth in Rule 9(b), or that the commission should take some action as described in Rule 9(c), the Commission may make an initial inquiry of the judge for such written comments with respect to the matters involved as the judge may wish to make, or may request a response from the judge. With or without making such initial inquiry, and with or without notice or other information being given to the judge, as the Commission may consider appropriate, the Commission may conduct an investigation of the conduct or condition of the judge for the purpose of determining whether formal proceedings should be instituted and a hearing held. However, prior to any determination that a formal hearing will be held, the judge shall be sent a copy of the complaint, or a synopsis of the matters to be or which have been investigated, and the judge shall thereafter be given reasonable opportunity to make such statement to the Commission as the judge considers desirable. Such statement may be made, as the judge may elect, personally or by counsel, verbally or in writing, and may or may not be under oath. In exercising this right, the judge shall not have the right to call witnesses nor to confront nor cross-examine the person making the complaint or any person interviewed by the Commission or its duly authorized representative. If, after being notified by the Commission, the judge does not respond within a reasonable time or within the time fixed by the Commission, the right to make such statement shall thereupon terminate. (d) In making an investigation, the Commission may issue subpoenas for witnesses to appear before the Commission or its representative for the purpose of making a sworn statement and may likewise issue subpoenas for the production of books, papers and other evidentiary matter which are pertinent to the inquiry. (e) Whenever the Commission reaches the conclusion that facts developed upon an initial investigation fail to show any reason for the institution of disciplinary proceedings, the Commission shall dismiss the complaint, terminate the inquiry, and so advise the complainant. At the same time the complainant shall be informed of the confidentiality provisions of Rule 7. The Commission shall also so notify the judge. (f) Complaints may be summarily rejected and dismissed by the Commission because they fail to state any possible grounds for disciplinary proceedings. The Commission may, but is not required to, advise the judge thereof. (g) After receipt of a complaint or of information indicating that a judge may have been guilty of conduct which might warrant discipline, or that a judge may be disabled, the Commission, before voting to hold a formal hearing, may delegate to one or more of its members the authority and responsibility to personally and confidentially confer with the judge subject to the inquiry, and to make informal recommendations to the judge concerning the subject matter of the inquiry and a satisfactory disposition thereof. If the judge agrees to the Commission’s suggested disposition, the matter may be disposed of on the basis of the agree-

Rule 11 - Formal Complaint

(a) If, after an initial investigation, a majority of the Commission find that there exist grounds to conduct formal proceedings concerning a complaint or other facts brought to the attention of the Commission, the Commission shall appoint an attorney, as provided in Rule 4(c), to file a formal complaint against said judge in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and to prosecute said formal complaint before the Commission. (b) Upon the filing of a formal complaint, said complaint and all proceedings subsequent to its filing are not confidential and become a matter of public record.

Rule 12 - Procedure on Formal Complaint (a) The formal complaint shall be styled as in “Form B” (contact the Montana Supreme Court for “Form B”) and shall state the names of complainants, the nature of the alleged grounds for discipline, the time of actions giving rise to alleged wrongdoing and a brief summary of the facts upon which allegations of wrongdoing are based. (b) A notice of the filing of the formal complaint together with a copy of said complaint shall be served on the judge. Such notice shall advise the judge of the name, address and telephone number of the prosecuting attorney and of the right to file a written response with the Clerk of the Supreme Court within fifteen, (15), days after the complaint has been served upon the judge. (c) (i) Service of the notice and copy of the formal complaint shall be made on the judge who is the subject thereof by personal service as provided in Rule 4(D)(2),(3), M.R.Civ.P. Service of the notice and copy of the complaint may be acknowledged by the judge or the judge’s attorney. (ii) Service and filing of orders, pleadings and other papers shall be made as provided in Rule 5, M.R.Civ.P., except that filing in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court shall be deemed filing with the commission. (d) The judge may file a response to the allegations of the formal complaint, within fifteen days after service. Thereafter, the commission may set a hearing on the complaint. Said hearing shall be set no sooner than thirty, (30), days after the time for filing a response has expired or after a response is filed. The hearing shall be set as promptly as possible considering the particular circumstances. (e) The chairperson shall appoint a member of the commission, which may be the chairperson, to hear and determine preliminary matters prior to hearing, set dates, make necessary rulings, make discovery orders, order subpoenas issued, and make such orders as are necessary to assure the hearing is conducted promptly and that both the complainant and the responding judge have opportunity to fully and fairly prepare for the hearing. The orders of said member shall have the same force as an order of the commission unless quashed by a majority of the members thereof. (f) (i) The responding judge shall, upon request, be provided access to the information upon which the formal complaint is based, including the initial complaint, statements of the complainant, witnesses, and other physical and documentary evidence. (ii) The responding judge shall, upon request, be provided with the names and last known address of witnesses that shall be called to testify at the hearing together with copies of all evidence the prosecuting attorney intends to introduce at the hearing. Likewise, the judge shall, upon request, provide the prosecuting attorney with the names and addresses of all witnesses the judge intends to call to testify at the hearing, and copies of all evidence intended to be introduced at the hearing. (iii) Except as specifically stated in these rules, discovery procedures contained in the Montana rules of civil procedure and Montana code of criminal procedure do not apply to proceedings before the commission. (iv) Depositions may be taken only after an order granted by the commission upon application and showing of need therefore. Other discovery methods such as interrogatories, requests for admissions or requests for production may be undertaken only by order

of the commission after application and a showing of need therefor. (g) Upon written request, the commission may direct the Clerk of the Supreme Court to issue subpoenas and they may be served as provided in Rule 45, M.R.Civ.P., except the clerk shall not be required to issue any subpoena except upon direct order of the commission. Payment of witness fees and mileage shall be the same as provided for witnesses in a district court proceeding.

Rule 13 - Hearing on Formal Complaint

(a) At the appointed time and place the prosecuting attorney shall present the case in support of the charges in the formal complaint. Failure of the judge to respond or to appear at the hearing shall not, standing alone, be taken as evidence of the truth of the facts alleged. (b) A verbatim record, by stenographic or other means, shall be made of the hearing. The commission may or may not order that a transcript of the proceedings be made. When a transcript of the hearing has been prepared at the expense of the Commission, a copy thereof shall, upon request, be available for use by the judge and counsel. The judge or other person may arrange to have the proceedings transcribed and to secure a copy of said transcript at the judge’s expense. The judge shall have the right, without any order or approval, to have all or any testimony in the proceedings transcribed at the judge’s expense. (c) The chairperson or designee shall preside at the hearing. The hearing shall be conducted according to the Montana Rules of Evidence. (d) The responding judge may, but shall not be required to, appear at or testify at the hearing. (e) The complainant shall open and close the evidence. The complainant, acting through the prosecuting attorney, shall have the burden of proof that the charges are true by clear and convincing evidence as defined by § 27-1-221(5), MCA. The responding judge shall have the right to, but shall not be required to, present evidence in defense of the complaint. (f) At the conclusion of the hearing the commission may order further written arguments or submissions as it deems appropriate. Thereafter, the matter shall be deemed submitted for decision. (g) Deliberations of the commission shall be conducted in private. The commission shall render its decision, and any recommendation to the supreme court in writing. The commissions decision shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court and the charges dismissed or a recommendation transmitted to the court, whichever is necessary. (h) Should less than a majority of the commission vote affirmatively for the censure, suspension, retirement, or removal, a formal complaint shall be dismissed in favor of the judge, who shall be entitled to fees paid or incurred for subpoenas, witness fees and mileage, and any depositions ordered by the commission. Said judge shall also be reimbursed for reasonable attorneys fees required in defense of such formal complaint. Such costs shall be paid to the judge from funds provided to the commission by the legislature. Should the commission find charges in a formal complaint to be true, and a recommendation for discipline as provided in Rule 9(c) be accepted and imposed by the supreme court, the responding judge may be assessed and required to pay all costs of the proceedings before the commission, including reasonable attorneys fees of the prosecuting attorney.

Rule 14 - Interim Disqualification Officers

Judicial

Upon the Commission’s filing with the Supreme Court a recommendation that a judicial officer be removed or retired, the judge shall forthwith be disqualified to serve as such, without loss of salary, pending the Supreme Court’s review of the record and proceedings, and its order thereon. § 3-1-1109(2), MCA.

Rule 15 - Judge Incompetent If a judge against who a complaint has been filed has been adjudged incompetent by a court of competent jurisdiction, or if it appears to the commission at any time that a judge is not competent, for the purposes of disposition of a complaint before the commission, and no guardian has been appointed, the commission shall appoint a guardian ad litem, to act for such judge. The guardian or guardian ad litem may claim and exercise any right or privilege and make any defense for the judge with the same force and effect as if claimed, exercised, or made by the judge, if competent. Whenever these rules provide for serving or giving notice or sending any matter to the judge, such notice or matter shall be served, given, or sent to the guardian or guardian ad litem.

ment reached. If such agreed disposition is made on the basis that it be made public, the Commission shall file a report of such disposition in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court and it shall become a matter of public record. (h) The Commission may at any time entertain and act upon a proposal from a judge for disposition of any matter pending before the Commission concerning such judge, provided that if such proposal is made after filing of a formal complaint, and is found acceptable to the Commission, a report thereof shall be filed in the office of the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and such report shall not be considered confidential.

(b) The pretrial order shall identify all those portions of depositions, interrogatories, requests for admissions and answers and responses thereto that the parties intend to introduce into evidence. COMMENT: Although not specifically prohibited by this rule, in line with not filing discovery it is also not necessary to file a notice of taking of deposition, notice of serving discovery, notice of serving responses to discovery, or any other discovery-related notice. Rule 5 - Pre-Trial Order and Pre-Trial Conference (a) PRE-TRIAL. Unless otherwise ordered by the court, a pre-trial conference shall be held in all contested civil cases. (b) Not later than five days prior to the pre-trial conference, Plaintiff's counsel shall convene a conference of all counsel for the purpose of preparing a pre-trial order. The proposed pre-trial order shall be presented for signature at the pre-trial conference. In the event of a dispute as to the contents of the order, such dispute shall be presented to the Judge for resolution at the pre-trial conference. (c) PRE-TRIAL ORDER. The pre-trial order shall be substantially in the following form: (See next page.)

Rule 6 - Briefs All briefs presented to the court at any time will be filed with the court and must forthwith be served on all opposing counsel. COMMENT: After long debate, it is the opinion of the Commission that all briefs must be served upon opposing counsel. "The day is gone when the prototype old fashioned attorney produced the hidden witness at trial or the uncited but decisive case and left the opposing attorney lying bloody on the courtroom floor. Justice is achieved, under the spirit of our modern rules, by full and open disclosure of law and fact." Hill v. Squibb & Sons, E.R., 592 P.2d 1383, 1391,(Mont. 1979). Indeed, Rule 19 of the Thirteenth Judicial District, upheld in Hill, has now been modified to require service of all briefs on opposing counsel.

Rule 7 - Jury Instructions and Verdict Forms (a) Submission. All proposed jury instructions and verdict forms must be delivered to the court in duplicate and a copy served upon all opposing parties at the time fixed in the pre-trial order. Thereafter additional instructions may be allowed to prevent manifest injustice. (b) Citation of authorities. Each proposed instruction shall contain at the bottom the source thereof and a citation of authorities, if any, supporting the statement of law therein.

(c) Form. Each instruction shall be on 8 1/2" x 11" paper and shall, after the citation of authorities, indicate the party on whose behalf it is requested and be numbered consecutively. One copy of the instructions filed with the court shall not be firmly bound together. (d) Request for special findings by jury. Whenever a party desires special findings by a jury he shall file with the court and serve a copy upon all opposing parties, in writing, the issues or questions of fact upon which such findings are requested, in proper form for submission to the jury. Rule 8 - Findings and Conclusions In all matters where the court must enter findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Rule 52, Mont.R.Civ.P., all parties shall file with the court, and serve upon opposing counsel, at least five days prior to the scheduled trial or hearing, proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. Failure to file proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in a timely manner shall be cause for appropriate sanction including removal of the case from the trial calendar, dismissal or granting of a judgment, precluding the offending party from presentation of evidence or objecting to evidence submitted by the other party, or such other action as the court deems appropriate. Post-trial amended and supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law may be submitted in appropriate circumstances and only upon order of the court.

Rule 9 - Juror Questionnaire All jurors are requested to complete a questionnaire, the form of which is on file with the Clerk in his General Order File and which contains basic vital statistics and other pertinent information. The completed forms will only be available to the parties, the attorneys for the parties, judges and court employees. Others requesting the completed forms must file a Request for Privacy Information with the Court. The jury questionnaire will be destroyed by the clerk's office within a reasonable length of time after the conclusion of the jury term. The questionnaire shall be in the form shown in Form "B".

Rule 10 - Death or Removal of Attorney (a) Whenever an attorney representing a party to an action, or in another civil proceeding of any kind, is removed, withdraws or ceases to act as such, said attorney must inform the court and all other parties of the full name and address of his client and any other information which the court may find appropriate to assist in contacting said party. (b) When the attorney representing a party to an action or proceeding dies, is removed, withdraws, or ceases to act as such, that party, before any further proceedings are had against him must be given notice by any adverse party: (1) That such party must appoint another attorney or appear in person, and (2) The date of the trial or of the next hearing or action required in the case, and (3) That if he fails to appoint an attorney or appear in person by a date certain, which may not be less than twenty days from the date of the notice, the action or other proceeding will proceed and may result in a judgment or other order being entered against him, by default or otherwise. (c) Such notice may be by personal service or by certified mail to said party's last known address. (d) If said party does not appoint another attorney or appear in person within twenty days of the service or mailing of said notice, the action may proceed to judgment. However, copies of all papers and documents required to be served by these rules and the Rules of Civil Procedure shall be mailed to said party at his last known address. (e) In addition to the foregoing requirements of Rule 10 and before any change or substitution of attorney is effective, whether such change or substitution is occasioned by the death of the attorney or by his removal, withdrawal, ceasing to act, suspension or disbarment, the requirements of sections 37-61-403, 37-61-404 and 37-61-405, MCA, shall have been fully satisfied.

Rule 11 - Judgments and Decrees Whenever a judgment or decree is signed by the presiding judge it shall be delivered to the Clerk and immediately filed in the records of the court and the fee required by law shall be forthwith paid to the Clerk. Failure of counsel to observe this Rule shall be deemed a contempt of court.

In order to help secure the just, speedy and inexpensive determination of every action, such local counsel must be furnished with all factual, evidentiary and legal information necessary to act on behalf of the party and must also be vested with full and complete authority to act on behalf of and bind the party in all matters connected with the litigation. A failure of local counsel to take any action required by the Rules of Civil Procedure or these Rules by lack of authority shall, for the purpose of imposing sanctions, be treated as a refusal to act.

Requests for Oral Argument. When counsel desire oral argument on a motion, other than a motion in which oral arguments shall be deemed mandato¬ry unless waived by all parties, counsel shall state with their Notice of Issue or in a separate request for oral argument their reasons in support of oral argument and why the written briefs are inadequate to fully and satisfac¬torily articulate their position. Oral argument will be set only by Court order, whether upon motion of a party or upon a sua sponte determination that oral argument would be beneficial. If a motion for oral argument is not ruled upon within 30 days of its submission, the motion shall be deemed denied. C. Scheduling Oral Argument. When oral argument is granted, the moving party must prepare a Request for Hearing for the Court's Law and Motion day. The requested hearing shall not be longer than one hour without express permission of the Court.

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages. The scheduling order form shall provide dates to be filled in by attorneys of record for the following: (1) joinder of parties and amendments to pleadings; (2) date by which all pretrial motions will be filed and heard; (3) identification of expert witnesses; (4) close of discovery; (5) date by which the lawyers resolution conference will be held; (6) filing of a proposed Pretrial Order; (7) date for a master-supervised settlement conference pursuant to Rule 9 of the Local Rules; or (8) such additional matters as the Court or parties deem necessary. The lawyers resolution conference referred to in (5) above shall be held in person between counsel for all parties at a place mutually agreeable to the parties. If the parties cannot agree, the Court will direct the place and manner of the conference. Within ten days after the conference, counsel for plaintiff shall submit to the Court a certification that the lawyers resolu¬tion conference was held and shall advise whether or not the case was settled. The dates in the scheduling order shall not be changed absent Court order upon a showing of good cause. MOTIONS FOR CONTINUANCE FOR DATES 90 DAYS BEYOND THE ORIGINAL SCHEDULING DATE IN ANY SCHEDULING ORDER SHALL BE SUBMITTED IN WRITING, SUPPORTED BY AFFIDAVIT, AND SHALL BEAR THE SIGNATURES OF ALL THE PARTIES. The Order (Exhibit "A") directing filing of a Scheduling Order (Exhibit "B") shall advise the parties that failure to submit an agreedupon scheduling order shall result in the Court issuing a scheduling order sua sponte which will be substantially as set forth in Exhibit "C". Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, the time set for filing the pretrial order shall be after pretrial motions have been filed but before the master-supervised settlement conference is held pursuant to Rule 9 of these rules. This will allow pretrial motions to be ruled upon prior to the holding of the master-supervised settlement conference. B. Exemptions. Pursuant to Rule 16(b), M.R.Civ.P., the following matters are exempt from the discovery procedure required by this Rule unless such a case becomes a contested case: (1) juvenile cases; (2) URESA actions; (3) dependent and neglect cases; (4) abstracts and transcript of judgment; (5) adoptions; (6) sanity; (7) probates; (8) criminal cases (included to eliminate the possibility of confusion); (9) small claims appeals; (10) administrative appeals (11) seizures and forfeitures; (12) habeas corpus; (13) name changes; and (14) conservatorships and guardianships. Discovery in the above matters shall proceed according to orders issued in each case.

Rule 9 - Settlement Conferences

A. Settlement Conferences Required. In each civil case, there will be two settlement conferences, the holding of which will be required before a case may be set for trial. The first is a lawyers resolution conference and the second is a master-supervised settlement conference, both of which are provided for in the Scheduling Order prepared and issued in accordance with Rule 8 of the Local Rules. (Exhibit "B" and Exhibit "C".) B. Settlement Conference Coordinator. The District Judges have designated a coordinator for master-supervised settlement conferences. The coordinator is responsible for developing and main¬taining a list of Court-approved settlement masters and shall be the contact person and coordinator for assignment of settlement masters and scheduling of master-supervised settlement conferences. C. Master-Supervised Settlement Conference. The mastersupervised settlement conference may be held at any time upon stipulation of the parties or order of the Court. Unless otherwise agreed, the conference shall be held after submission of the pretrial order. The Court shall issue a separate order governing the scheduling of the master-supervised settlement conference, the choosing of the settlement master and payment therefore. (Exhibit "D") Fees are waived when the Court has approved an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Filing Fees.

Counsel who will try the case and all parties must attend in person. Out-of-area corporations or insurance companies must have a representative present in person or via speaker phone, unless personal attendance is ordered by the Court upon a showing of good cause. All participants must have requisite settlement authority. The parties shall agree upon responsibility for payment of the fees charged by the settlement master. D. Pro-Bono Settlement Masters/Mediators for Indigent Parties. The Western Montana Bar Association (WMBA) Pro Bono Committee has established two ways to provide free legal services to indigent parties. One is to provide a pro bono attorney for a settlement conference and one is to provide a lawyer to represent a party in a case. In order for a party to qualify for these services, an Affidavit of Inability to Pay Filing Fees and Other Costs and Order must be filed in the cause of action. If the Court determines the case requires the assistance only an attorney can provide, the Court will contact the WMBA and request a pro bono settlement master or attorney. A request from a party or the Court does not guarantee an attorney will be available, but the Court understands that a reasonable effort will be made by the WMBA Pro Bono Program to place eligible clients. The Fourth Judicial District also provides pro bono credit at the Missoula County Self-Help Law Center for attorneys providing legal information. Some departments recognize pro bono credits for guardian ad litem services. E. Report of the Settlement Master. Cases Settled: Upon completion of the master-supervised settlement conference, the settlement master shall immediately contact the Judge’s secretary to advise that the case has settled so that any action on court hearings or pending motions can be halted. The settlement master shall submit, on a form provided by the Court (Exhibit "E"), a report of the conference and its settlement results. The report shall be filed with copies to the Judge, all counsel of record and any parties not represented by counsel. Cases Not Settled: Within five days of the completion of the master-supervised settlement conference, the settlement master shall submit, on a form provided by the Court a report of the conference and its result. The report shall be filed with copies to the Judge, all counsel of record and any parties not represented by counsel. In the event that the case is not settled, the form shall also state the follow¬ing informa¬tion obtained from counsel for the parties: (1) the length of time anticipated to be necessary for trial; (2) dates counsel or key witnesses are legitimately unavailable for trial; (3) any special requests or needs regarding trial. (4) costs of settlement master shall be included in the final judgment, however, the settlement master should be paid 50% by each party at the time of the settlement conference. Costs of settlement master shall be included in the final judgment; however, the settlement master should be paid 50% by each party at the time of the settlement conference. Cases will be set for trial upon submission of the settlement master's report. No case will be set for trial without a mastersuper¬vised settlement conference unless specifically provided by Court order upon motion and showing of good cause. F. Proceedings Confidential. No person present at a settlement conference, including the settle¬ment master, shall be subject to examination concerning statements made by any person at the settlement conference. The parties will not subpoena or otherwise require the settlement master to testify regarding the settlement conference or the settlement master's opinions regarding the case.

Rule 10 - Trials and Trial Settings A. Trial Dates. Trial dates shall be set by the scheduling clerk designated by each department upon submission of the report of the settlement master. All trials shall be assigned a date certain but may share that date with up to three other cases, each being assigned a first, second, third or fourth setting on the date certain. When submitting the pretrial order, counsel shall state in a cover letter any special requests regarding the trial setting, including dates that the parties or key witnesses are legitimately unavailable for trial, and the estimated length of trial. In addition, the report of the settlement master will state the estimated length of trial and dates key witnesses and parties are legiti¬mately unavailable for trial. B. Settlement Conference Mandatory. No case may be tried unless it has been through a lawyers resolution conference and

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages. J. Six Person Juries. Pursuant to §3-15-106, M.C.A., in all civil actions where the relief sought in the Complaint is under the sum of $10,000.¬00, the trial jury shall consist of six persons. The parties may stipulate to six-person juries in other civil cases. K. Voir Dire Examination. Voir dire examination in civil cases shall be limited to one hour on each side unless additional time is requested before trial. Only one attorney for each party shall be allowed to question the prospective jurors on voir dire. The only proper purpose of voir dire of jurors is to select a panel who will fairly and impartially hear the evidence presented and render a just verdict and to determine the grounds for any challenge for cause therefore: Counsel will not: (1) Ask any questions of an individual juror that are susceptible of being asked collectively. (2) Ask questions covered by and answered in juror questionnaire, except to explore some questionnaire answer in greater depth. (3) Repeat questions asked and answered, even though asked by opposing counsel. (4) Use voir dire for the purpose of attempting to instruct the jury on the law. That is the Court's function. (5) Use voir dire for the purpose of arguing the case. (6) Ask a juror what his or her verdict might be under any hypothetical situation based on any expected evidence or otherwise. Upon failure of counsel to abide by this rule, the Court may assume voir dire of the jury. In such case, the Court may require counsel to submit in writing specific questions to be asked by the Court.

Rule 11 - Criminal Actions A. Use of Forms. An Acknowledgment of Rights form shall be presented to the Court by defense counsel at the time of arraignment. A Plea of Guilty and Waiver of Rights form shall be presented to the Court by defense counsel at the time of a guilty plea. The Court shall prepare and make available through the Clerk of Court the approved forms. Forms for Plea Agreements may also be prepared and made available. B. Omnibus Hearings; Use of Stipulations. Omnibus hearings or a case schedule submitted on an Omnibus form shall be ordered by the Court after entry of a not guilty plea. Prior to the time set for omnibus hearings, counsel for the prosecution and defense shall meet privately and attempt to stipulate to a Court-approved omnibus form which shall be submitted for final approval by the Court prior to the date of the omnibus hearing. Upon approval of the omnibus form, that hearing shall be vacated and trial date set by the Court together with any appropriate deadlines. C. Plea Bargain Negotiations. (1) Before the date of the omnibus hearing or other joint conference with the Court, the prosecutor and defense counsel must enter into plea negotiations. The Omnibus check sh¬eet shall include a declara¬tion that the parties have discussed a possible plea agreement. (2) Each department shall schedule pre-trial/status conference and trial date in an effort to avoid conflict, showing preference for incarcerated Defendants. (3) Each department may prepare a trial calendar before the first trial date. Within ten days of publication of the trial calendar in any depart¬ment, the prosecutor and the defense counsel shall enter into good faith plea bargaining negotiations in each case not yet resolved. By the 10th day, the parties in each case must: a) request that the case be set on the calendar for change of plea; or b) file a motion to continue over term and a waiver of speedy trial; or c) file a Request for Calling of Jury which will notify the Court that no plea bargained resolution is contem¬plated; or d) if a specific trial date is established by the Court other pretrial deadlines may be established. D. Judgment To Include Imposition of Costs of Prosecution, Etc. Pursuant to §46-18-232 and §25-10-201(9), M.C.A., which allows as costs reasonable and necessary expenses as are taxable according to the course and practice of the Court; and it being the practice in this district to allow reasonable costs of prosecution, the judgment in every

master-supervised settle¬ment conference as required by these rules. This require¬ment may be waived only upon motion and order of the Court. C. Trial Schedules. Jury and non-jury trials shall be scheduled by the Court throughout the year as time is available. D. Advising the Court of Settlement is Mandatory. When a case set for trial is settled, the parties must immediately advise the Court or scheduling clerk of that fact. Failure to do so may result in imposition of sanc¬tions. In addition, the Court may impose monetary sanctions sufficient to reim¬burse the Clerk of Court for any expenditures incurred by the Clerk of Court if a jury trial is settled or continued within 72 hours of its scheduled time. E. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law shall be submitted when required in a format for signature by the Court, together with a copy for the Court. A transmittal sheet shall accompany the findings indicating the party submitting the findings and that the findings were served upon all parties. Where possible a CD compati¬ble with Microsoft Word shall accompany the findings. F. Trial Briefs. Trial briefs must be served upon opposing counsel no less than five days before commencement of trial. Trial briefs will not be filed as perma¬nent Court records except by order of the Court, in which event the clerk shall file and docket the trial briefs as with any other pleading and then place them in the Court file. Thirty days after a final judgment has been issued, where the time for appeal has expired or the questions on appeal are finally resolved, the clerk will notify counsel that all discovery materials and trial briefs will be removed from the Court files and destroyed unless retrieved by counsel within thirty days of the date of the notice. G (1) Electronic Courtroom. To facilitate greater efficiency and enhance the juries’ ability to view exhibits contemporaneously, the Court has implemented an electronic trial system. The Court may require parties to use the electronic courtroom for a trial, particularly where a large number of exhibits will be presented, or where audiovisual exhibits or demonstrations are to be shown. Counsel may also request trial in the electronic courtroom. Counsel shall contact the Court Administrator for a demonstration to familiarize themselves with the electronic courtroom’s operation well in advance of trial. (2) Video Conferencing. All courtrooms are video-conferencing capable. We are able to connect with many district courts across the state. Additionally, we are often able to video conference with other sites within Montana and out of state. A scheduled hearing in which video conferencing is employed is generally at no cost to the parties if it is from courthouse to courthouse. This includes hearings in other venues where counsel have been given prior leave to appear via the video system. The system may also be reserved for depositions or other matters at a reasonable cost. For all matters in which a Judge of the Fourth Judicial District is not presiding, parties must contact the Clerk of Court to check for courtroom and video system availability. H. Jury Panels. The District Judges shall, at least thirty days prior to the commencement of the jury term, draw a panel of jurors to be used by all Judges. The clerk shall inform the Judges when a panel is required. The normal jury term is September through August. The clerk shall, upon a juror's service on a trial, remove that juror's name from the panel (unless requested to by the juror to serve on more panels). Any juror who comes in for selection of a case and who is not called to serve on the trial, shall have their name put back into the panel for further selection. FullCourt Jury is approved as the District Court’s computerized random selection process and satisfactorily fulfills the requirements for drawing trial jurors. I. Jury Instructions. Proposed jury instructions in a civil case shall be presented to the Court and served upon each adverse party within five days prior to the trial set be the Court. The original and one copy of each instruction proposed must be furnished to the Court, along with a CD of the instructions in Word. The copies submitted to the Court shall be numbered consecutively, specify the party on whose behalf they are requested, and include a citation of authority supporting the statement of law therein. The original shall be “clean,” i.e., bear no citation. The Court may receive additional proposed instruc¬tions relating to ques¬tions arising during the trial at any time prior to completion of settlement of jury instructions. Proposed forms of verdict must be submitted by each party at the same time and in the same manner as jury instructions.

Pursuant to §40-4-226, M.C.A., the Judges of the Fourth Judicial District have determined that it is in the best interests of the minor child(ren) that parties involved in a dissolution of marriage or parenting plan amendment (including child support and other actions) attend a Parenting Plan Orientation program. This program is a free service of the Court and is mandatory for both parents. It is held on every third Thursday of the month from 4:30-6:00. The case can not proceed to final hearing until proof of attendance from each party has been filed in the case record. (Exhibit “M”) B. Modification of Decree. Hearing on a modification of a decree of dissolution shall be held before the Judge of the depart¬ment who heard the dissolution action and signed the decree. C. Execution for Support Payments. The Clerk of Court shall not issue any execution for support or alimony payments due under any decree of dissolution unless supported by affidavit affirmatively showing the parties have not entered into any arrangements not contemplated by the decree of dissolution, that they are not living together, and that the payments are delinquent. Details of the delin¬quency must be specifically set forth. D. Custody Evaluations, Guardian Ad Litem. Fees for professional services ordered by the Court shall be equitably apportioned. The bench and bar will endeavor to establish procedures and guidelines to ensure that all parties and children, regardless of wealth, receive necessary services, evaluations and representation in dissolution proceedings. E. Assumption of Cases Involving Families and Children by One Department. In order to better serve the needs of families and children as well as efficient administration of justice, the Judges of the Fourth Judicial District direct that cases involving families/children and/or conservators/guardianships be consolidated so that one Judge be in jurisdiction of all related civil and criminal proceedings. Some examples of cases which would be consolidated pursuant to this Rule are: (1) conservatorship civil proceeding (2) civil commitment proceeding (3) juvenile proceeding (4) criminal cases involving domestic violence or other violence which affects or impacts the child directly

(5) abuse/neglect cases and adoptions (6) dissolutions In those instances where related cases have been filed in different departments, the cases shall be assumed by the Court in jurisdiction which has the lowest number, but remain separate causes for filing of the pleadings. Such assumption by one department will insure consistent and fully informed decisions concerning families. F. Child Visitation Guidelines. The District Court has adopted Montana Fourth Judicial District Child Visitation Guidelines, attached hereto as Exhibit "K". G. State Case Registry and Vital Statistics Reporting Form. No domestic relations case shall proceed to final hearing until the current Montana State Case Registry and Vital Statistics Reporting Form has been filled out by both parties and submitted to the Clerk of Court for filing.

Whenever the Court signs an order for such an investiga¬tion by the State Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services, it shall be the duty of counsel to mail or deliver a conformed copy of the Petition for Adoption and the Order for Investigation to:

Rule 11 - Parenting Plan Guidelines

11.1 A powerful cause of stress and suffering for children is not simply the divorce itself, but continuing conflict between the parents before, during and after the divorce. The parents should agree on a parenting arrangement for frequent and meaningful contact with both parents with as little conflict as possible. The ideal arrangement is for the parents to develop their own parenting plan. The following guidelines will help the parents in knowing what the presiding judge in the Fifth Judicial District believes is generally reasonable, unless special circumstances require a different arrangement. In the event the parenting plan becomes an issue in court, the judge will order whatever parenting plan best meets the needs of the children. Parents may be required to attend information sessions on the impact of their divorce upon children. Parents always should avoid speaking negatively about the other and should firmly discourage such conduct by others. Each parent should encourage the children to respect the other. Children should never be used by one parent to spy on the other. The basic rules of conduct and discipline established by the custodial parent should be the minimum standard for both parents and step-parents and should be consistently enforced by all so that the children do not receive mixed signals. Children benefit from continued contact with relatives and friends on both sides of the family. Such relationships should be protected and encouraged. Relatives must avoid being critical of either parent in the presence of the children. In Montana, grandparents have a legal right to reasonable visitation. Usually the children will visit with the paternal relatives during times the children are with their father and with the maternal relatives during times they are with their mother. Where both parents resided in the same community at the time of separation and then one parent left the area, the Court may, in a proper case, consider imposing the travel costs on the parent who moved.

Parents should always keep each other advised of their home and work addresses and telephone numbers. As far as possible, all communication concerning the children should be conducted between the parents themselves at their residences and not at their places of employment. 11.3 Grade Reports and Medical Information. Each parent shall provide the other parent with grade reports and notices from school as they are received. School(s) shall be notified of the split households and advised to send children's school documents to each parent. Each parent shall immediately notify the other of any medical emergencies or serious illnesses of the children. Each parent shall notify the other parent of all events involving parental participation. If a child is taking medication, each parent shall provide a sufficient amount and instructions during time with the other parent. 11.4 Parenting Time Clothing. Each parent shall send an appropriate supply of clothing with the children for their time with the other parent. These clothes are the children's clothes, and shall be returned clean (when reasonably possible) with the children. Each parent shall advise, as far in advance as possible, of any special activities so that the appropriate clothing may be sent. 11.5 Withholding Support or Scheduled Parenting Time. Neither parenting time nor child support shall be withheld because of the other parent's failure to comply with a court order. Children have a right both to support and time with each parent, neither of which is dependent upon the other. No support does not mean no parenting time and no parenting time does not mean no support. If there is a violation of either parenting time or a support order, the exclusive remedy is to apply to the Court for sanctions. 11.6 Adjustments in the Parenting Time Schedule. Parents should modify parenting time when family necessities, illnesses, or commitments reasonably require. The requesting parent shall give as much notice as circumstances permit. 11.7 Each Parent's Vacation. Unless otherwise specified in a court order or agreed each parent is entitled to a vacation with the children, usually equal to the vacation time spent with the other parent. 11.8 Insurance Forms. The parent who has medical insurance coverage for the children shall supply insurance forms and a list of approved health care providers in the area where the other parent is residing. A parent who, except in an emergency, takes the children to an unapproved provider should pay the additional cost created. When there is an obligation to pay medical expenses, the parent responsible shall be promptly furnished with the bill by the other. The parents shall cooperate in submitting bills to insurance carriers. The parent responsible for paying the balance of the bill shall make arrangements directly with the provider and shall inform the other parent of such arrangements. Insurance refunds should be delivered promptly to the parent who is entitled to it. 11.9 Missed Parenting Time. Each parent shall notify the other parent when a scheduled parenting time cannot occur. Missed parenting time shall not be replaced unless mutually agreed upon by the parties. 11.10 Parenting Time with Siblings. Unless a court order or circumstances such as age, illness, or the particular event suggest otherwise, all the children shall participate in parenting time. 11.11 Telephone Communication. Telephone calls between parent and child shall be liberally permitted at all reasonable hours and at the expense of the calling parent. The children may call at the long distance cost of the parent called. A parent shall not refuse to answer the telephone or turn off the telephone to deny the other parent telephone contact. Messages left for the child should be returned promptly. Parents should agree on a specified time for calls so that the children will be available. 11.12 Mail Contact. Parents have an unrestricted right to send cards, letters, and packages to their children. The children also have the same right with their parents. 11.13 Privacy of Residence. A parent may not enter the residence of the other except by invitation. Parents should refrain from surprise visits to the other parent's home. 11.14 Infants & Toddlers. Infants (children under eighteen months of age) and toddlers (eighteen months to three years) have a great need for continuous contact with parents who provide a sense of security, nurturing, and predictability. 11.15 Children in Day Care. In families where a child has been in day care prior to the parental separation, the child may be able to tolerate flexible visits earlier because the child is more accustomed to separations from both parents. The parent who exercises non-residential parenting time with a child under five should be present the whole time. If the

86 ÂŠ2011 Lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Deskbook & Directory

parent cannot be with the child personally, the child should be returned to the other parent. 11.16 Day Care Providers. When parents reside in the same community, they should use the same day care provider. To the extent possible the parents should rely on each other to care for the children when the other parent is unavailable. 11.17 Special Circumstances. a. Substance Abuse. Parenting time should not occur when the parent is abusing drugs/alcohol. b. Long Interruption of Contact. In those situations where one parent has not had an ongoing relationship for an extended period, parenting time should begin with brief visits and a gradual transition to the parenting time schedules suggested in these guidelines. c. A Parent's New Relationship. Parents should not expose the children too quickly to new relationships while they are still adjusting to the trauma of separation and divorce. d. Religion and Culture. Parents should respect their children's needs to be raised in their faith and in keeping with their cultural heritage.

Rule 12 - Parenting Time 12.1 Weekends. From Friday at 5:30 p.m. to Sunday at 7:00 p.m. (the starting and ending times may change by stipulation to fit the parents' schedules) or an equivalent period of time if the parent exercising parenting time is not available on weekends and the child does not miss school. In addition, if time and distance allow, one or two midweek visits. 12.2 Mother's Day-Father's Day. The children are with their mother each Mother's Day weekend and with their father each Father's Day weekend. 12.3 Extended Parenting Time. One-half of the school summer vacation. If the child goes to summer school and it is impossible for the other parent to schedule parenting time other than during summer school, that parent may elect to take the time when the child is in summer school and transport the child to the summer school session at the child's school or an equivalent summer school session in that parent's community. Summer parenting time supersedes children's summer activities. 12.4 Christmas Vacation. One-half of the school Christmas vacation, a period which begins the evening the child is released from school and continues to the evening of the day before the child will return to school. 12.5 Holidays. Parents should alternate the following holiday weekends: Easter, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving will begin on Wednesday evening and end on Sunday evening. Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends will begin on Friday and end on Monday evening. Easter weekend begins on Thursday evening and ends on Sunday evening. The 4th of July, when it does not fall on a weekend, shall include the weekend closest to the 4th. Holiday weekends begin at 5:30 p.m. and end at 7 p.m. on the appropriate days. 12.6 Children's Birthdays. A child's birthday should be alternated annually between the parents. If the birthday falls on a school day, it should be celebrated 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. 12.7 Conflicts Between Regular and Holiday Weekends. When there is a conflict between a holiday weekend and a regular weekend parenting time, the holiday takes precedence.

Release of Counsel of Record on Notice.

90 ÂŠ2011 Lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Deskbook & Directory

results in a separation of parents, child support liability shall commence immediately. Counsel for the parties shall, within 30 days of Respondent's first appearance, submit verified financial affidavits to the Court and to opposing party. The parties shall confer within 30 days to set a temporary amount of child support. If the parties are unable to reach agreement, the Court shall then determine the proper amount of temporary child support based on the Montana Child Support Guidelines. The parties shall then have 15 days to object to such calculation. If no objection is filed, the amount of support calculated by the court shall be made an order by the court for temporary support. Failure to make child support payments may result in the imposition of sanctions. In the event of a dispute as to either the appropriate temporary custodial parent or the appropriate amount of payments, either party may file a motion with the Court requesting a hearing on the matters in dispute. The Court may award attorney's fees at its discretion in or after such hearing. C. Parenting Mediation and Evaluations. Mediation of temporary and final parenting plans is preferred and strongly encouraged. Upon request of either party or sua sponte, the Court may order that the matter be referred to appropriate professional persons at the cost of one or both parties for investigation, report, and recommendation regarding parenting time of each child and parent. The report shall be returned to the Court, the parties, and their attorneys as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. D. Parenting Guidelines. Specific guidelines with respect to age of children is attached to these Rules as Appendix A. The general rules below will apply in all parenting cases, except by order of the Court. The age-specific guidelines are not mandatory and will not be applied arbitrarily to all cases; however, they offer a reasonable starting point for discussion among counsel and parties in the majority of cases. A powerful cause of stress, suffering, and maladjustment in children of divorce is not simply the divorce itself, but continuing conflict between the parents before, during and after the divorce. To minimize conflict over the children, the parents should agree on a parenting arrangement that is most conducive to the children having frequent and meaningful contact with both parents with as little conflict as possible. When parents' maturity, personality and communication skills are adequate, the ideal arrangement is reasonable parenting time upon reasonable notice, since that provides the greatest flexibility. The next best arrangement is a detailed parenting agreement made by the parents to fit their particular needs and, more importantly, the needs of the children. If the parents are unable to agree, however, the following guidelines will help the parents in knowing what the presiding judge in the Sixth Judicial District believes are generally reasonable, unless special circumstances require a different arrangement. (See Paragraph 1.17 in the Specific Guidelines attached.) In the event parenting time becomes an issue in court, the judge reserves the right to set whatever schedule best meets the needs of the children in that case. I . GENERAL RULES Parents should always avoid speaking negatively about the other and should firmly discourage such conduct by relatives or friends. In fact, the parents should speak in positive terms about the other parent in the presence of the children. Each parent should encourage the children to respect the other. Children should never be used by one parent to spy on the other. The basic rules of conduct and discipline established by the residential parent should be the base line standard for both parents and any step parents, and consistently enforced by all, so that the children do not receive mixed signals. When a parent is granted parenting time, the parent is expected, by the child(ren), the other parent, and by the Court, to exercise that parenting time. Children will benefit from continued contact with all relatives and family friends on both sides of the family for whom they feel affection. Such relationships should be protected and encouraged. But relatives, like parents, need to avoid being critical of either parent in front of the children. Parents should have their children maintain ties with both the maternal and paternal relatives. In Montana grandparents have a legal right to reasonable visits with their grandchildren, if it is in their best interests. Usually the children will visit with the paternal relatives during times the children are with their father and with the maternal relatives during times they are with their mother. 1.1 Parental Communication. Parents should always keep each other advised of their home and work addresses and telephone numbers. As far as possible, all communication concerning the children shall be conducted between the parents themselves in person, or by telephone at their residences and not at their places of employment.

At all other times the parent the child is with shall not refuse to answer the phone or turn off the phone in order to deny the other parent telephone contact. If a parent uses an answering machine, messages left on the machine for the child should be returned. Parents should agree on a specified time for calls to the children so that the children will be made available. 1.12 Mail Contact. Parents have an unrestricted right to send cards, letters and packages to their children. The children also have the same right with their parents. Neither parent should interfere with this right. 1.13 Privacy of Residence. A parent may not enter the residence of the other except by express invitation of the resident parent, regardless of whether a parent retains a property interest in the residence of the other. Accordingly, the children shall be picked up and returned to the front entrance of the appropriate residence, unless the court has ordered a different transfer point. The parent dropping the children off should not leave until the children are safely inside. Parents should refrain from surprise visits to the other parent's home. A parent's time with the children is their own, and the children's time with that parent is equally private. E. Parental Change of Residence.

In addition, the Court shall consider the following: a. The parent's good faith in moving, including timeliness in disclosing the proposed move to the other parent; b. The possibility of devising a visitation schedule that will allow meaningful contact with the non-custodial parent; and c. The quality of life in the proposed new community. F.

1.2 Grade Reports and Medical Information. The residential parent shall provide the non-residential parent with grade reports and notices from school as they are received and both parents shall have the right to communicate concerning the child directly with the school and with the children's doctors and other professionals outside the presence of the other parent. Each parent shall immediately notify the other of any medical emergencies or serious illnesses of the children. The residential parent shall notify the non-residential parent of all school or other events (like Church or Scouts) involving parental participation. If the child is taking medications, the residential parent shall provide a sufficient amount and appropriate instructions for its use during the non-residential parent's parenting time. 1.3 Children's clothing for Parenting Time. The residential parent shall send an appropriate supply of children's clothing with them, which shall be returned clean (when reasonably possible), with the children, by the non-residential parent. The non-residential parent shall advise, as far in advance as possible, of any special activities so that the appropriate clothing may be sent. 1.4 Withholding Support or Parenting Time. Neither parenting time nor child support is to be withheld because of either parent's failure to comply with a court order. Only the court may enter sanctions for non compliance. Children have a right both to support and parenting time, neither of which is dependent upon the other. In other words, no support does not mean no parenting time and no parenting time does not mean no support. If there is a violation of either a parenting or support order, the exclusive remedy is to apply to the court for appropriate sanctions. 1.5 Adjustments in the Parenting Time Schedule. Although there may be a specific court-ordered parenting time schedule, the parties are expected to fairly modify parenting time when family necessities, illnesses or commitments reasonably so require. The requesting parent shall act in good faith and give as much notice as circumstances permit. 1.6 Residential Parent's Vacation. Unless otherwise specified in a court order or agreed by the parties, the residential parent is entitled to a vacation with the children for a reasonable period of time, usually equal to the vacation time the non-residential parent takes with the children. The residential parent should plan a vacation during the time when the non-residential is not exercising extended parenting time, if possible. 1.7 Insurance Forms. The parent who has medical insurance coverage on the children shall supply, as applicable, insurance forms and a list of insurer approved or HMO qualified health care providers in the area where the other parent is residing. A parent who, except in an emergency, takes the children to a doctor, dentist or other provider not so approved or qualified should pay the additional cost thus created. However, when there is a change in insurance which requires a change in medical care providers and a child has a chronic illness, thoughtful consideration should be given by the parties to what is more important: allowing the child to remain with the original provider or the economic consequences of changing. When there is an obligation to pay medical expenses, the parent responsible therefor shall be promptly furnished with the bill by the other. The parents shall cooperate in submitting bills to the appropriate insurance carrier. Thereafter, the parent responsible for paying the balance of the bill shall make arrangements directly with the health care provider and shall inform the other parent of such arrangements. Insurance refunds should be promptly turned over to the parent who paid the bill for which the refund was paid. 1.8 Child Support Abatement. Unless a court order otherwise provides, support shall not abate during any parenting time. 1.9 Missed Parenting Time. When scheduled parenting time cannot occur due to events beyond either parents' control, such as illness of the parent who should have parenting time, or the child, a mutually agreeable substituted parenting time date shall be arranged, as quickly as possible. Each parent shall timely advise the other when a particular parenting time cannot be exercised. Missed parenting time should not be unreasonably accumulated. 1.10 Parenting Time a Shared Experience. Because it is intended that parenting time be a shared experience between siblings and, unless these Guidelines, a court order, or circumstances, such as age, illness, or the particular event, suggest otherwise, all of the children shall participate in any particular parenting time. 1.11 Telephone Communication. Telephone calls between parent and child shall be liberally permitted at reasonable hours and at the expense of the calling parent. The residential parent may call the children at reasonable hours during those periods the children are with the non-residential parent. The children may, of course, call either parent at reasonable hours during those periods the children are with the other parent. If the

Upon receipt of the check, warrant, or draft, the Clerk of Court must issue a trust fund receipt and deliver it to the Justice of the Peace or City Judge. (2) If the bail furnished was a bail bond or other bail as permitted by Section 46-9-401, MCA, the Justice or the City Judge must deliver the actual documents furnished as bail to the Clerk of the District Court. (3) All bonds presented to the District Court for approval shall recite that they are payable to the District Court. (4) Whenever bail has been set by and furnished to a Justice of the Peace in an action wherein the District Court has original trial jurisdiction and the County Attorney elects to proceed in District Court by filing a motion for leave to file an information direct, the following procedure must be complied with: (a) The County Attorney must, contemporaneously with the filing of the motion in District Court, file a written request with the Justice of the Peace asking that the bail be transferred to the District Court.

The length and conduct of voir dire examination shall not exceed one (1) hour per side without prior leave of Court. a. Only one attorney for each party shall be allowed to question the prospective jurors on voir dire. b. The only proper purpose of voir dire is to select a panel which will fairly and impartially hear the evidence presented and render a just verdict, and to determine the grounds for any challenge for cause. Accordingly, the Court, in exercising its discretion, will discourage counsel from: 1. Asking questions of an individual juror that are suscep tible of being asked collectively. 2. Asking questions covered by and answered in the juror questionnaire, except to explore some answer in great depth. 3. Repeating questions asked and answered. 4.

An appropriate order will then be entered for the purpose of avoiding, if possible, "taking the 5th" in the presence of a jury. 20. If the attorney for either party offers himself or herself as a witness on behalf of his client and gives evidence on the merits of an issue, he or shel shall not argue the case or sum it up to the jury except by permission of the Court and then he or she shall not comment on his or her own testimony.

Rule 20 - Final Parenting Plan, Disclosure In dissolution of marriage or legal separation actions, a decree will not be signed unless the court file contains proof of compliance with the following: A. Section 40-4-234, MCA. In the event there are minor children who are the issue of the parties, the proposed final parenting plan must be in sufficient detail for the Court to determine whether it is in the "best interest of the children". B. Sections 40-4-253, 40-4-254, and 40-4-257, MCA. For other than summary dissolutions, these statutes provide a final declaration of disclosure of assets, liabilities, and a current income and expense declaration. Note the certification and filing requirements under Section 40-4-254, MCA. Also note, under Section 40-4-257, MCA, the final disclosure requirements may be waived, but only if the preliminary declaration of disclosure requirement of Section 40-4-252, MCA has been complied with. C. The statutes do not make an exception for dissolutions or separations by default. D. Rule 5(a), M.R.Civ.P. provides, in part: "No service need be made on parties in default for failure to appear...". E. Requesting relief at trial that is different from that originally requested at the time of service is an "additional claim". Rule 54(c), M.R.Civ.P. requires that a judgement by default not be different in kind from, or exceed in amount, that prayed for in the demand for judgment. Thus, when a respondent has failed to appear and that person's default has been entered, or could be entered, the relief requested by the petitioner at the time of hearing may not differ from the relief requested in such documents as the Petition, Proposed Parenting Plan, and Proposed Division of Property and Debts. F. Rule 55(b), M.R.Civ.P. requires that a request for entry of a default judgment be to the Court and not to the Clerk of Court if it is for other than a sum certain. Dissolution and Separation actions, by requiring a finding that a division of property and debts is not unconscionable, precludes the Clerk of Court from entering a default judgment and invokes the discretion of the Court. If judgment by default is sought against someone who has appeared, that person must be provided written notice of application for judgment at least three days prior to the hearing. Additionally, if it is

98 ÂŠ2011 Lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Deskbook & Directory

necessary for the Court to take into account or to determine the amount of property or debts, or to establish the truth of any allegation so as to enable it to enter judgment or to carry judgment into effect, the Court "may conduct such hearings or order such references as it deems necessary and proper...". G. The obvious reasons for the above rules are to provide notice to the respondent of what the petitioner is requesting; the petitioner's detailed proposed parenting plan; the petitioner's detailed proposed division of property and debts; and the accurate computation of child support. The Court and the parties are entitled to finality in these matters. The Courts have the responsibility to determine whether property divisions are equitable, whether parenting plans are in the best interests of the children, and whether child support follows the guidelines. Full disclosure reduces the possibility of a collateral attack on the decree. In cases where service was originally made by publication, attempts to comply with the above statutes will be reviewed by the Court on a case by case basis. Rule 21 - Children In The Middle Video Presentation A. In all proceedings for dissolution of marriage or legal separation which involve minor children, both Petitioner and Respondent shall attend the "Children In The Middle" video presentation and discussion period before a decree will be entered by the Court. B. Attendance is mandatory.

Rule 22 - Alternative Dispute Resolution Mediation is a confidential meeting between the parties and the mediator to seek and promote communication between the parties with a view toward reaching a settlement. The parties may agree to attend a mediation conference without counsel. Any agreement reached in mediation shall be promptly reduced to writing and upon execution by the parties, a written status report shall be filed with the Court. A. Parties, at their own expense, may voluntarily retain a private individual for medation of their case. B. In domestic relations cases, mediation is mandatory. C. Settlement Conference. In all civil cases, the Court may require, at any time during the case, a settlement conference before an appointed settlement judge. Any party may move the Court to order a settlement conference. At the discretion of the Court, trial may be postponed or not scheduled until after a settlement conference is held. D. Sanctions. Failure of a party or counsel to participate in good faith in court-ordered medation or settlement, may result in sanctions such as imposition of costs and attorney's fees incurred by opposing party.

Rule 23 - Criminal Guilty Plea Before the Judge will accept any plea of guilty, a full executed document substantially in the form hereafter set forth and served upon all counsel and the defendant shall be filed with the Court.

Rule 24 - Criminal Law - Restitution Attorney's Fees

Pursuant to Montana law, at the time of any sentencing hearing in criminal matters involving appointed counsel, the prosecution and defense shall be prepared to present evidence and argument regarding restitution and attorney's fees. At the time of sentencing, defense counsel shall provide the Court with the fees and costs incurred in the case. The pre-sentence report shall determine restitution, if applicable, together with evidence supporting that sum. Failure to provide the above information may be considered grounds for contempt.

Rule 25 - Vision Net Teleconference and Telephonic Testimony

A. In an effort to conserve time and money, and without prejudging the rights of any party, witnesses may appear by Vision Net teleconference provided a motion has been made, served on opposing counsel, and there are no objections. Arrangements must be made in advance through the person designated by the Judge for the particular department. The cost of the Vision Net or other video conferencing shall be borne by the party requesting the use of the teleconference. B. Testimony by telephone audible to all parties will be allowed only if all parties to the action agree.

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages.

Rule 26 - Attorney's Fees A. In fixing attorney’s fees in all uncontested cases where the same are recoverable by virtue of any statute, or left to be fixed by the Court or by agreement of the parties, the following maximum fees will be applied: On all sums up to $1,000.00 — 33.33%. On all sums over $1,000.00 but less than $3,500.00 — $333.33 plus 20% of the amont over $1,000.00. On all sums over $3,500.00 but less than $7,500 — $833.33 plus 10% of the amount over $3,500.00. On all sums over $7,500.00 — $1,233.33 plus 1% of the amount over $7,500.00. The minimum fee on all foreclosure proceedings shall be $750.00. Extra fees may be allowed in the discretion of the Court. B. In fixing attorney's fees in all contested actions and proceedings, the Court will determine the fee commensurate with the character of the litigation and the amount of legal work involved. When an attorney acts as personal representative and does not employ counsel, a fee equal to one and one-half of the amount fixed by statute for personal representatives will be allowed. In guardianship, conservatorship, and trustee matters, the Court will allow reasonable fees for services rendered. Extra fees may be allowed in contested cases or in cases of unusual legal work. This rule may be suspended by any judge presiding and in any case he deems advisable.

Rule 27 - Treatment Court

Rule 32 - Free Press and Fair Trial

Within the spirit of the First Amendment, the presiding judge in any court proceedings open to the public shall permit the recording and broadcasting by radio and television, and the taking of photographs in circumstances of the individual case, or any portion thereof, that such recording, broadcasting, or photography would not substantially and materially interfere with the primary function of the court to resolve disputes fairly under the law.

As a general rule, counsel should not: (1) Ask any questions of an individual juror that are susceptible of being asked collectively. (2) Ask questions covered by and answered in the juror questionnaire, except to explore some questionnaire answer in greater depth.

(6) Ask a juror what his or her verdict might be under any hypothetical situation based on any expected evidence or otherwise. Upon failure of counsel to abide by this rule, the court may assume voir dire of the jury. In such case, the court may require counsel to submit in writing specific questions to be asked by the court. E. Vacating Trials.

MONTANA THIRTEENTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT RULES YELLOWSTONE COUNTY

Rule 1 - Departments - Division of Business For the convenient classification and division of business, the District Court of the Thirteenth Judicial District is divided into five departments assigned to individual judges and their successors as follows: Department No. 1 .............. Honorable Ingrid Gustafson Department No. 2 .............. Honorable Russell C. Fagg Department No. 3 .............. Honorable Susan P. Watters Department No. 4 .............. Honorable Gregory R. Todd Department No. 5 .............. Honorable G. Todd Baugh YELLOWSTONE COUNTY -- DIVISION OF BUSINESS. All cases of every nature shall be assigned by the Clerk in a random manner in equal numbers among the five departments, except that no assignment shall be made of the following: Abstracts of Judgment, Transcripts of Judgment, Warrants for Distraint, Certificates of Amount Due and Abstracts of Administrative Orders. If a criminal defendant, youth in need of care or delinquent youth has a second or subsequent case filed against him/her, the Clerk shall assign the new case to the Department previously assigned to that person's case, or, in youth court cases to the Department which has handled a former youth in need of care case related to the same family. Post-conviction relief cases shall be assigned to the Department which was assigned to the underlying criminal case. Protective Order matters shall be assigned to the Department previously assigned to the dissolution of marriage case, parenting plan case or paternity case between the same parties, if one exists. Department No. 3 shall administer Family Drug Court, and the Clerk shall assign all DN, Youth In Need Of Care cases, not selected by the Family Drug Court, among the four other departments only. MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE. A motion to consolidate cases (civil and criminal) filed in different departments shall be filed in each case but will be heard before the judge presiding in the department having the lowest cause number and, if the cases are consolidated, the trial will also be conducted in that department. Whenever there exists an active and open file related to a Protective Order or a Temporary Protective Order and subsequently the same parties are involved in a pending dissolution file (DR), the Protective Order case shall be closed and the contents transferred and combined into the pending dissolution file.

Rule 2 - Law and Motion Law and Motion days are distributed among the five departments such that there generally will be four days of law and motion each week. Generally, each Department will have a law and motion day four (4) times during a six (6) week period. Consult the Clerk of Court to determine Law and Motion on any given day. When Law and Motion falls on a holiday, all matters shall be deemed continued to the next regular Law and Motion day. In the event a judge is unable to hold Law and Motion on his/her assigned day, he/she shall make arrangements with another judge to preside in his/her place, or, if it is to be cancelled, provide advance notice, if possible, to the Clerk of Court of such cancellation, when possible. Law and Motion days are generally limited to uncontested matters. Contested matters and those involving presentation of evidence will not be heard on Law and Motion days except by leave of Court. Only the judge presiding will hear matters presented on each Law and Motion day and that judge shall hear all matters presented, whether filed in his/her department or another department; provided that any motion which is resisted, or any other matter which is contested, shall be heard by the judge of the department wherein such motion or matter is pending. All matters presented on Law and Motion day shall be heard in open court, in the courtroom of the judge presiding, provided that uncontested

matters of a self-evident nature, not including default divorces, if counsel so desires, may be left with the Clerk for presentation to the presiding judge. Each attorney shall designate in advance the matters to be presented by him/her on Law and Motion day. The matters so designated shall be listed by the Clerk on a Law and Motion calendar, which calendar shall be closed at 4:00 p.m. the day previous to each Law and Motion day. Immediately before the opening of Court on each Law and Motion day, the Clerk shall bring the Court file in each matter on the Law and Motion calendar to the courtroom of the presiding judge.

Rule 3 - Substitution of Judges Substitution of Judges is governed by Mont. Code Ann. §3-1-804 and those rules are herein supplemented because the Thirteenth Judicial District is a multi-judge district. When a party moves to substitute a judge in any case, the Clerk of Court shall at once reassign said case in a random manner to another department, making a memorandum thereof for the file and notifying the judges involved and all parties to said cause, or their attorneys, personally or by U. S. Mail. In a case in which a judge recuses him/herself, the reassignment of the case shall be made by the Clerk of Court in the same manner as motions for substitution. When an outside judge has been called in, it shall be the duty of plaintiff's counsel, a reasonable time in advance of any proceedings to be taken therein, to notify the local judge who was originally assigned to the case and with his/her assistance make arrangements for all personnel and facilities necessary to accommodate the needs of the case and the outside judge. Nothing herein shall prohibit a judge having jurisdiction of a case from calling in an outside judge to take jurisdiction of the case, pursuant to Mont. Code Ann., §3-5-111.

Rule 4 - (Repealed) Rule 5 - Motions - Extensions - Presentation Motions shall be governed by Rule 2, Uniform District Court Rules, except motions made pursuant to Rules 56, 59 and 60 of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure with the provision of said Rules. Prior to noticing a contested motion for argument or hearing, the moving party shall obtain a date and time for same from the Court. All motions shall be identified in the title of the pleading with the applicable rule number of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. Upon representation to the Court by the moving party that opposing counsel was notified and does not object to the motion, the Court may sign the order. Pursuant to Rule 6(b) of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure, extension of time for filing briefs may be granted on oral application without notice to the adverse party. All requests for extension of time, whether written or oral, shall be accompanied by an appropriate proposed order. Following the filing of a reply brief or the lapse of the time allowed either party for filing of a brief, the Clerk shall present such motion to the Court for decision. Any motion for which a hearing is requested or other immediate action by the Court is sought, a courtesy copy of the motion or request should be provided directly to the Court in chambers.

Rule 6 - Time to Amend

When a motion made under Rule 12(b)(6), Montana Rules of Civil Procedure is granted or denied, the unsuccessful party shall have twenty (20) days within which to amend or answer unless a different time shall be prescribed in the order granting or denying the motion.

Rule 7 - Case Management Pursuant to Rule 16, Montana Rules of Civil Procedure, except as hereinafter set forth, the Clerk will, at the time each case comes to issue, notify the department in which the case is filed of the fact that the case is at issue. That department shall be responsible to cause the case to be placed upon its pretrial calendar. If a case is not at issue within 100 days after the complaint is filed, then the Clerk will notify the department in which the case is filed. The following matters (cases) shall be excluded from the foregoing:

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages. (a) All Delinquent actions (b) All Youth In Need Of Care actions (c) All Criminal actions (d) All Probate matters (e) All Adoptions (f) All Insanity matters (g) All Appeals from lower courts DV

Rule 8 - Trials Each cause shall be tried before the judge of the department in which it is filed. Non-jury and jury trials will be held throughout the year as time is available. Trial settings will be made by the Court upon request to the Court by either party, pursuant to Rule 7 of these Rules and Rule 16, Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. Each judge shall summon a panel of jurors as needed to try the cases in his/her own department. No judge shall excuse any juror from service in a department other than his/her own.

Rule 9 - Dismissal for Failure to Prosecute When no proceedings have been taken in any civil cause for a period of one year, the action will be dismissed on its merits and/or the file closed by the Court on its own motion after ten (10) days notice of such intended dismissal unless good cause to the contrary is shown. Any party that intends to show cause that an action should not be dismissed or the file closed will give notice of his reasons for opposing the dismissal to any other party. Within ten days of such notice, any other party may file his objection and notice the matter for hearing. The Clerk shall give notice to the attorneys of record or the parties when an action is dismissed pursuant to this rule. The Clerk shall notify the attorney of record ninety (90) days before the expiration of two (2) years from the filing of an estate matter that it has not been completed and that fact will be brought to the attention of the Court in ninety (90) days for such action as may be appropriate.

Rule 10 - Trial Briefs

Unless otherwise ordered, at least two (2) days before the trial of any cause, civil or criminal, counsel shall present to the judge presiding and serve upon opposing counsel a trial brief, setting forth a statement of the theory of their cause and the issues involved, with a statement of the authorities upon which they rely as to both the law of the case and in support of the introduction of evidence proposed to be offered. The presiding judge may waive a trial brief upon request and for good cause.

Rule 11 - Voir Dire - Opening Statements Closing Arguments Voir dire shall not be conducted in a manner calculated to create prejudice or bias or to disqualify the entire panel by what may be revealed by one prospective juror. Sensitive matters may, upon request, be examined one juror at a time and out of the presence of the balance of the panel. Voir dire shall not be used to argue the merits of the case. The use of written instructions anticipated to be given by the Court shall not be permitted, but this does not prohibit reasonable inquiry concerning aspects of the law which are applicable to the issues. Voir dire examination shall be limited to one hour for each party, unless for good cause shown, additional time is secured from the Court. Opening statements shall be limited to one-half hour and closing arguments (including rebuttal) shall be limited to one hour; for good cause, additional time may be requested.

Rule 12 - Orders, Judgments and Decrees It shall be the duty of counsel obtaining any order, judgment or decree to present the same, accompanied by the court file, in written form for the signature of the Judge at the time of applying for the order, judgment or decree. Except in those instances where prior arrangements have been made with the Court or in matters of a self-evident nature concerning which the Court will have no questions, no requests for the issuance of an order will be considered by the Court unless the request is made by counsel in person.

If service of an executed order is to be made by the Court, a party presenting an unopposed or routine order shall furnish stamped envelopes addressed to the parties upon whom the documents will be served. When any order is made by the Court, it must immediately thereafter be presented to the Clerk by counsel. A copy of any order, the original of which is being taken out for service, shall be presented to the Clerk immediately upon the signing thereof.

Nothing shall be removed from the files in criminal actions before trial without a written order from the Judge. No file shall be taken from the office of the Clerk of Court in any county without the consent of the Clerk and without the receipt therefore acknowledged in writing by the party taking the same provided, however, that no record or paper belonging to a file shall be taken from the custody of the Clerk for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive hours of a working day after its initial filing except by permission of one of the Judges of the Court. The Clerk of Court shall be responsible for the safekeeping and return of all files, but shall allow a reasonable use of same.

During the absence of any Judge, the Judges present and presiding, or any of them, may enter orders and make disposition, temporary or final, of any case or matter pending before the absent Judge. However, when any order is made for a hearing to be had thereafter, the Judge present and presiding shall make the order returnable before the Judge to whom it is assigned.

Failure to provide documentation shall be grounds for rejection of documents into evidence at the time of the termination trial. Counsel for the Department, at the time of the filing of a petition for termination of parental rights, shall also provide to counsel for the parents any exculpatory documentation, including, but not limited to, documents supportive of a parent's ability to parent and documents evidencing completion of treatment plan tasks.

Rule 22 - Interrogatories

RULE 22 The form of interrogatories and answers thereto shall conform to the requirements of Rule 33, Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. The Court will, except in extraordinary circumstances, sustain a motion to quash all interrogatories if it appears that numerous frivolous interrogatories are asked therein. (Comment: This rule is intended to require the interrogator to custom prepare his interrogatories to the case at hand.)

Rule 23 - Transcript

RULE 23 Except for good cause shown, no extension of time will be granted in any case in addition to the time allowed by statute in which to prepare a transcript unless the party desiring such extension shall first make a written request to the court reporter for a transcript of the notes of the testimony and shall file and serve a copy of his request and, at the same time, make satisfactory arrangements to pay the estimated fees therefore.

Rule 24 - Evidence as to Character Not more than two witnesses will be allowed to testify as to character in any cause, civil or criminal, without leave of the Court being first asked and obtained.

Rule 25 - Guilty Plea Before the judge will accept any plea of guilty, the attorney for the defendant shall file with the Court a fully executed Acknowledgment of Waiver of Rights by plea of guilty, in the form and with content consistent with the one on file with the Clerk in the general order file, copies of which shall be available from the Clerk. Copies of the executed document shall be served upon the persons designated by said form and at the time provided.

Rule 26 - Criminal Cases A. In a criminal case, if a not-guilty plea is entered at the time of the arraignment, the case will be set for Omnibus hearing at a later date. The State or the defendant may make any motion permitted under the Montana Rules of Criminal Procedure at any time after arraignment and said motion shall be noticed for hearing by the moving party. Dispositive motions shall be made within sixty (60) days of arraignment. B. The Court hereby urges that full discovery, exploration and plea discussions be carried out between counsel prior to the Omnibus hearing. C. It is contemplated that most cases will be on a course for trial or be ready for a guilty plea at the time of the Omnibus hearing. If a defendant is going to plead guilty, he shall do so as soon as possible and in all events prior to trial. D. Unresolved cases will come on for trial after the Omnibus hearing. E. On the form, the State and defense may check off the items called to the attention of the Court and note for their file copy the action taken. Such annotations will become a motion by the defense and by the prosecution for the relief requested and a shorthand record of the action taken. If a sufficient record has been made in the Omnibus hearing, the Court will summarily hear, consider and decide motions checked on the Omnibus form. However, the Court, upon request or upon its own direction, may permit the defendant or the State to state in writing motions and grounds therefore and to support said motions with appropriate supporting documents. If witnesses are to be called, the Court will set a date certain for a hearing upon the motion. F. In all cases in which the Court has discretion to consider a motion or allow the exercise of a defense at a later date than that designated in any statute, no party shall be deprived of the right to make such motion to designate such defense by waiting to present the same at the time of the Omnibus hearing, as contemplated by this rule.

Rule 27 - Evaluations, Therapy and Counseling in DR Cases

The Judge to whom a domestic relations case with visitation and/or child custody issues is assigned shall consider, at the time of the scheduling conference or at any subsequent time, the advisability of requiring the parties to participate at their own cost in such evaluation, counseling, therapy, course of education and/or dispute resolution as may appear necessary and appropriate in the circumstances relative to the parenting and/or dissolution issues. Any party may also request the Court to order the same at any time.

Rule 28 - (Repealed) Rule 29 - Settlement Conferences and ADR The Judge to whom a case is assigned shall consider, at the time of the scheduling conference or at any subsequent conference, the advisability of requiring the parties to participate in a settlement conference or other alternative dispute resolution process including, but not limited to, mediation.

If a settlement master or mediator is appointed by the Court or selected by the parties his/her fees shall be paid equally by the parties unless otherwise agreed. In the event that any party objects to a settlement conference by a settlement master for any reason, including inability to pay the costs associated with mediation, the presiding Judge may, in his discretion, request another District Court Judge to preside over a settlement conference or mediation. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed to by the parties in writing, the following guidelines shall apply to settlement conferences before a settlement master and to mediations before a mediator: (1) Counsel who will actually try the case shall attend the settlement conference. All parties shall attend in person. Corporations named as a party and involved insurance companies shall have a representative present who has authority to settle the claim without the necessity of seeking or obtaining authority from some other person or entity; provided, however, that if, in the judgment of the settlement master, the magnitude of the case does not require such representative to be present in person, he shall have authority to proceed with an experienced representative present who shall have access by telephone to the person with final authority. (2) A statement from each party or counsel shall be submitted directly to the settlement master or mediator no later than three (3) business days prior to the conference. The statement may not exceed five (5) pages in length and shall contain: (i) The background of the case; (ii) Factual and legal issues, including damages; (iii) Points and authorities of law; (iv) A description of the strongest and weakest points in their case, both legal and factual, and that of their opponents; (v) The history of settlement negotiations, including a recitation of any specific offers and demands; and (vi) The settlement statement shall not be filed or exchanged with other parties and will be returned to the party providing the statement at the close of the settlement conference. (Provided, however, that a report of the success or failure of the settlement conference may be made to the Yellowstone County Bar for statistical purposes.) (3) All communications made in connection with the settlement conference or mediation are confidential and will not be disclosed to anyone. Statements or communications of any kind occurring during the settlement conference may not be used by any party with regard to any aspect of the litigation.

At least eleven (11) business days prior to the commencement of a civil or criminal jury trial, defendant's/respondent's counsel shall advise the Clerk of Court whether said trial will proceed such that the Clerk of Court has sufficient time to call a jury, or alternatively, to set other matters in the time slot set aside for a vacated, continued, or otherwise settled matter. Failure to comply with the requirements of this rule may result in the imposition of sanctions where appropriate. 7. During any contested hearing, no argument or motion to the Court, other than a formal objection, will be entertained unless counsel making the same first stands in his place to address the Court, and the Court grants a request for argument. Argument, when permitted by the Court, shall cease on completion of rebuttal. 8. The party whose duty it is to first offer proof in any trial or proceeding shall have the right to open and may close the argument. Should the adverse party waive argument, no rebuttal will be permitted. 9. In the examination of witnesses, only one counsel for each party

ing oral argument. In the event the Court grants oral argument, the moving party shall schedule such argument with the appropriate Court personnel and opposing counsel, and shall present an order setting oral argument for signature. If the Court determines on its own motion that oral argument would be beneficial to a determination of the motion, it shall so order and will notify the parties of the time and date of hearing. B. Scheduled hearings on motions pending may be continued by the Court on its own initiative or upon the written motion of any party with notice to all adverse parties. All such motions to continue must be submitted in writing and accompanied by an appropriate formal order prepared for the Court's approval. C. Setting and Continuing Hearings: 1. Where the parties have appeared, either personally or through counsel, the Court will neither set nor continue a hearing on a party's motion, unless the moving party first obtains dates the opposing party, or counsel if represented by counsel, is available, and has checked with the Clerk of Court or the judge's legal assistant to identify the earliest appropriate dates when all parties may attend. This information shall be certified in the written motion and the moving party shall retain appropriate documentation to support such certification. In the event that a moving party has unsuccessfully attempted to obtain such information from the opposing counsel or party, if not represented by counsel, the moving party shall certify to the extent of such efforts and that such information was not reasonably available, whereupon the Court may set the hearing. 2. Reference Uniform District Court Rule (UDCR) 3 concerning ex parte matters. See appendix for forms designed to meet the requirements of UDCR 3. 3. Reference MCA §§ 40-4-219 and -220 regarding motions to modify parenting plans. D. Time settings for hearings on contested motions will be obtained from the judge's legal assistant and the Clerk of Court. E. In order to avoid scheduling conflicts, all persons requesting non-judicial use of district courtrooms, jury rooms, libraries or judicial office spaces shall schedule such usage with the Clerk of Court. F. The proponent of any motion filed with the Court must submit, contemporaneously with the motion, a proposed order granting the relief sought. If the proponent of the motion wishes for the Clerk of Court to mail the signed order to any party, the proponent shall also deliver properly pre-addressed and pre-stamped envelopes for all parties to receive a copy of the signed order. G. The Court may establish time parameters for beginning and ending any hearing or trial. Unless prior Court approval is obtained, the parties should expect the Court to enforce the time limits set by the Court or stated by the parties at the time of scheduling. H. Reference UDCR 2 for additional information.

will be permitted to examine or cross-examine the same witness, except by prior permission of the Court. 10. Counsel must stand at the lectern when talking, except when making objections. However, if the objection and discussion become lengthy, counsel shall then move to the lectern. 11. Counsel shall not use any exhibits or charts in an opening statement without first obtaining the Court's approval. 12. Counsel shall not stand between a witness and the jury. 13. Counsel shall not have a witness stand with his or her back to the court reporter. 14. Counsels' closing arguments will be no more than forty-five (45) minutes unless otherwise specifically permitted by the Court. Plaintiff's counsel must use at least half (½) of his or her time in the initial argument, and in the remaining time reserved for plaintiff's counsel's rebuttal, he or she may not address any matters not previously addressed in the initial portion of plaintiff's counsel's closing argument or in the defendant's closing argument. 15. Unless the Court allows otherwise, one counsel from each side shall stay in the courthouse during jury deliberations. Other counsel and the parties will remain available upon ten (10) minutes notice. 16. Court sessions normally will be held until at least 5:00 p.m. Therefore, parties must be sure to have a sufficient number of witnesses ready to testify such that neither the Court's nor the jury's time is wasted by an early adjournment due to a witness not being present to testify. 17. If counsel must make an argument outside the presence of the jury, he or she must inform the Court either before the jury is called in or a recess is taken. 18. The judge needs time to rule on objections. Therefore, counsel shall not proceed with questioning until the judge rules. Counsel may make arguments only with the judge's approval and usually outside the jury's presence. Objecting counsel is responsible for interposing the objection before the witness begins answering, otherwise the objection is untimely. 19. Offers of proof will be made, whenever possible, during recesses and outside the jury's presence. 20. Counsel, not the Court, is responsible for making his or her record. For example, if at a side bar, the Court orders counsel to terminate a particular line of questioning, then at the next opportunity outside the presence of the jury, counsel must recite on the record those matters occurring at side bar. 21. Counsel must treat one another, as well as the Court and its staff, with professionalism and civility, if not respect. B. Witnesses: 1. Counsel must advise his or her witnesses to "speak up" when testifying. 2. Counsel may approach the witnesses and the bench only with the Court's permission. 3. Counsel is responsible for briefing his or her witnesses on matters which are inadmissible, such as the existence of insurance or the Court's ordered exclusion of particular matters. 4. If the Court has ordered witnesses to be excluded from the courtroom, counsel must advise his or her witnesses of that fact and further advise them not to discuss their testimonies with other waiting witnesses. 5. Any counsel, party, or witness who anticipates that any witness to be called at a trial by jury may refuse to answer a question on the basis that so doing may tend to incriminate him or her shall advise the Court prior to calling that witness to testify. Upon being so advised, the Court shall hold a hearing outside of the presence of the jury to determine if, in fact, such will be the case. The Court will then enter an appropriate order for the purpose of avoiding, if possible, "taking the 5th" in the jury's presence. 6. Without first obtaining leave of Court, a maximum of three (3) witnesses for each side is permitted to testify regarding a person's character in any case, whether civil or criminal. 7. Without first obtaining leave of Court, a maximum of three (3) non-expert witnesses for each side is permitted to testify regarding a person's parenting practices and abilities in any contested parenting proceeding. C. Jury Instructions and Jury Issues: 1. Counsel shall provide the Court and opposing counsel with jury instructions and verdict forms at the start of the trial, or as otherwise allowed by the Court, and any additions as soon thereafter as possible. Counsel for all parties shall check the instructions to avoid duplication.

The newest Montana Pattern Civil or Criminal Jury Instructions, as applicable, shall be used as the primary source. Instructions shall be on 8½" x 11" paper. See also UDCR 7. 2. Counsel shall ensure that the proposed instructions are correct with respect to gender and as to whether parties are singular or plural. 3. Instructions shall be numbered P# or D#, at bottom right corner of page. Below the instruction shall appear "Given: DISTRICT JUDGE*". (*Department 1: Counsel for each party shall provide the Court with an original of each instruction without citation of any authority at the bottom of the page.) 4. The Court will provide counsel with the pre-arranged order of instructions to be given. 5. At no time during the trial, except in voir dire, may counsel ask questions of or seek information from the jury. 6. During closing argument, counsel must stay a reasonable distance from the jury box. 7. Counsel for the parties must ensure that they themselves, their clients, and their witnesses remain apart from the jury at all times. 8. Counsel shall not repeat in voir dire those matters that the Court has already covered in remarks to the jury. 9. Counsel may not orally challenge any juror except for cause. Counsel shall exercise or waive all peremptory challenges orally in open court after the potential jurors are removed from the courtroom. 10. Jurors shall be allowed to take notes unless the presiding judge, considering the nature of the case, orders otherwise. No juror is required to take notes. The bailiff shall collect the jurors' notes at the end of each day and shall return the notes to the jurors at the beginning of the next day. Jurors shall be permitted to have their notes during deliberation. 11. Voir Dire: (A) The length and conduct of voir dire examination shall not exceed one (1) hour per side without prior leave of Court. (B) Only one (1) counsel for each party shall question the prospective jurors on voir dire. (C) The proper purposes of voir dire are to select a panel which will fairly and impartially hear the evidence presented and render a just verdict and to determine the grounds for any challenge for cause. Accordingly, counsel shall not do any of the following: 1. Ask questions of an individual juror that are susceptible of being asked collectively. 2. Ask questions covered by and answered in the juror questionnaire, except to explore some answer in depth. 3. Repeat questions asked and answered. 4. Use voir dire for the purpose of attempting to instruct the jury on the law. 5. Use voir dire for the purpose of arguing the case. 6. Ask a juror what his or her verdict might be under any hypothetical situation, based upon expected evidence or otherwise. D. In any case, whether civil or criminal, the Court will not consider for any purpose any stipulation between the parties unless it is either made in open court on the record, entered on the minutes, or made into a writing which is subscribed by either the party against whom it is sought to be enforced or by such party's counsel.

Rule 7 - Courtroom Technology

A. Counsel planning to utilize the electronic evidence presentation system must inform the legal assistant or the Clerk of Court of that fact at least one (1) business day prior to the court date. Counsel should then confirm the availability and functioning of the system the day before the trial or hearing. Counsel must completely set up and test all electronic evidence presentation equipment prior to using it in any judicial proceeding. B. Counsel is expected to utilize the electronic evidence presentation system when appropriate. Counsel using charts and photographs without the system may do so only with prior permission of the Court. If the Court grants permission, charts and photographs must be enlarged enough to be seen across the courtroom, mounted on stiff backing, and displayed from an easel provided by the offering counsel. Both counsel and witnesses must be prepared to stand to the side of the chart or photograph and to use a pointer during the trial. C. At a time well in advance of the scheduled trial or hearing date,

Rule 9 - Filings A. Counsel shall file all motions and briefs with the Clerk of Court. If a fee is required, such as with a motion for substitution of judge, counsel shall pay the required filing fee at the time of filing the motion. B. Upon the filing of a motion for leave to file an amended complaint or answer, a complaint in intervention, or any other pleading requiring the Court's leave, the moving party shall present the Clerk of Court with a copy of the proposed pleading. The Clerk of Court shall lodge the original document for which leave to file is sought. If the Court grants leave to file, the Clerk of Court shall file the original forthwith. C. Except as provided in UDCR 4, discovery documents may not be filed with the Clerk of Court without prior leave of Court. Upon receipt of a deposition pursuant to UDCR 4, after leave of Court has been granted, the Clerk of Court shall file it in the open file, unless otherwise ordered. In the event the Court orders filing of discovery documents, the Clerk of Court shall receive such documents, note them upon the register of the action, and place them in a separate Court file, with the file number noted. After final judgment and the running of the time for appeal, the Clerk of Court shall notify counsel to retrieve the filed discovery within thirty (30) days. If counsel fails to retrieve the discovery documents, the Clerk of Court may destroy them. D. When a demand for a jury trial is incorporated into a pleading, counsel is to so indicate in the title as well as the body of the pleading. E. Any papers filed which do not conform MRCP 10 and 11 may be stricken by the Court on its own initiative upon such terms as appear to the Court to be just. F. When a party obtains an order or arrest warrant from the Court, the party shall immediately present the order or warrant to the Clerk of Court for filing. G. When counsel wishes to have only one subpoena issued, he or she shall deliver one original subpoena and one copy of the subpoena

to the Clerk of Court for issuance. When counsel wishes to have more than one subpoena issued, he or she shall present one original subpoena for each person or entity to be served and one praecipe listing the name of each person or entity for whom or which a subpoena is to be issued. H. All briefs required by rule, regulation, or order to be filed by a date certain shall be filed by the required date. Any requests for an extension of time shall be filed and served prior to the due date. The Court may strike briefs not filed in a timely manner and impose other appropriate sanctions. I.

L. Citations to authority must include photocopies of any cases cited which do not appear in Pacific Reporter or Montana Reports. M. All documents of fifteen (15) pages or more filed with the Clerk of Court shall be pre-punched at the top and stapled in order to facilitate filing. N.

Rule 10 - Settlement Conferences and Pre-Trial A. All civil actions set for trial may be subject to a settlement conference upon order of the Court for cause shown. All criminal actions set for trial may be subject to a resolution conference as set by the Court. B. If the Court determines that a pre-trial conference is unnecessary in any cause, the Court will order the cause to be tried without a pre-trial order.

Rule 11 - Attorneys A. Unless appearing specifically on behalf of one counsel of record, no counsel may participate in any proceedings in the case until the counsel's name has been entered of record as one of counsel. B. In case of a dispute over a counsel's authority to represent a party in a pending proceeding, the Court will not recognize the right of that counsel to appear in such proceedings unless he or she has a written retainer signed by the party and filed in the record of the case. Alternatively, the Court will recognize the authority of counsel to appear on behalf of a party that has personally signed his or her own pleadings when no other counsel has ever appeared therein on the party's behalf. C. Counsel may not withdraw from any case, civil or criminal, except by consent of the client or by leave of Court after notice is served on the parties and opposing counsel. This provision shall be applied in conjunction with MCA §§ 37-61-403 through -405 and UDCR 10. D. Counsel shall not address a witness on the stand in any manner except to propound the question to which an answer is desired.

From one year after the time for appeal from any final judgment or decree in a civil matter has run, the presumption shall be that any party previously represented by counsel is no longer represented by such counsel in that particular matter. This rule shall not be construed to prohibit continued representation in such matter if the client and attorney agree. Neither is the rule intended to prohibit earlier termination of the attorney-client relationship upon notice.

Rule 12 - Attorney's Fees In all cases, contested or uncontested, where attorney's fees are requested in the pleadings, counsel shall submit competent evidence to the Court such that the Court might determine reasonable attorney fees for the services rendered.

Rule 14 - Facsimile Filings A. Counsel may file any document with the Clerk of Court by facsimile if that document, pursuant to the Montana rules of procedure, may also be filed by mail. B. The date and time of receipt of the transmission by the Clerk of Court shall be the date and time of filing. If the original is not served on the same day as the facsimile transmission, service of the facsimile document must be made as provided in MRCP 5(e). The Clerk of Court shall not file any document that does not contain all required signatures and/or seals. C. The certificate of service for any document filed by facsimile must reflect that the document was filed with the Clerk of Court by facsimile and the date of such facsimile filing. Unless an order of Court is obtained extending the time, counsel's failure to deliver to the Clerk of Court the signed original within five (5) business days of the Clerk of Court's receipt of the facsimile copy shall cause the facsimile filing to be treated as void. D. The use of facsimile equipment does not change or delay the required payment of associated fees. Counsel filing any document via facsimile shall pay the required fees in the manner and within the time required by the Clerk of Court. Counsel shall also pay any costs associated with the use of facsimile equipment and telephone services.

Rule 15 - Adoption Matters In all adoption matters, the investigation required by MCA §§ 42-3201, 42-3-301, 42-4-106, 42-4-113, or 42-4-209, will be ordered by the Court unless excused by MCA §§ 42-3-212, 42-4-205(3), or 42-4-309. Counsel shall present to the Court an order for the investigation. The investigation will then be considered for waiver by the Department of Public Health and Human Services if the petitioner is a stepparent or a member of the child's extended family. Whenever the Court signs an order for such an investigation by the Department of Social and Rehabilitative Services, counsel shall mail or deliver a conformed copy of the petition for adoption and the order for investigation to the appropriate Department of Public Health and Human Services agency.

gency situation exists in the child's current environment that endangers the child. MCA § 40-4-220(2). Note: UDCR 3 applies to this ex parte application. Opposing counsel, if any, should be notified of the time and place of the application, the Court should be notified whether opposing counsel objects, and the Court should be provided with sufficient copies of orders for service. F. Montana Code Annotated § 25-1-201 provides for a $120 filing fee for filing a contested petition (motion) for amendment of a final parenting plan. Pursuant to MCA § 40-4-219(7), a prior parenting plan means a parenting determination contained in a judicial decree or order made in a parenting proceeding. Therefore, a final custody decree or order qualifies as a "final parenting plan" in determining whether a new filing fee is payable. A motion to amend parenting plan (custody decree) is deemed contested unless both parties stipulate to the motion at the time it is made. G. After entry of an order for child support that is to be collected by Child Support Enforcement Division, counsel for the party to receive the child support shall give notice to Child Support Enforcement Division in accord with Montana law. H. When child support is ordered to be paid directly to the Office of the Clerk of Court, counsel for the party ordered to pay child support shall inform their client to include an additional $2.00 in each payment in order to cover the associated costs, including the check, ledger sheets, and postage. The proposed decree shall include in the final order the child support obligor's obligation to include the additional $2.00 in each child support payment. I. A completed Vital Statistics reporting form shall be presented to the Clerk of Court when filing the Final Decree of Dissolution.

Unless scheduled by the Judge, contested matters, matters involving questions of fact, or matters requiring more than 30 minutes for presentation shall be scheduled through the Court’s Administrative Assistant at (406) 654-1062.

Rule 19 - Scheduling and Pre-Trial (a) Scheduling Procedure. Rule 16(b), M.R.Civ.P. requires a scheduling order to be issued no more than 120 days after filing of complaint. Within twenty (20) days of filing of all responsive pleadings or ninety (90) days after the filing of a complaint, whichever comes first, Plaintiff(s) will present to the Court a proposed Order setting scheduling conference. At least ten (10) days prior to the scheduling conference, attorneys for the parties and any unrepresented parties shall have a phone conference with the Court’s Administrative Assistant at (406) 654-1062 to discuss a proposed scheduling order. Should this phone conference result in an agreed scheduling order, parties shall complete and present a written scheduling order in approved format for Court approval. Court approval of the submitted scheduling order shall vacate the scheduling conference. Should attorneys for the parties and all unrepresented parties stipulate to a waiver of discovery, an immediate trial scheduling conference may be held with the Court’s Administrative Assistant. Parties should be prepared at the scheduling conference with their calendars so a firm trial date can be set. Following the scheduling conference, a scheduling order with discovery deadlines and trial date will be issued by the Court. Under Rule 16(b), M.R.Civ.P., the following matters are exempt from this scheduling procedure: 1. Youth Court cases 2. Criminal actions 3. Probates 4. Adoptions

Trials may be stacked, i.e., more than one trial may be set for the same time, and if so, the Court shall determine the order of priority. Regardless of order, counsel and parties should be prepared to commence trial at the time scheduled. If preempted by another trial, the Court will reset trial and, whenever possible, to commence within the next thirty (30) days. Because of difficulty in obtaining jurors, jury trials will not be set in July, August and the last half of December except as found necessary. Reasonable effort will be made for initial trial settings to commence as follows: In Valley County: During week commencing with first monthly law and motion in Rule 18(a)(i), LDCR. In Phillips County: During week commencing with second monthly law and motion in Rule 18(a)(ii), LDCR. In Blaine County: During week commencing with first monthly law and motion in Rule 18(a)(iii), LDCR. (c) Six-Person Juries. Pursuant to § 3-15-106, MCA, in all civil actions where the relief sought in the complaint is under the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000.00), the trial jury shall consist of six persons. The Court encourages parties to stipulate to six-person juries in other civil cases where appropriate. (d) Extension of Discovery Deadlines. Discovery deadlines are to be followed. Extension of deadline to complete discovery must be by Court order upon written request setting forth the discovery accomplished to date, the reasons for missed discovery deadlines, and a statement regarding opposing counsel’s position on the request. The request must be accompanied by a proposed order identified as “Amended Discovery Order” containing proposed new deadlines. (e) Monitoring. The Court’s Administrative Assistant will monitor deadlines established by scheduling order(s). Failure to diligently respond to monitoring inquiry may result in sanctions, including removal from the trial calendar or loss of trial priority status. (f) Final Pretrial Conference. A date and time for the Final Pretrial Conference (FPC) under Rule 5, UDCR will be set at the scheduling conference. Each party represented by counsel will have an attorney present at the FPC with authority to make stipulations and admissions. Counsel should inform the Court at the FPC of health conditions or other special needs of counsel, a party or witness that will likely need attention during trial. (g) Sanctions. Sanctions for violating the Court’s scheduling order or pretrial conference agenda may be imposed under Rule 16(f), M.R.Civ.P. (h) Postponement of Trials. Requests to continue trial must be by written motion setting forth specific reasons and a statement whether other parties oppose continuance. Continuances are addressed to the discretion of the judge. Any motion to postpone trial on grounds of absence of witness or evidence shall be supported by affidavit under § 25-4-501, MCA showing that reasonable grounds exist to believe the absent witness or evidence cannot otherwise be obtained and that the same will be available should postponement be granted.

Rule 20 - Security

(a) Weapons. Only on-duty law enforcement officers or court security personnel shall be entitled to bring or carry firearms or other weapons in the courtroom, chambers or offices of other court personnel.

Rule 8 Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. Rule 8 - Proposed Findings of Fact and

Conclusions of Law

Rule 52(a), M.R.Civ.P., requires district courts to “find the facts specially and state separately its conclusions of law thereon” in matters not involving a jury. “Rule 52(a) requires findings of fact which are a recordation of the essential and determining facts upon which the district court rested its conclusions of law and without which the district court's judgment would lack support.” In re Banka, 2009 MT 33, ¶ 10, 349 Mont. 193, 201 P.3d 830 (citing In re Marriage of Barron, 177 Mont. 161, 164, 580 P.2d 936, 938 (1978)). The Montana Supreme Court has also urged district courts to resolve factual issues in criminal cases by written order, in order to avoid any decisions that may prove insufficient for appellate review. State v. Stoumbaugh, 2007 MT 105, ¶ 31, 337 Mont. 147, 157 P.3d 1137; State v. Gittens, 2008 MT 55, ¶ 27, n. 2, 341 Mont. 450, 178 P.3d 91 (citing Stoumbaugh).

The Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law shall be clearly delineated as “Proposed.” Copies of the Proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law shall be provided to the judge in accordance with the procedure set forth by the judge in the final Pretrial Order or as otherwise required by the judge If no other procedure is specified, the proposed Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law shall be filed

in accordance with Rule 8, Uniform District Court Rules. The sanctions allowed in Rule 8, Montana Uniform District Court Rules may apply to a violation of this Rule.

Rule 9 - Court Security - Potentially Violent Situations; Duty of Party In both civil and criminal cases, where the attorney/party believes that a potentially violent situation may arise, that attorney/party shall notify the judicial assistant of the assigned judge sufficiently in advance so that appropriate security measures can be taken.

Rule 10 - Final Pretrial Conferences

In both civil and criminal cases, at least one of the attorneys who will conduct the trial for a party and any self-represented party shall personally attend the final pretrial conference. A substitute attorney may be allowed to represent a party at a final pretrial conference only after written approval of the Court upon a showing of good cause after written motion.

Failure to include the certification or failure to make a good faith effort to confer may result in sanctions as allowed by Rules 26(c) and 37, M.R.Civ.P.

Rule 12 - Time Allowed for Hearings and Trials The Court will assign a time limit for all hearings and trials. In a motion requesting a hearing, the attorneys and self-represented litigants shall advise the Court of the number of witnesses and the estimated length of time required for the hearing. The attorneys and self-represented litigants shall be realistic with the time estimated and requested for hearings and trials. Hearings and trials will be limited to the time set by the Court.

Rule 13 - Filing of Certificate of Service Rule 5(a), M.R.Civ.P., requires the following documents to be served: 1. Every order required by its terms to be served; 2. Every pleading subsequent to the original complaint unless the court otherwise orders because of numerous defendants; 3. Every paper relating to discovery required to be served upon a party unless the court otherwise orders; 4. Every written motion other than one which may be heard ex parte; 5. Every written notice, appearance, demand, offer of judgment, designation of record on appeal, and similar paper. Rule 5(d), M.R.Civ.P. requires that “all papers after the complaint required to be served upon a party, together with a certificate of service, shall be filed with the court within a reasonable time after service.” Rule 5(f), M.R.Civ.P, provides: “Proof of service shall be made by an affidavit of the party or the party's attorney making service, or by the certificate of the party's resident attorney making service or by an acknowledgment in writing from the party or attorney served, and such affidavit, certificate or acknowledgment shall be filed within 10 days after service. Failure to make proof of service does not affect the validity of the service.” If a party fails to file a certificate of service or proof of service for those documents specified in Rule 5(a), M.R.Civ.P., the Court will not consider the document. Rule 14 - Notice to Self-Represented Party Who Opposes a Summary Judgment

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages.

Notice to Self-Represented Party Regarding Summary Judgment Motion An opposing party has moved for summary judgment against you pursuant to Rule 56 of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. This means that the opposing party has asked the court to decide this case without a trial, based on written materials, including affidavits, submitted in support of the motion. If you do not respond to this motion by filing sworn affidavits and other papers as required by Rule 56(e) of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure or by testifying at a hearing, JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU WITHOUT A TRIAL. An affidavit is a sworn statement of fact based on personal knowledge that would be admissible in evidence at trial. In short, Rule 56 provides that you may NOT oppose summary judgment simply by relying on the allegations in your complaint or answer. Rather, you must submit evidence, such as witness statements or documents, countering the facts asserted by the opposing party and raising material issues of fact for trial. Any witness statements must be in the form of affidavits or testimony at a hearing. You may submit your own affidavit, or the affidavits of others. You may submit affidavits that were prepared specifically in response to the opposing party’s motion for summary judgment. If you do not respond to the motion for summary judgment on time with affidavits, documentary evidence or testimony at a hearing, contradicting the material facts asserted by the opposing party, the court may accept the opposing party’s factual assertions as true. Judgment may then be entered in opposing party’s favor without a trial.

Rule 15 - Mediation A. When the Court orders mediation, each party shall have a person with ultimate settlement authority attend the mediation in person and participate in the mediation in good faith. If the person who has ultimate settlement authority is a party, then the party shall personally appear at the mediation. B. During the mediation session only the party and the party’s attorney or the party appearing pro se and a person with ultimate settlement authority,who is not a party, may attend the mediation session. No member of a party’s family or any other person may attend mediation unless all parties agree to the attendance of another person. Effective July 1, 2010.

SECTION A. SCOPE OF RULES

Rule 10 - Application of Rules

The order of cases to be tried during the next jury term shall be set by the Court following the final pretrial conference, which will generally be held approximately 30-45 days prior to the start of each jury term. B. Under extraordinary circumstances, such as a Defendant being incarcerated pending trial and unable to post bail, the impending death or departure of a necessary witness, speedy trial problems, etc., either the State or a Defendant may move for a priority trial setting in advance of the next scheduled jury term, and the Court will give due consideration to such requests. C. A Defendant who enters a plea of not guilty less than 80 days prior to the next scheduled trial term will be scheduled for trial during the following jury term, unless otherwise requested by either the State or the Defendant, and it appears to the Court that investigation, discovery, and pretrial proceedings could be completed, and the parties could be prepared for trial, prior to the next scheduled jury term. D. Continuances will be granted only upon a showing of good cause. E. If a Defendant changes a not guilty plea to a guilty plea pursuant to a Plea Agreement, and the Court later rejects the Plea Agreement, the case may be scheduled for trial as soon as a trial can be fit into the Court's schedule.

Tuesday of April and October, respectively, unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

Rule 24 - Law and Motion Schedule A. Law and Motion is designed to handle routine matters which do not require extensive testimony or argument.

The Court may place the parties under oath and conduct a summary hearing, questioning the parties at their respective tables.

Rule 26 - Juror Questionnaires, Jury Service A. The Jury Commissioner will summon by letter sufficient jurors to meet the anticipated needs of the trial. Juries shall be called for a particular day and may serve in any cause scheduled for trial that day.

Jurors who are excused from service at their own request will not be exempt from further jury service during the remainder of the term. B. As soon as practicable after the list of prospective jurors has been finalized for a particular trial, the Clerk will provide counsel with a list of jurors and copies of the juror questionnaires.

Rule 27 - Nonjury Trial Settings Nonjury trials and hearings shall be scheduled throughout the year. The procedures which apply to scheduling orders as set forth in Rule 43 apply equally to jury and nonjury trials, except that trial settings for nonjury trials will be set forth in the initial scheduling order, whereas trial settings for jury trial will not be established until the final pretrial conference.

FILES, PLEADINGS, AND DISCOVERY

The title of all pleadings must be complete, and the complete title shall also be contained in the footer at the bottom of each page. For example, rather than titling a pleading, “Affidavit,” it should be titled “Affidavit of John Smith in Support of Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment.” F. Line 1 of the first page of proposed Orders, Decrees, or Judgments presented for the Judge’s signature should not contain the name and address of the attorney who is submitting the document for the Court’s consideration. G. Each claim or cause of action contained in a Complaint should be identified as a separate count and should be labeled in such a manner that the nature of the claim is clear. For example: COUNT I.BREACH OF CONTRACT; COUNT II.NEGLIGENCE. H. A claim which alleges statutory violations must specify which statute or statutes are alleged to have been violated. It is not sufficient to refer generally to an entire Act, such as the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act.

The Clerk may refuse to file documents which do not conform to these rules.

Rule 33 - Exhibits

public museum for preservation. If the exhibit has more than nominal value, it shall be sold and the proceeds credited to the county general fund.

Rule 34 - Depositions

A. Pursuant to UDCR Rule 4, depositions and other forms of discovery shall not be routinely filed. When a motion or response is filed which makes reference to deposition testimony, the party filing the motion or response shall submit a copy of the relevant deposition testimony with the motion or response. B. An attorney who instructs a witness not to answer a question during a deposition may be required to pay the cost of retaking the deposition if the question is later determined by the Court to have been proper. An attorney who engages in bullying, coaching, interrupting, or obstructing during a deposition may be required to pay the cost of retaking the deposition if the offending tactics interfere with the deposition.

Rule 35 - Interrogatories, Discovery Requests

A. As with depositions, interrogatories and other types of written discovery shall not be routinely filed. Whenever a motion or response is filed which makes reference to interrogatory answers or other written discovery requests or responses, the party filing the motion or response shall submit the relevant interrogatory answers or discovery requests or responses with the motion or response.

E. Motions to compel responses to written discovery or for protective orders to limit or deny certain discovery will not be considered by the Court unless the motion sets forth the efforts made by the parties to resolve their differences between themselves. It should rarely be necessary for the Court to referee discovery disputes. Sanctions will be considered whenever it appears that a party is obstructing the discovery process and there is not a reasonable basis to believe the party’s position is well founded in the law.

Rule 36 - Telefax Filings Telefax filings are unnecessary unless there is a deadline problem, and they are discouraged as they create extra work for the Clerk of Court.s staff. If a document is telefaxed to the Clerk of Court for filing, the following procedure shall be observed: A. The Clerk shall stamp the document to show the date and time of its receipt. If a document is received after hours or on a weekend or holiday, it shall be considered to have been received at 8:00 a.m. on the first business day thereafter. B. On the same day the fax is sent, the sender shall mail the original document to the Clerk of Court by first class mail. The Clerk shall file the original (mailed) document, showing the date and time of filing as the date and time the telefax was received. C. Upon receipt by the Clerk of the mailed document, the Clerk shall remove the faxed copy from the Court file, except for the first page which documents the date and time of the fax filing. D.

SECTION D. PRETRIAL AND POST- TRIAL PROCEEDINGS -CIVIL

Rule 40 - Motions and Briefs

A. When filing of a motion for leave to file an Amended Complaint or Answer or other pleading requiring leave of the Court to file, the moving party shall mail or deliver the original of the proposed pleading to the Clerk to be lodged in the file. If leave to file is granted, the Clerk will then file the original pleading that was previously lodged. B. Deadlines for filing briefs in support of and opposition to motions are governed by UDCR Rule 2. C. Unless waived by the parties, oral argument is mandatory for all Rule 56 motions. Parties are encouraged to waive oral argument whenever they believe oral argument would add nothing to the arguments presented in the briefs. The Court may request oral argument even if it has been waived by the parties. D. When a motion has been fully briefed, the file is brought to the Judge for decision or to schedule oral argument on the motion. If a motion requires a hearing and the parties have not received an order setting the oral argument within 10 days after the final brief has been filed, either party may call the Court Administrator and request that the hearing be scheduled. E. Motions and briefs in support thereof may be combined in the same document. When pleadings are combined, the title and footer should contain the complete name of the combined document. F. If a party wishes the Court to take immediate action on a motion, the motion should state that opposing counsel has been contacted and has no objection to the motion. When filing a motion to which the other party does not object and which requires immediate action, counsel should so advise the Clerk’s office, in order that the file can be immediately brought to the Court’s attention. If the other party objects, or if there is no indication whether the other party objects, the file will not be brought to the Court’s attention until an answer brief has been filed or the time for doing so has expired. G. All motions should be accompanied by a separate proposed order. Motions and orders should not be combined in the same document, as the pleading cannot be filed until the order is signed.

Rule 41 - Service of Process and Papers A. Whenever personal service of a pleading is required, the party who caused the service to be performed shall immediately file the proof of service as soon as it is returned by the process server. B. Whenever the Clerk is required to mail copies of documents to parties or counsel, the party who is making such service necessary shall furnish stamped envelopes to the Clerk, addressed to the parties who must be served.

Rule 42 - Scheduling on Motions

and

Continuing Hearings

A. Whenever possible, opposing counsel should be contacted before a hearing on a motion is scheduled. If counsel cannot agree upon a hearing date, the hearing may be scheduled for Law and Motion two Mondays or more after the motion is filed. B. Hearings on motions may be continued by the Court on its own initiative. The parties may stipulate to continue a hearing until a later Law and Motion date, or any party may file a written motion requesting a continuance. All such motions to continue must be in writing, set forth the reason for such continuance, and state whether or not the opposing party concurs with the continuance.

Rule 43 - Scheduling Orders, Time Limitations A. After all Defendants have answered, the Court will enter a scheduling order setting forth the following deadlines: 1. The date for any responsive pleadings by any party. 2. The date by which witnesses (expert and non-expert) must be identified. 3. The deadline for completion of discovery. 4. The deadline for filing and arguing pretrial motions.

5. The deadline for participating in a settlement conference or mediation conference. 6. The date for pre-trial conference. 7. For nonjury trials, the trial date. B. Because of the way the Court schedules jury trials, extensions of intermediate deadlines frequently means the trial will need to be moved back to the next term. C. When a jury trial has been demanded, the exact trial setting will be established at the pretrial conference. Counsel will be expected to advise the Court at the pretrial conference of the anticipated length of trial, any dates during the term when they will be unavailable, and whether any unique circumstances exist which require a priority trial setting or a date certain trial setting. D. The Court may impose whatever time restrictions it deems appropriate according to the needs and circumstances of the particular case. E. Civil jury trials are generally scheduled in five day blocks. If a trial is anticipated to require more than five days to try, the parties should advise the Court of that fact as early in the proceedings as possible so a special block of time can be set aside for the trial.

Rule 44 - Pretrial Conference, Pretrial Order A. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, a pretrial conference shall be held in all contested civil cases. B. The pretrial order is more than a mere formality. Failure to give adequate attention to the pretrial order can create problems, both at trial and in an appeal. Counsel are expected to comply with UDCR Rule 5 in regard to the preparation of a pretrial order.

Rule 45 - Briefs A. All briefs shall be filed with the Clerk, who shall stamp the date of filing on the brief and deliver all briefs on the pending motion or issue to the Judge as soon as all answer and reply briefs have been filed or the time has expired for doing so. B. Briefs shall be concise and to the point, but as thorough as the complexities of the issues demand. It is not necessary to attach photocopies of cited cases to a brief, unless the citation is from a jurisdiction whose reports are not readily available. C. Rambling, verbose, inflammatory, or unintelligible briefs or pleadings may be ordered stricken by the Court.

Rule 46 - Motions in Limine

The deadline for filing motions in limine shall be governed by the Court’s scheduling order as it applies to the filing of motions generally. When, however, counsel could not have anticipated the circumstances giving rise to such motion prior to the motion deadline, the Court will consider motions in limine at any stage of a trial.

Rule 47 - Settlement Conferences In all nonjury DV (civil) and all DR (domestic relations) cases, the Scheduling Order will contain a requirement that counsel and their clients must meet in a face to face settlement conference in the jury room in an effort to settle the case without the necessity of a trial. In such cases, the following procedure shall be followed: A. Counsel shall consult among themselves and determine a date and time for the settlement conference, and one of them shall be appointed to contact the Court Administrator (293-8120) to reserve the jury room. B. Counsel and their clients must attend the settlement conference in person and engage in a good faith effort to resolve the dispute. All parties necessary to effect a settlement shall attend the settlement conference. C. At the conclusion of the settlement conference, one of the counsel shall notify the Court Administrator of the results of the settlement conference. D. Nothing that is said or done at the settlement conference may be used as evidence in any subsequent proceeding. E. Failure to participate in a settlement conference may result in the Court vacating the trial and rescheduling it after the settlement conference has been held.

Rule 48 - Mediation Conferences The parties may request, or the Court on its own initiative may order, a mediation conference in any case. A mediation conference is a settlement conference presided over by a mediator. When a mediation conference is ordered, the following procedure shall be followed: A. The parties shall agree upon a mediator, or if they are unable to do so, the Court will appoint one.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

may authorize the Court Administrator to use the Judge’s signature stamp on documents requiring immediate attention by the Court. It shall be necessary to secure the Judge’s authorization on every occasion before his signature stamp is used, and the signature stamp shall only be used when it is not feasible to wait until the Judge returns to the jurisdiction to personally sign the document.

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages. B. If a mediation conference is ordered, the parties must cooperate and participate fully in the process. Unless the parties and the mediator concur, or the Court authorizes in writing, all parties and agents necessary to effect a settlement must personally attend any mediation conference. C. No later than five days prior to the mediation conference, the parties must submit a confidential settlement memorandum to the mediator, setting forth all relevant matters that pertain to issues of liability and damages, as well as any unique issues or problems raised in the case. The memorandum will be confidential and will not be shared with the opposing party or the Court. D. The mediator shall file a report with the Court within five days after the settlement conference, advising the Court whether or not the parties cooperated in the mediation conference and whether or not a settlement was achieved. E. Unless the Court orders otherwise, any expenses related to a Court-ordered settlement conference will be shared equally by the parties. F. Nothing that is said or done at the mediation conference may be used as evidence in any subsequent proceeding.

Rule 49 - Proposed Findings sions of Law and Judgements

Fact, Conclu-

In all matters in which the Court must enter Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, at least five days prior to the scheduled trial or hearing, the parties shall file serve proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law. Failure to file proposed findings of fact and conclusions of law in a timely manner shall be cause for appropriate sanction including removal of the case from trial calendar, dismissal or granting of a judgment, precluding the offending party from presenting evidence or objecting to evidence submitted by the other party, or such other action as the Court deems appropriate. See, UDCR Rule 8. Leave to file post-trial amended and supplemental findings of fact and conclusions of law will not be freely granted. SECTION E. PRETRIAL AND POST-TRIAL PROCEEDINGS-CRIMINAL

Rule 50 - Generally Whenever a Defendant is addressed by the Court or wishes to address the Court, he or she shall rise and speak or respond in an appropriately respectful manner.

Rule 51 - Arraignments A. Prior to appearing in Court for an arraignment, a Defendant shall have reviewed the Information with his attorney. If the Defendant will be entering a plea of not guilty, he or she shall sign a document entitled, “Acknowledgment of Rights and Plea of Not Guilty.” At the arraignment, the Court will determine if the information contained in the aforementioned document is true and correct, and if so, the Court will accept the plea and enter a scheduling order. B. If a Defendant intends to enter a plea of guilty at his or her arraignment, the same procedure described above shall be followed, except the Defendant shall sign a document titled, “Acknowledgment of Rights, Waiver, and Plea of Guilty.” If the Court accepts the Defendant’s plea, the matter will be set for sentencing as discussed below. C. If a Defendant has previously entered a plea of not guilty and wishes to change his or her plea, the Defendant shall sign a document entitled, “Acknowledgment of Rights, Waiver, and Change of Plea.” If the Court accepts the Defendant’s change of plea, the matter will be set for sentencing. D. Before accepting a plea of guilty, the Court will require that the necessary elements of the offense are established by sworn testimony from the Defendant. It will be the Defendant’s attorney’s responsibility to elicit the testimony necessary to satisfy the Court that the elements of the crime have been satisfied. If the Court is not satisfied that the necessary elements of the offense have been established after questioning by Defendant’s attorney, the Court may question the Defendant regarding the offense. E. If the Court is not satisfied that the Defendant is guilty of the crime or is not entering the plea voluntarily, the plea will not be accepted, and the case will be set for trial. F. Alford pleas will be accepted only in instances where the Defendant legitimately is unable to recall his or her actions (due to intoxication or otherwise), or the Defendant.s mental state at the time of the commission of the alleged offense is in question, but the Defendant nevertheless believes that he or she is guilty of the offense charged. Alford pleas will

not be accepted simply to permit a Defendant to escape an acknowledgment of wrongdoing. If a Defendant honestly believes he or she did not commit the offense, an Alford plea is not appropriate.

Rule 52 - Scheduling Orders in Criminal Cases

If a Defendant pleads not guilty at the arraignment, the Court will enter a scheduling order setting forth the following deadlines: 1. A date for the completion of discovery. 2. Deadline by which motions are to be filed and noticed for hearing. 3. Omnibus hearing date. 4. Final Pretrial Conference date.

Rule 53 - Omnibus Hearings A. In all criminal cases in which a not guilty plea has been entered, an omnibus hearing will be conducted at a date and time specified by the Court. Omnibus hearings are generally held the last Tuesday of each month. B. Prior to the omnibus hearing, counsel shall complete and sign an Omnibus Hearing Disclosure Statement, which shall be presented to the Judge or special master at the omnibus hearing. C. The Defendant is not required to be present at the omnibus hearing unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

Rule 54 - Final Pretrial Conference A. A final pretrial conference will be held in all criminal cases that remain scheduled for trial after the omnibus hearing. The final trial calendar will be established after pretrial conferences have been conducted in all pending criminal cases to be scheduled for trial during that term. B. The Defendant is required to be present at the final pretrial conference unless otherwise ordered by the Court.

Rule 55 - Sentencing, Plea Agreements

A. In most cases where there has been a conviction or a plea of guilty, a presentence investigation will be ordered from the Adult Parole and Probation Office. A presentence investigation may be waived in extraordinary circumstances. B. Plea Agreements, and the Court’s acceptance of same, shall be governed by § 46-12-211, MCA. SECTION F. TRIAL PROCEDURES

Rule 60 - Six-Person Juries

Pursuant to § 3-15-106, MCA, in all civil actions where the relief sought is less than $10,000.00, and a jury trial has been demanded, the jury shall consist of six persons. In all other civil cases, the parties may stipulate to six person juries.

Rule 61 - Proposed Jury Instructions and Verdicts A. Upon request, the Court will provide any pattern jury instruction from the MPI or MCJI pattern jury instruction books. When submitting proposed jury instructions, counsel shall, at the same time, indicate which pattern instructions, if any, they wish the Court to give. B. All proposed jury instructions and verdict forms must be delivered to the Court in duplicate (an original and one copy), and a copy served upon all opposing parties, no later than five days prior to the scheduled trial. Thereafter, additional instructions may be allowed in the Court's discretion according to the needs of the case. C. Instructions to the jury shall be on 8½” x 11" paper. Copies of the jury instructions (but not the original) must contain a citation of authorities at the bottom of the instruction as well as an indication of the party on whose behalf the instruction is requested, and the number of the proposed instruction. D. Proposed verdict forms must be submitted by each party at the same time they submit their proposed jury instructions.

Rule 62 - Note Taking by Jurors Jurors will be permitted to take notes unless the Court orders otherwise. No juror shall be required to take notes. Jurors’ notes shall be taken in a notebook that can be closed, and the juror’s numbers shall be placed on the outside cover of the notebook. Jurors’ notebooks shall be collected by the bailiff at the end of each court day and returned to the jurors at the beginning of the next day. Jurors shall be allowed to have their notes during their deliberations.

Note: contact the local District Court for any exhibits or forms referred to within these pages.

A. The length of voir dire examination shall not exceed 90 minutes per side without prior leave of Court. B. Except by permission of the Court, only one attorney for each party will be permitted to question the prospective jurors on voir dire. C. The only proper purpose of voir dire is to select a panel which will fairly and impartially hear the evidence presented and render a just verdict. The Court will discourage counsel from: 1. Asking questions of an individual juror that are susceptible of being asked collectively. 2. Asking questions covered by and answered in the juror questionnaire. 3. Repeating questions that have been asked and answered. 4. Using voir dire for the purpose of attempting to instruct the jury on the law. 5. Using voir dire for the purpose of arguing the case. 6. Asking a juror what his/her verdict might be under any hypothetical situation, based upon expected evidence or otherwise.

Rule 64 - Opening Statements Counsel are reminded that opening statements are not the time to make arguments to the jury. The purpose of opening statements is to acquaint the jury with the facts as the attorneys believe the evidence will prove them to be.

Rule 65 - Examination of Witnesses

A. Except by permission of the Court, only one attorney on each side will be permitted to examine or cross-examine the same witness. Only the attorney who examines or cross-examines a witness will be permitted to object to questions put to that witness. B.

Rule 66 - Discharge of Witnesses

A party who has subpoenaed a witness may discharge that witness before his testimony only by leave of the Court. If the adverse party desires such witness to remain, he must procure the witness’s further attendance by subpoena or order of the Court and shall pay the witness’s subsequent fees.

Rule 67 - Closing Arguments The Court may limit the amount of time available for closing arguments according to the needs of the case. Plaintiff.s final closing argument is for the purpose of rebutting the arguments of opposing counsel and may not be used to introduce new matters. Counsel shall observe the following rules during closing arguments: 1. Counsel may not misstate the evidence or the law. 2. Counsel may not argue facts that are not in evidence. 3. Counsel may not state their personal belief as to the justice of their cause. 4. Counsel may not personally vouch for the credibility of any witness. 5. Counsel may not appeal to the passions or prejudices of the jury. 6. Counsel may not suggest the presence or absence of insurance. SECTION G. DISSOLUTIONS

Rule 70 - Other Rules Applicable, Generally A. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Court’s procedural rules generally applicable to civil matters will also apply to dissolution actions. B. Counsel are reminded that contested dissolution proceedings are emotional disputes, and if not handled with appropriate delicacy, they can leave permanent scars on litigants, and more important, on their children. In the heat of battle divorce clients may demand that their counsel take a position or employ a tactic that will work to the disadvantage of that client. Lawyers are expected to maintain client control and not pursue a “scorched earth” policy merely because their client is demanding such an approach.

Rule 71 - Financial Affidavits

A. In all dissolution actions in which child support or maintenance are issues, a financial affidavit must be completed and filed by the Petitioner at the time of filing the Petition or as soon thereafter as practicable. A copy of Petitioner’s financial affidavit must be served upon the Respon-

dent, who must in turn file a completed financial affidavit, with a copy to Petitioner, within 20 days thereafter. Financial affidavit forms may be obtained from the Clerk of Court. B. After filing the required financial affidavits, counsel shall calculate the nonresidential parent.s child support obligation in accordance with the Montana Child Support Guidelines and shall file a copy of a proposed interim child support order, together with a copy of the child support worksheet by which the child support figure was derived. If opposing counsel disagrees with the child support figure thus calculated, he or she may file his or her own child support worksheet and proposed interim child support order. It is important that adequate child support payments be commenced as soon as possible after a separation.

Rule 72 - Temporary Child Support A. The welfare of the parties’ children is of paramount importance. Accordingly, parties will be expected to cooperate in making arrangements for the voluntary payment of temporary child support until a child support order can be entered. B. If the parties are unable to agree upon the amount of temporary child support, the Court will entertain an emergency petition for a temporary child support order.

Rule 73-Documents to be Filed in Dissolution Cases A. Parties are reminded of the duty to file a preliminary disclosure of assets and liabilities pursuant to § 40-4-252, MCA, and to file a final disclosure no later than 45 days before the first assigned trial date pursuant to § 40-4-253, MCA. B. A Proposed Parenting Plan, making provision for the items recited in § 40-4-234, MCA.

Rule 74 - Payment of Child Support A. Except in cases where child support is paid through automatic withholding, child support payments must be mailed to the residential parent in care of the Clerk of Court at the following address: Clerk of District Court Child Support Department 512 California Avenue Libby, MT 59923 B. Child support payments shall be made payable to the residential parent. C. Whenever a party is receiving AFDC or CSED services, counsel are reminded that § 40-5-201, MCA, et seq. contains provisions that should be reviewed with your client. SECTION H: ATTORNEYS

No attorney may withdraw from a case, civil or criminal, except with consent of the client or by leave of Court after notice served on the parties and opposing counsel. See § 37-61-404, MCA and UDCR Rule 10. C. Until six months after the time for appeal from a final judgment or decree, unless earlier relieved, it shall be presumed that counsel of record continue to represent the parties. Thereafter, service upon a party must be accomplished in accordance with Rule 4(D) M.R.Civ.P., provided, however, that a courtesy copy of any pleading to be served upon a formerly represented party should be mailed to the party's last counsel of record.

Rule 81 - Attorney Fees Attorney fees should not be requested unless authorized by statute, case law, or contract. In such cases, the authority for requesting an award of attorney fees should be specified. When attorney fees are recoverable and are awarded, the following procedure shall be followed: A. If an award of attorney fees is justified under the law and deemed appropriate by the Court, the Court will recite in its Judgment, Order, or Decree that attorney fees are awarded, and the party to whom attorney fees are awarded must file an affidavit in support of the requested fee within 10 days. If no such affidavit is filed within 10 days, or there is no request for additional time in which to file the affidavit (also within 10 days), the attorney fee award shall be deemed to be waived. B. Within 10 days after service of the affidavit in support of the attorney fee claim, the opposing party may file a written objection, setting

If no objection is filed within 10 days, or there is no request for additional time in which to file same (also within 10 days), any objection to the claimed fee shall be deemed to be waived. C. If a written objection to a claimed fee is filed within the time provided, the Court will review the claim and objection and determine whether it believes a hearing on the claim and objection is necessary. If the Court determines that no hearing is necessary, the Court will issue a ruling awarding fees in the amount it deems to be appropriate. The Court may schedule a hearing on attorney fees on its own initiative, and either party may request a hearing when they file their claim or objection, although the Court reserves the right to deny such request.

Rule 82 - Court Appointed Counsel, Compensation and Expenses

Whenever it is necessary for the Court to appoint legal counsel outside of the indigent defense contract, the following rules shall apply: A. Fees shall be billed at the rate of $50 per hour, unless otherwise ordered by the Court. B. Counsel shall maintain time records contemporaneous with the work performed, and at the end of each month, counsel shall submit a claim to the Court Administrator, detailing whatever work has been performed on behalf of the client during the preceding month. C. Billing statements shall be rounded off to the nearest tenth of an hour. D. Claims for legal work performed during the month of June must be submitted before June 25th, as that is the last date on which claims for the fiscal year can be processed. Claims submitted for a fiscal year after that date are not reimbursable by the State, and will therefore not be paid. E. Any expense which exceeds $100.00 requires prior approval from the Court.

Rule 33 - Parenting and Visitation Guidelines

A powerful cause of stress, suffering, and maladjustment in children of divorce is not simply the divorce itself, but continuing conflict between the parents before, during and after the divorce. To minimize conflict over the children, the parents should agree on a parenting arrangement that is most conducive to the children having frequent and meaningful contact with both parents with as little conflict as possible. When parents' maturity, personality and communication skills are adequate, the ideal arrangement is reasonable visitation upon reasonable notice, since that provides the greatest flexibility. The next best arrangement is a detailed visitation agreement made by the parents to fit their particular needs and, more importantly, the needs of the children. If the parents are unable to agree, however, the following guidelines will help the parents in knowing what the presiding judge in the Twenty-First Judicial District believes are generally reasonable, unless special circumstances require a different arrangement. (See Paragraph 1.17 below.) Unless these guidelines are incorporated in a court order, they are not compulsory rules, only a general direction for parents. In the event visitation becomes an issue in court, the judge reserves the right to set whatever visitation schedule best meets the needs of the children in that case. 1. GENERAL RULES Parents should always avoid speaking negatively about the other and should firmly discourage such conduct by relatives or friends. In fact, the parents should speak in positive terms about the other parent in the presence of the children. Each parent should encourage the children to respect the other. Children should never be used by one parent to spy on the other. The basic rules of conduct and discipline established by the custodial parent should be the base line standard for both parents and any step-parents, and consistently enforced by all, so that the children do not receive mixed signals. Children will benefit from continued contact with all relatives and family friends on both sides of the family for whom they feel affection. Such relationships should be protected and encouraged. But relatives, like, parents, need to avoid being critical of either parent in front of the children. Parents should have their children maintain ties with both the maternal and paternal relatives. In Montana grandparents have a legal right to reasonable visitation with their grandchildren, if it is in their best interests. Usually the children will visit with the paternal relatives during times the children are with their father and with the maternal relatives during times they are with their mother. In cases where both parents resided in the same community at the time of separation, and then one parent left the area, thus changing the visitation pattern, the court will consider imposing the travel costs for the children necessary to facilitate future visits on the parent who moved. The court will also consider other factors, however, such as the economic circumstances of the parents and the reasons prompting the move. 1.1 Parental Communication. Parents should always keep each other advised of their home and work addresses and telephone numbers. As far as possible, all communication concerning the children shall be conducted between the parents themselves in person, or by telephone at their residences and not at their places of employment. 1.2 Grade Reports and Medical Information. The custodial parent shall provide the noncustodial parent with grade reports and notices from school as they are received and shall permit the noncustodial parent to communicate concerning the child directly with the school and with the children's doctors and other professionals outside the presence of the custodial parent. Each parent shall immediately notify the other of any medical emergencies or serious illnesses of the children. The custodial parent shall notify the noncustodial parent of all school or other events (like Church or Scouts) involving parental participation. If the child is taking medications, the custodial parent shall provide a sufficient amount and appropriate instructions. 1.3 Visitation Clothing. The custodial parent shall send an appropriate supply of children's clothing with them, which shall be returned clean (when reasonably possible), with the children, by the noncustodial parent. The noncustodial parent shall advise, as far in advance as possible, of any special activities so that the appropriate clothing may be sent.

Infants (children under eighteen months of age) and toddlers (eighteen months to three years) have a great need for continuous contact with the primary caretaker who provides a sense of security, nurturing and predictability. Generally overnight visits for infants and toddlers are not recommended unless the noncustodial parent is very closely attached to the child and is able to provide primary care. Older preschool age children (three to five) are able to tolerate limited separations from the primary caretaker. The following guidelines for children under age five are designed to take into account the child's developmental milestones as a basis for visitation. Since children mature at different rates these may need to be adjusted to fit the child's unique circumstances. These guidelines may not apply to those instances where the parents are truly sharing equally all the caretaking responsibilities for the child and the child is equally attached to both parents. Yet in the majority of situations where the custodial parent has been the primary caretaker and the noncustodial parent has maintained a continuous relationship with the child but has not shared equally in child caretaking the following guidelines should generally apply: A. Infants - Birth to Six Months. Alternate parenting plans: (1) Three two-hour visits per week, with one weekend day for six hours; or (2) Three two-hour visits per week, with one overnight on a weekend for no longer than a twelve hour period, if the child is not breast feeding and the noncustodial parent is capable of providing primary care. B. Infants - Six to Eighteen Months. Alternate parenting plans: (1) Three, three-hour visits per week with one weekend day for six hours; or (2) Same as (1), but with one overnight not to exceed twelve hours, if the child is not breast feeding and the noncustodial parent is capable of providing primary care; or (3) Child spends time in alternate homes, but spends significantly more time at one of them and no more than two twelve-hour overnights per week at the other. This arrangement should be considered only for mature, adaptable children and very cooperative parents. C. Toddlers - Eighteen to Thirty-Six Months: Alternate parenting plans: (1) The noncustodial parent has the child up to three times per week for a few hours on each visit, on a predictable schedule; or (2) Same as (1) but with one overnight per week; or (3) Child spends time in alternate homes, but with more time in one than the other with two or three overnights spaced regularly throughout the week. This requires an adaptable child and cooperative parents. D. Preschoolers - Three to Five Years Old. Alternate parenting plans: (1) One overnight visit (i.e. Saturday morning to Sunday evening) on alternate weekends and one midweek visit with the child returning to the custodial parent's home at least one-half hour before bedtime; or (2) Two or three nights at one home, spaced throughout the week, the remaining time at the other home. In addition, for preschoolers, a vacation of no longer than two weeks with the noncustodial parent. E. Children in Day Care. In families where a child has been in day care prior to the parental separation, the child may be able to tolerate flexible visits earlier because the child is more accustomed to separations from both parents. The noncustodial parent who exercises visitation of a child under age five should not during the visits place the child with a baby-sitter or day care provider. If the noncustodial parent cannot be with the child personally, the child should be returned to the custodial parent. Visiting for short periods with relatives may be appropriate, if the relatives are not merely serving as baby-sitters. 1.15 Visitation with Adolescents. Within reason the parents should honestly and fairly consider their teenager's wishes on visitation. Neither parent should attempt to pressure their teenager to make a visitation decision adverse to the other parent. Teenagers should explain the reasons for their wishes directly to the affected parent, without intervention by the other parent. 1.16 Day Care Providers. When parents reside in the same community, they should use the same day care provider. To the extent possible the parents should rely on each other to care for the children when the other parent is unavailable. 1.17 Special Circumstances. A. Child Abuse. When child abuse has been established and a continuing danger is shown to exist, all visitation should cease or only be allowed under supervision, depending on the circumstances. Court intervention is usually required in child abuse cases. B. Spouse Abuse. Witnessing spouse abuse has long-term, emotion-

1.4 Withholding Support or Visitation. Neither visitation nor child support is to be withheld because of either parent's failure to comply with a court order. Only the court may enter sanctions for non compliance. Children have a right both to support and visitation, neither of which is dependent upon the other. In other words, no support does not mean no visitation and no visitation does not mean no support. If there is a violation of either a visitation or a support order, the exclusive remedy is to apply to the court for appropriate sanctions. 1.5 Adjustments in This Visitation Schedule. Although this is a specific schedule, the parties are expected to fairly modify visitation when family necessities, illnesses or commitments reasonably so require. The requesting parent shall act in good faith and give as much notice as circumstances permit. 1.6 Custodial Parent's Vacation. Unless otherwise specified in a court order or agreed by the parties, the custodial parent is entitled to a vacation with the children for a reasonable period of time, usually equal to the vacation time the noncustodial parent takes with the children. The custodial parent should plan a vacation during the time when the noncustodial is not exercising extended visitation. 1.7 Insurance Forms. The parent who has medical insurance coverage on the children shall supply, as applicable, insurance forms and a list of insurer approved or HMO qualified health care providers in the area where the other parent is residing. A parent who, except in an emergency, takes the children to a doctor, dentist or other provider not so approved or qualified should pay the additional cost thus created. However, when there is a change in insurance which requires a change in medical care providers and a child has a chronic illness, thoughtful consideration should be given by the parties to what is more important: allowing the child to remain with the original provider or the economic consequences of changing. When there is an obligation to pay medical expenses, the parent responsible therefor shall be promptly furnished with the bill by the other. The parents shall cooperate in submitting bills to the appropriate insurance carrier. Thereafter, the parent responsible for paying the balance of the bill shall make arrangements directly with the health care provider and shall inform the other parent of such arrangements. Insurance refunds should be promptly turned over to the parent who paid the bill for which the refund was paid. 1.8 Child Support Abatement. Unless a court order otherwise provides, support shall not abate during any visitation period. 1.9 Missed Visitation. When a scheduled visitation cannot occur due to events beyond either parents' control, such as illness of the parent exercising visitation or the child, a mutually agreeable substituted visitation date shall be arranged, as quickly as possible. Each parent shall timely advise the other when a particular visitation cannot be exercised. Missed visitation should not be unreasonably accumulated. 1.10 Visitation a Shared Experience. Because it is intended that visitation be a shared experience between siblings and, unless these Guidelines, a court order, or circumstances, such as age, illness, or the particular event, suggest otherwise, all of the children shall participate in any particular visitation. 1.11 Telephone Communication. Telephone calls between parent and child shall be liberally permitted at reasonable hours and at the expense of the calling parent. The custodial parent may call the children at reasonable hours during those periods the children are on visitation. The children may, of course, call either parent, though at reasonable hours, frequencies and at the cost of the parent called if it is a long distance call. During long vacations the parent with whom the child is on vacation is only required to make the child available to telephone calls every five days. At all other times the parent the child is with shall not refuse to answer the phone or turn off the phone in order to deny the other parent telephone contact. If a parent uses an answering machine, messages left on the machine for the child should be returned. Parents should agree on a specified time for calls to the children so that the children will be made available. 1.12 Mail Contact. Parents have an unrestricted right to send cards, letters and packages to their children. The children also have the same right with their parents. Neither parent should interfere with this right. 1.13 Privacy of Residence. A parent may not enter the residence of the other except by express invitation of the resident parent, regardless of whether a parent retains a property interest in the residence of the other. Accordingly, the children shall be picked up and returned to the front entrance of the appropriate residence. The parent dropping the children off should not leave until the children are safely inside. Parents should refrain from surprise visits to the other parent's home. A parent's time with the children is their own, and the children's time with that parent

Furthermore, a person who loses control and acts impulsively with a spouse, may be capable of doing so with children as well. Depending on the nature of the spouse abuse and when it occurred, the court may require an abusive spouse to successfully complete appropriate counseling before being permitted unsupervised visitation. C. Substance Abuse. Visitation should not occur when a noncustodial parent is abusing drugs/alcohol. D. Long Interruption of Contact. In those situations where the noncustodial parent has not had an ongoing relationship for an extended period, visitation should begin with brief visits and a very gradual transition to the visitation in these guidelines. E. Kidnapping/Threats. Noncustodial parents who have kidnapped or hidden the children or threatened to do so should have no visitation or only supervised visits. F. Breast Feeding Child. Forcibly weaning a child, whether breast feeding or bottle feeding, during the upheaval of parental separation is not appropriate for the physical health or emotional well-being of the child. Until weaning has occurred without forcing, a nursing infant should have visits of only a few hours each. A parent should not use breast feeding beyond the normal weaning age as a means to deprive the other parent of visitation. G. A Parent's New Relationship. Parents should be sensitive to the danger of exposing the children too quickly to new relationships while they are still adjusting to the trauma of their parent's separation and divorce. H. Religious Holidays and Native American Ceremonies. Parents should respect their children's needs to be raised in their faith and in keeping with their cultural heritage and cooperate with each other on visitation to achieve these goals. These goals should not be used to deprive the noncustodial parent of visitation. I. Other. The court will limit or deny visitation to noncustodial parents who show neglectful, impulsive, immoral, criminal, assaultive or risk-taking behavior with or in the presence of the children. 2. VISITATION OF CHILDREN OVER AGE FIVE WHEN THERE IS SOLE CUSTODY OR PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY AND PARENTS RESIDE NO MORE THAN 200 MILES APART 2.1 Weekends. Alternate weekends from Friday at 5:30 P.M. to Sunday at 7 P.M.; the starting and ending times may change to fit the parents' schedules. Or an equivalent period of time if the visiting parent is not available on weekends and the child does not miss school. In addition, if time and distance allow, one or two midweek visits of two to three hours. All transportation for the midweek visits are the responsibility of the visiting parent. 2.2 Mother's Day Father's Day. The alternate weekends will be shifted, exchanged or arranged so that the children are with their mother each Mother's Day weekend and with their father each Father's Day weekend. Conflicts between these special weekends and regular visitation shall be resolved pursuant to Paragraph 1.9. 2.3 Extended Visitation. One half of the school summer vacation. At the option of the noncustodial parent, the time may be consecutive or it may be split into two blocks of time. If the child goes to summer school and it is impossible for the noncustodial parent to schedule this visitation time other than during summer school, that parent may elect to take the time when the child is in summer school and transport the child to the summer school session at the child's school or an equivalent summer school session in the noncustodial parent's community. 2.4 Winter (Christmas) Vacation. One half the school winter vacation, a period which begins the evening the child is released from school and continues to the evening of the day before the child will return to school. If the parents cannot agree on the division of this period, the noncustodial parent shall have the first half in even number years. If the parents live in the same community, in those years when Christmas does not fall in a parent's week, that parent shall have from noon to 9 P.M. on Christmas Day. For toddlers and preschool age children, when the parents live in the same community, the parents should alternate each year Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so that the children spend equal time with each parent during this holiday period. 2.5 Holidays. Parents shall alternate the following holiday weekends: Easter, Memorial Day, the 4th of July, Labor Day and Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving will begin on Wednesday evening and end on Sunday evening; Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends will begin on Friday and end on Monday evening; Easter weekend will begin on Thursday evening and end on Sunday evening: while the 4th of July, when it does not fall on a weekend, shall include the weekend closest to the 4th. Holiday

156 ÂŠ2011 Lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Deskbook & Directory

weekends begin at 5:30 P.M. and end at 7 P.M. on the appropriate days. 2.6. Children's Birthdays. Like the holidays, a child's birthday shall be alternated annually between the parents. If the birthday falls on a weekend, it shall extend to the full weekend, and any resulting conflict with regular visitation shall be resolved pursuant to Paragraph 1.9. If the birthday falls on a weekday, it shall be celebrated from 3 P.M. to 9 P.M. (or so much of that period as the noncustodial parent elects to use). 2.7. Parents' Birthdays. The children should spend the day with the parent who is celebrating their birthday, unless it interferes with a noncustodial parent's extended visitation during vacation. 2.8. Conflicts Between Regular and Holiday Weekends. When there is a conflict between a holiday weekend and the regular weekend visitation, the holiday takes precedence. Thus, if the noncustodial parent misses a regular weekend because it is the custodial parent's holiday, the regular alternating visitation schedule will resume following the holiday. If the noncustodial parent receives two consecutive weekends because of a holiday, regular alternating visitation will resume the following weekend with the custodial parent. The parents should agree to make up missed weekends due to holiday conflicts. 2.9. Visitation Before and During Vacations. There will be no visitation the weekend(s) before the beginning of the noncustodial parent's summer vacation visitation period(s), regardless of whose weekend it may be. Similarly, that parent's alternating weekend visitation(s) shall resume the second weekend after each period of summer vacation that year. Weekend visitation "missed" during the summer vacation period will not be "made up." During any extended summer visitation of more than three consecutive weeks, it will be the noncustodial parent's duty to arrange, for a time mutually convenient, a 48 hour continuous period of visitation for the custodial parent unless impracticable because of distance. 2.10. Notice of Canceled Visitation. Whenever possible, the noncustodial parent shall give a minimum of three days notice of intent not to exercise all or part of the scheduled visitation. When such notice is not reasonably possible, the maximum notice permitted by the circumstances, and the reason therefor, shall be given. Custodial parents shall give the same type of notice when events beyond their control make the cancellation or modification of scheduled visitation necessary. If the custodial parent cancels or modifies a visit because the child has a schedule conflict, the noncustodial parent should be given the opportunity to take the child to the scheduled event or appointment. 2.11. Pick Up and Return of Children. When the parents live in the same community, the responsibility of picking up and returning the children should be shared. Usually the noncustodial parent will pick up and the custodial parent will return the children to that parent's residence. The person picking up or returning the children during times of visitation has an obligation to be punctual: to arrive at the agreed time - not substantially earlier or later. Repeated, unjustified, violations of this provision may subject the offender to court sanctions. 2.12. Additional Visitation. Visitation should be liberal and flexible. For many parents these guidelines should be considered as only a minimum direction for interaction with the children. These guidelines are not meant to foreclose the parents from agreeing to such additional visitation as they find reasonable at any given time. 3. VISITATION OF CHILDREN OVER AGE FIVE WHEN SOLE CUSTODY OR PRIMARY PHYSICAL CUSTODY AND PARENTS RESIDE MORE THAN 200 MILES APART 3.1 Extended Visitation. All but three weeks of the school summer vacation period and, on an alternating basis, the school Winter (Christmas) vacation and Spring Break. 3.2 Priority of Summer Visitation. Summer visitation with the noncustodial parent takes precedence over summer activities (such as Little League) when the visitation cannot be reasonably scheduled around such events. Even so, the conscientious noncustodial parent will often be able to enroll the child in a similar activity. 3.3 Notice. At least 60 days notice should be given of the date for commencing extended visitation, so that the most efficient means of transportation may be obtained and the parties and the children may arrange their schedules. Failure to give the precise number of days notice does not entitle the custodial parent the right to deny visitation. 3.4 Additional Visitation. Where distance and finances permit, additional visitation, such as for holiday weekends or special events, are encouraged. When the noncustodial parent is in the area where the child resides, or the child is in the area where the noncustodial parent

4. PARENTAL CHANGE OF RESIDENCE 4.1 The provisions of Section 40-4-217, M.C.A. shall be followed with regard to parental changes of residence. 4.2 A move involving relocation of the child(ren) which is opposed by the other parent shall be evaluated under the best interests of the child criteria. In addition, the Court shall consider the following: A) The parent's good faith in moving; B) The child's attachment to each parent; C) The possibility of devising a visitation schedule that will allow meaningful contact with the non-custodial parent; D) The quality of life in the proposed new home; and E) The negative impact of continued hostility between the parents if the Court disapproves the relocation. F) Availability of health insurance for the children in either location.

In cases to be set for jury trial the Court will issue a written Order to the Clerk of District Court specifying the date(s) of trial, the summoning method to be used and the number of potential jurors to be summoned. 2. The trial will be set at least three (3) consecutive weeks after the date set for pre-trial conference and the following schedule shall apply: a) The Court shall issue an Order to the Clerk's Office immediately after the preliminary pre-trial conference to summon a jury. b) The Clerk of District Court shall mail out written summons for jury service on the day of the preliminary pre-trial conference with a return, prepaid postcard included to the panel. The Clerk shall ordinarily add fifteen (15) additional jurors to the number required in anticipation of nonresponses. The juror response deadline shall be set for the following Thursday after the mailing by the Clerk. c) The Clerk of District Court shall, on the following day after the response deadline, send an Additional Juror Summons and a praecipe to the Ravalli County Sheriff for personal service upon non-responding potential jurors. The Sheriff shall make his return thereon within four (4) days thereafter (including the weekend). d) The parties shall have two (2) business days thereafter to file any motion and affidavits to discharge the jury panel as allowed by section Â§46-16-112, M.C.A. in criminal cases.

Rule 38 - Consolidation of Abuse/Neglect Cases A. Each case shall be opened by the Clerk of District Court consistent with the Montana Judicial Branch District Court Uniform Caseload Filing Standards. B. All child abuse and neglect (DN) cases involving the children of one or more common parent, step parent or guardian shall be consolidated automatically before the show cause hearing, under the case number for the youngest affected child. This is not a permanent consolidation under the same case number, but rather a temporary consolidation for ease of case management and administrative purposes. Each case shall retain a separate file and case number. Objections to consolidation, if any, must be raised at the show cause hearing. If an objection is raised and the Court determines that complete integration is inappropriate because of confidentiality or other issues, then as an alternative, the cases may be consolidated and grouped according to common parents, etc. For example, in a case involving one mother but two fathers, the separate cases for the children may be consolidated into two groups, one for each father, each of which will include all the children of that father. C. In issuing Orders to Show Cause, Subpoenas, or Summons, the Clerk of District Court shall issue one such document as necessary for each consolidated case, rather than one document for each child. The Clerk of the District Court shall list the consolidated case number first for the show cause hearing or other hearing and said document will pertain to all of the cases involving the children in the consolidated case. The purpose of this rule is to avoid having to serve multiple Orders to Show Cause or subpoenas upon a parent or witness who is being summoned to attend and/or testify at a consolidated hearing. The consolidated caption shall refer to all of the children in the consolidated matter together

resides, liberal visitation shall be allowed and because the noncustodial parent does not get regular visitation, the child can miss some school during the visits so long as it does not substantially impair the child's scholastic progress.

The original return of service for Orders to Show Cause, Summons, and Subpoenas shall be filed in the file of the youngest child, with copies of each filed in each child's separate case file. If service by publication is required, one Order and one Summons for Publication shall be issued for a consolidated case. D. Appropriate notice of any consolidated hearing involving a child to a parent, step parent or guardian will be deemed legally sufficient notice of any hearing involving other children of that parent, step parent or guardian occurring at the same time and place, unless manifestly unjust. The purpose of this rule is to avoid the raising of notice issues in cases with multiple children, when the notice problem is merely technical and not substantive. E. Orders approving permanency plans shall comply with this rule, but shall individually identify and be made applicable to each youth of a consolidated case. The intent of a local rule is to satisfy the requirements of Montana law; however, the Department will still need to address the requirement of Federal law in any proposed order it submits. F. Unless motion is made and granted otherwise, when the Court appoints counsel for a parent, child, or guardian ad litem [GAL], the appointment shall apply to all DN cases involving the same parent, child, or GAL of a sibling. G. Unless motion is made and granted otherwise, one guardian ad litem [GAL] shall be appointed for each consolidated case, and the GAL shall represent all of the children in that consolidated case. The GAL shall submit one report, with duplicate reports filed in all related consolidated case files. H. The parties shall abide by all confidentiality statutes, especially regarding information they receive pertaining to children who are not their biological children, or for whom they are neither step parents nor guardians. See, e.g., Âş41 3 205 MCA. I. The Court reserves the right to exercise its separate consolidation authority "to order a joint hearing or trial of any or all the matters in issue in the actions . . .." or to "order all the actions consolidated ..." or to make "such orders concerning proceedings therein as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs or delay." Rule 42(a), M.R.Civ.P. The Court also reserves the right to exercise its separate authority to join parties in a case pursuant to Rule 19(a), M.R.Civ.P. J. The Clerk of District Court shall accept and file duplicate originals of all pleadings, petitions, motions, and reports in DN cases designated for consolidation. The Court shall enter only one set of Findings and/or Order at the conclusion of a hearing, but duplicate originals, each signed by the Judge in jurisdiction, shall be executed and a duplicate original filed in the respective files of each of the affected youths. K. Once a consolidated DN case is fully adjudicated or otherwise concluded, each case file shall be separated into its case number consistent with when originally opened, and then the case shall be CLOSED. L. If any closed DN case is later REOPENED, the above rules for opening a case shall be applied and followed. M. Dissemination of documents or information from a DN file, whether active or not, shall be subject to applicable confidentiality laws and the Court's authority under Title 41 to protect the best interests of any child in a DN case. Prior to dissemination of any documents or information from a child's DN file, the Court reserves the right to require redaction of any material relating to witnesses, health care or other confidential matters that would violate a child's best interest if it were released. However, in making any determination regarding dissemination from any open file (or file that is likely to be reopened), the court will balance the discovery and other rights of the parties against the child's best interest on a case by case basis.

Rule 39 - Interactive Video Conferencing Interactive video conferencing capability is available for court related purposes.

The court shall accommodate any request by interested parties to observe the entire proceeding. 5. A record of any proceedings conducted by video conference shall be made by the court reporter. Scheduling of and any applicable fee payment for all video conferencing must occur through the Court Administrator, at least 10 days before the scheduled use.

If the testimony or the evidence would be admissible upon the trial and the adverse party stipulates that it shall be considered as actually given on the trial, there shall be no postponement or continuance unless, in the opinion of the Court, a trial without the witness or evidence would work an injustice on the moving party. B. Late Continuances. If any action set for a jury trial is continued within 96 hours of the trial date the Court may require the moving party to reimburse the Clerk of Court for any expenditures incurred by the Clerk of Court.

Rule 14 - Voir Dire--Opening Statements-Closing Arguments

A. Length. The length and conduct of voir dire examination shall not exceed one (1) hour per side without prior leave of the Court. B. Questioning.

Accordingly, the Court in exercising its discretion may discourage counsel from: (1) Asking questions of an individual juror that are susceptible of being asked collectively; (2) Asking questions covered by and answered in the juror questionnaire, except to explore some answer in greater depth; (3) Repeating questions asked and answered; (4) Using voir dire for the purpose of attempting to instruct the jury on

the law; (5) Using voir dire for the purpose of arguing the case; or (6) Asking a juror what his/her verdict might be under any hypothetical situation based upon expected evidence or otherwise. Opening statements and closing arguments (including rebuttal) shall be limited to one hour. For good cause shown, additional time may be requested and granted by the Court.

Rule 15 - Orders, Judgements and Decrees

It shall be the duty of counsel obtaining any order, judgment or decree to present the same, accompanied by the Court file, in written form for the signature of the judge at the time of applying for the order, judgment or decree. Except in those instances where prior arrangements have been made with the Court or in matters of a self-evident nature, no requests for the issuance of an order will be considered by the Court unless the request is made by counsel in person. If service of an executed order is to be made by the Court, a party presenting an unopposed or routine order shall furnish stamped envelopes addressed to the parties upon whom the documents will be served. Failure to provide stamped, self-addressed envelopes will delay execution of the Order by the Court. When any order is made by the Court, it must immediately thereafter be presented to the Clerk by counsel. A copy of any order, the original of which is being taken out for service, shall be presented to he Clerk immediately upon the signing thereof. All orders, decrees and judgments shall be immediately filed following signature by the Court.

Rule 16 - Stipulations and Agreements Stipulations and Agreements between the parties or their attorneys shall be made on the record and/or reduced to writing.

Rule 17 - Attorneys A. Attorneys of Record. Unless appearing specially on behalf of one of the attorneys of record, no attorney, unless the attorney's name appears on the pleading in the case, may participate in any proceedings in the case until the attorney's name has been entered of record. B. Authority as Attorney. In case of a dispute over the authority of an attorney to represent a party to a proceeding pending before the Court, the Court will not recognize the right of the attorney to appear in such proceedings unless said attorney has an agreement in writing, signed by the client and filed in the record of the case, or unless the party has personally signed the pleadings by virtue of which the attorney appears therein. C. Withdrawal by Attorney.

Then a proper entry of the same and of the order shall be made in the register of actions under the title of the case in which it was filed.

Rule 21 - Interrogatories

The form of interrogatories and answers thereto shall conform to the requirements of Rule 33, M.R.Civ.P. The Court will, except in extraordinary circumstances, sustain a motion to quash all interrogatories if it appears that numerous frivolous interrogatories are asked therein. (Comment: This rule is intended to require the interrogator to custom prepare his/her interrogatories to the case at hand.)

Rule 22 - Transcript Except for good cause shown, no extension of time will be granted in any case in addition to the time allowed by statute in which to prepare a transcript unless the party desiring such extension shall first make a written request to the Court Reporter for a transcript of the notes of the testimony and shall file and serve a copy of his/her request and, at the same time, make satisfactory arrangements to pay the estimated fees therefor.

Rule 23 - Guilty Plea Before the judge will accept any plea of guilty, the attorney for the defendant shall file with the Court a fully executed acknowledgment of waiver of rights by plea of guilty, in the form and with content consistent with the one on file with the Clerk in the general order file, copies of which shall be available from the Clerk. Copies of the executed document shall be served upon the persons designated by said form and at the time provided.

Rule 24 - Criminal Cases

A. In a criminal case, if a not-guilty plea is entered at the time of the arraignment, the case will be set for Omnibus hearing at a later date.

Dispository motions shall be made as directed in the Omnibus Hearing Order. B. The Court hereby urges the full discovery, exploration and plea discussions be carried out between counsel prior to the Omnibus hearing. C. In all cases in which the Court has discretion to consider a motion or allow the exercise of a defense at a later date than that designated in any statute, no party shall be deprived of the right to make such a motion to designate such defense by waiting to present the same at the time of the Omnibus hearing, as contemplated by this rule. D. Counsel shall inform the Court fourteen (14) days prior to trial, whether the cause will proceed to a jury trial. Failure to advise the Court shall be grounds for the Court to vacate and reset the trial date. The next regularly scheduled case shall then have priority for trial.

Rule 25 - Evaluations, Therapy and Counseling in DR cases

In a case with visitation and/or child custody issues, the judge shall consider, at the time of the scheduling conference or at any subsequent time, the advisability of requiring the parties to participate at their own cost in such evaluation, counseling, therapy and/or course of education as may appear necessary and appropriate in the circumstances relative to visitation and/or child custody issues. Any party may also request the Court to order the same at any time. Revised, effective July 1, 2006.

(b) Prior to filing a complaint in any State District or Justice Court in Montana, claimants shall submit a case for consideration of the Panel, and no malpractice claim to which the Act is applicable may be filed in any such court against a health care provider before an application is made to the Panel and its decision rendered. If a complaint has been filed in any such court prior to the filing of an application before the Panel, the claimant, at the time of filing an application with the Panel, shall notify the Panel of such fact by providing to the Panel a conformed copy of the complaint and a conformed copy of any order related to the submission of the claim to the Panel, along with a brief report as to the status of the case.

Any claim against an employee of a health care provider who is other than a health care provider as defined in Rule 1 shall be brought only by naming the employer as a party before the Panel. (2) A statement signed by the claimant, and dated, on a form provided by the Director, for each health care provider involved (whether a party or not), authorizing the Panel to obtain access to all medical, dental, podiatric, and hospital records and information pertaining to the claim and, for purposes of its consideration of the matter only, which includes distribution of such records only to the health care providers named in the claim before the Panel or their attorneys and the panelists reviewing the claim, waiving any privilege as to the contents of those records. The statement may not in any way be construed as waiving that privilege for any other purpose or in any other context, in or out of court nor is this Rule intended to provide for discovery of information which would be privileged or otherwise beyond discovery, pursuant to Rule 26(b)(4)(B),

Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. (3) A claimant may amend the application as a matter of course within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the application by the Panel, but thereafter only upon approval of the Director, or the Chairperson of the Panel, if one is selected.

(4) Upon receipt of a completed application, the Director shall immediately notify the health care provider of filing of the claim and furnish the health care provider a copy thereof. For purposes of this paragraph, a completed application shall be one which is in compliance with subsections (1) and (2) of section (d) of this Rule. If a claimant revokes the required written consent provided in section(d)(2) of this Rule, the application shall not be a completed application. (e) If a claimant or health care provider has retained or otherwise obtained legal counsel for prosecution or defense of a claim during or subsequent to any panel proceeding, that attorney shall file an appearance with the Director, pursuant to Rules of Procedure.

(b) The health care provider shall, on a form provided by the Director, authorize the Panel to inspect all medical, dental, podiatric and hospital records and information pertaining to the application and, for the purposes of such inspection only, which includes distribution of such records only to the claimant or his or her attorney and the panelists reviewing the claim, waiving any privilege as to the contents of those records. Nothing in the statement waives that privilege for any other purpose or in any other context, in or out of court nor is this Rule intended to provide for discovery of information which would be privileged or otherwise beyond discovery, pursuant to Rule 26(b)(4)(B), Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. (c) Upon the receipt of an answer or an amended answer to an application, the Director shall serve a true copy of the same upon the claimant and all other health care providers in the same manner as provided for service of the application in Rule 8(a).

(b) Additionally, upon the receipt of the application for review, the Di rector shall mail a copy of the application to the directors of the health care provider’s professional society or association and the State Bar.

(c) Upon receipt of the names of selected panelists pursuant to Rule 9, the Director shall transmit by mail to all parties a list of all panel members selected, including a short professional biographical sketch of each panelist. (d) At least ten (10) days prior to the hearing date set for a claim, the Director shall furnish to each panel member copies of all claims, briefs,

professional association or society and the State Bar shall, as to each claim, select twelve (12) prospective panel members within fourteen (14) days from the date of transmittal of the application for review to said societies, for use by the Panel and parties as the pool of available panelists for a claim. If no such society or association exists or if the health care provider does not belong to such a society or association, the health care provider’s state licensing board shall, within the same time period as required above, select such twelve (12) persons from the health care provider’s profession and, where applicable, persons specializing in the same field or discipline as the health care provider. Alternatively, the entire list of available prospective panel members shall be annually provided by such association, society or licensing board to the Panel as a pool of available panelists for the claims filed during that year. The Panel shall provide to the parties, or their counsel if a counsel has appeared before the Panel, a list of 12 selected prospective panelists for a claim, either as the 12 provided to the Panel as required by this subsection or as randomly selected by the Panel from the annual lists provided to the Panel as allowed in this subsection. (c) Whenever there are multiple health care providers the claim against each health care provider may be reviewed by a separate Panel, or at the discretion of the Panel initially appointed or by stipulation of the parties, a single Panel may review all the claims against all parties. (d) Except as otherwise provided in (f), six (6) panel members shall sit in review of each case. Where a panel has six members, each claim shall have three (3) panel members who are health care providers, as specified in subsection (e) and three (3) panel members who are attorneys. Not later than ten (10) days prior to the date set for the hearing of the claim, the Panel Director shall select one of the attorney panelists as Chairperson of the Panel, unless one of the parties objects to the Chairperson selected, in which case the Chairperson selected by the Panel shall thereafter cease to act as the Chairperson and the attorney panelists shall select any one of the attorney panelists as Chairperson within the time requirements of this provision. (e) The health care provider panel members shall consist of: (1) Three (3) physicians when the claim is only against one or more physicians; or three (3) dentists when the claim is only against one or more dentists; or three (3) podiatrists when the claim is only against one or more podiatrists. If the claim is only against one or more health care facilities, two (2) of the panel members must be administrators of the same type of facility or facilities and one (1) panel member must be a physician. (2) In cases against physicians and/or dentists and/or podiatrists, and a health care facility, two (2) panel members must be chosen from the physician’s and/or dentist’s and/or podiatrist’s profession(s) and one (1) panel member must be an administrator from the same type of facility. (3) In cases against one or more physicians or one or more dentists or one or more podiatrists and no facility, two (2) panel members must be physicians and one (1) panel member must be a dentist, if there is a dentist in the claim, or one (1) panel member must be a podiatrist, if there is a podiatrist in the claim, unless the number of dentists or podiatrists named exceeds the number of physicians named, then in that event two (2) panel members must be dentists if dentists exceed the number of physicians named, or two (2) panel members must be podiatrists if podiatrists exceed the number of physicians named, and one (1) panel member must be a physician. (f) Provided, however, that in each instance the parties may stipulate to a lesser number of health care provider or attorney panelists, which stipulation shall be effective only upon approval of the director, or of the Panel Chairperson if one be selected. There shall be no requirement that a physician, dentist, or podiatrist panelist be in the same specialty or sub-specialty as one or more of the individual health care providers against whom a claim is made if all such panelists as are selected would otherwise be competent to act as an expert witness in a suit at law involving the individual health care providers and if the number of prospective panelists available in the specialty or sub-specialty would be insufficient from which to select a panel. (g) Upon selection of panel members, the names of those selected shall be communicated to the Director, along with short professional biographical sketches of the persons selected and their business telephone numbers and addresses.

Rule 10 - Disqualification of Proposed Panelists (a) Any Panel member shall disqualify himself or herself from consideration of any case in which, by virtue of circumstances, the Panel member feels his or her presence on the Panel would be inappropriate, considering

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

medical, podiatric, hospital, or dental records of the patient which have been obtained by the Panel, and other documents pertaining to the claim; except when the Chairperson, or Director if a Chairperson has not been selected, of the Panel determines that it is impractical to reproduce or mail a medical, podiatric, hospital, or dental record or other document, or where the Panel Chairperson has ruled after application of a party and a telephonic hearing that certain records should not be transmitted on grounds of relevancy, privilege, or prohibition in state or federal law. Where access to health care information is denied by a health care provider under 50-16-542(1), the Panel Chair may order disclosure of health care information, with or without restrictions as to its use, as the Panel Chair considers necessary, subject to an allowance for any party being provided a full opportunity for district court review of the Panel Chair’s decision. In deciding whether to order disclosure, the Panel Chair shall consider the explanation submitted by the health care provider, the reasons for denying access to health care information set forth in 50-16-542(1), and any arguments presented by interested parties. Such records or documents as are required or allowed to be transmitted shall be made available to panel members at the hearing and at the Panel office prior to the hearing, and each panel member and party shall be notified of the decision of the Chairperson or Director and the availability of the materials. At or prior to the above time, the Director shall furnish to each party, or their attorney if represented, a copy of the medical, podiatric, hospital, or dental records of the patient which have been obtained by the Panel and which are required and allowed to be transmitted and which have been determined to be practical to reproduce or mail. At or prior to such time, the Panel shall notify the parties which records are deemed to be impractical to reproduce or mail, which records shall then be available for inspection by the parties, or their attorneys if they are represented, at the offices of the Panel, during regular business hours, upon reasonable notice of the intended time and date of inspection. If a party claims that medical or other records or information which pertain to the claim are in the possession, custody and control of another party to the claim or persons other than a party to the claim, or if the application to the claim alleges that the mental or physical condition of a health care provider who is a party to the Panel claim is an element of the claim, or if a party has failed or refuses to execute the necessary consent forms required by Rule 6(d)(2) or 7(b) of these Rules, a party who seeks such records and information shall, as a condition of obtaining a subpoena: (a) make a request in writing to the Panel that the Panel obtain specified records or information on behalf of the party, stating how the records or information pertain to the claim and the name and address of the custodian of those records; and (b) comply with the notice requirements of MCA 50-16-536(1) and provide proof of compliance to the Panel; and (d) shall provide the Panel with the written certification required under MCA 50-16-536(2); and (e) shall request the issuance of a subpoena by the Panel Chairperson. The cost of a request for records or other information, either pursuant to an appropriate consent form or a subpoena, and the reproduction and transmission of the records or other information to the parties, shall be at the expense of the Panel, but not including the cost of service of subpoenas or witness fees, which shall be at the expense of the party seeking service of the same. The Panel Chairperson, upon being selected, shall issue a subpoena for all such records and information which pertain to the claim unless relieved of the responsibility therefor by order of a district court. The Panel shall report the results of the service to the parties, including any denial of information from the holder of the records and the reasons therefor. (e) It is the responsibility of each panel member to return the copies of the claim, medical, podiatric, or dental records, exhibits and other documents to the Panel office upon completion of the claim. (f) Except as otherwise provided in Rule 7 and Rule 8 of these Rules with respect to the service of the application, answer, and any amendments thereto by the Director, all motions, memoranda, and other papers presented to the Panel shall be served upon all parties and a copy filed with the Panel in the manner provided by Rule 5 of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure.

the purpose of the Panel. (b) The Director may excuse a proposed panelist from serving on the Panel. (c) Whenever a party makes and files an affidavit that a Panel member selected by these Rules cannot, according to the belief of the party making an affidavit, sit in review of the application nor review the claim with impartiality, that Panel member may proceed no further. A party may not disqualify by affidavit more than three Panel members in any single malpractice claim. Any such affidavit to be effective must be filed within fifteen (15) days of the transmittal by mail to the parties by the Director of the name or names of the proposed panelist[s] who is [are] sought to be disqualified. Nothing in these rules shall additionally be construed so as to defeat a party’s right to such disqualification. (d) To replace any Panel member disqualified or excused under these Rules, a replacement Panel member shall be selected, pursuant to Rule 9 of these Rules, by the entity originally selecting the Panel member under that Rule. The replacement shall be selected by said entity within five (5) days of receipt of notification from the Director of the Panel member disqualified or excused. Notification of replacement Panel members shall be made by the Director pursuant to Rule 8 (c).

Rule 11 - Medical and Dental Consultation A claimant request for Director cooperation in retaining a consultant must be made within four (4) weeks of transmittal of the application to the defendants. The Director shall cooperate fully with the claimant in retaining a physician, dentist, podiatrist, or other health care provider qualified in the field of medicine, dentistry, or podiatry involved, who will consult for purposes of the panel hearing with the claimant upon payment of a reasonable fee by the claimant. The fee shall be calculated on an hourly rate and, upon claimant’s request, reviewed by the Panel. If the full Panel selected to hear the claim determines the consulting fee charged the claimant is unreasonably high, that Panel shall, upon vote of majority, reduce the same to a reasonable fee. Communications between the consultant and the claimant or the claimant’s attorney are privileged unless that privilege is waived by the claimant or is otherwise required to be disclosed by Rule 26(b) of the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure.

Rule 12 - Time and Place of Hearing

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Rule 12(d), after the application has been received, a date, time and place for the hearing shall be fixed by the Director, and prompt notice thereof shall be given by the Director to the parties involved and the members of the Panel. A telephonic hearing shall be authorized upon the written stipulation of all parties and upon the approval of the Panel Chairperson, where the interests of justice would not be served by requiring an in-person hearing and then only under the following specific circumstances where the circumstances of the case and the requirements of orderly processing of the claim: (i) make physical travel to the Panel offices in Helena, Montana impractical for panelists who must be utilized; (ii) impose an unusual economic burden upon a party; or (iii) the issues as represented by each of the parties are such that the use of a telephonic hearing would allow full consideration of the matter by the Panel selected to hear the claim. (b) In no instance may the date of the hearing set be more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the transmittal by the Director to the health care provider of the application for review, unless the Panel Chairperson or the Director finds good cause exists for extending the period. All requests for a continuance and change of hearing date must be submitted to the Panel in writing, stating the reasons therefor, and must include a selection of four alternative future dates for the hearing which are known to be available to each of the parties to the claim. If the request is on an emergency basis within five (5) calendar days from the date of the scheduled hearing, facsimile requests to the Panel are acceptable if the original is mailed on the date of the request. (c) Panel hearings may be held in any county the Panel considers necessary or advisable. The county commissioners or other governing authority shall provide, upon request of the Director, suitable facilities for any such hearing. (d) A hearing need not be held, telephonic or otherwise, and a decision shall be rendered by the Panel only on the written record, where all of the parties or their counsel have stipulated in writing to the waiver of a hearing.

Rule 13 - Pre-Hearing Telephone Conference (a) At least five (5) days prior to the hearing date set, the following parties shall confer, by telephone conference call or personally, with the Chairperson of the Panel: claimant or the claimant’s attorney, the health care provider or the health care provider’s attorney, and the Director

of the Panel. During the pre-hearing conference call, the parties shall consider the following: (1) Simplification and identification of issues; (2) Obtaining of admissions to or stipulations of facts not remaining in dispute and of the authenticity of documents; (3) Limitation of the number of witnesses to be called and scheduling of their appearances; (4) Estimation of length of hearing and, if applicable, consideration of any transcription request; (5) Any other matters that might aid in expeditious consideration and determination of the claim; (6) Any materials submitted pursuant to Rule 14.

Rule 14 - Exhibits and Documentary Evidence No later than fourteen (14) days prior to the hearing date set for the claim, the parties shall furnish each other a copy and the Director seven (7) copies of all records and other documents and exhibits other than medical, hospital, podiatric or dental records obtained by the Panel, properly identified, upon which they intend to rely at the time of the hearing. If a party makes a sufficient showing by affidavit, filed with the Panel and provided to the parties and the Panel Chairperson, that documents or records upon which they intend to rely were not available within such fourteen (14) day period, the Chairperson shall have the discretionary authority to admit such later-acquired evidence upon such terms and conditions as are just and equitable in the premises. At the time of filing the required affidavit, the party providing the same shall serve copies of the documents or records in dispute on the Panel, the Chairperson and all other parties.

Rule 15 - Hearing Procedures (a) At the time set for hearing, the claimant submitting the case for review shall be present, personally, unless that presence is: (1) waived by all health care providers; or (2) excused by the Panel Chairperson or the Director upon a timely request stating the reasons therefor. The claimant or claimant’s counsel shall make a brief introduction of the case, including a resume of the facts constituting the alleged professional malpractice which he or she is prepared to prove. The health care provider against whom the claim is brought shall also be present, which presence may be excused in like manner as the claimant as provided by this Rule, and may make an introductory statement of his or her case, personally or through counsel. (b) Claimant shall proceed first with his or her case, followed by the health care provider. Both parties may call witnesses to testify, who shall be subject to cross-examination and who shall be sworn. Medical, hospital, podiatric, or dental texts, journals and other documentary evidence relied upon by either party may be offered and admitted, if relevant, and if submitted timely under Rule 14. Written statements of fact by treating health care providers or claimants may be reviewed by the Panel. (c) The hearing will be confidential and informal, and the Panel shall not make, pay for or retain any transcript; with the consent of the Chairperson of the Panel and all parties to the claim, the parties may provide for the making, payment and retention of a transcript. The Montana Rules of Evidence shall not apply to hearings before the Panel; however, irrelevant, immaterial or unduly repetitious evidence may be excluded by the Chairperson. (d) All members of the Panel and counsel to the parties, or the parties if unrepresented, shall have the right to examine the parties and witnesses, including the parties when called as witnesses, subject to the control of the Chairperson. (e) At the conclusion of the hearing, the Panel may take the claim under advisement or may request that additional facts, records, witnesses or other information be obtained and presented to it at a supplemental hear ing, which shall be set for a date and time certain, not longer than thirty (30) days from the date of the original hearing, unless the party bringing the matter for review consents in writing to a longer period. (f) Any supplemental hearing shall be held in the same manner as the original hearing, and the parties and their attorneys may be present. (g) No Panel member may be called to testify in any proceeding concerning the deliberations, discussions, decisions and internal proceedings of the Panel.

Rule 16 - Panel Deliberations and Decisions (a) The deliberations of the Panel are confidential. Upon consideration of all the relevant material, the Panel shall decide: (1) Is there substantial evidence that the acts or omissions

Rule 17 - Travel Expenses All members of the Panel, the Director, and the Director’s staff are entitled to travel expenses incurred while on the business of the Panel, as provided in Sections 2-18-501 through 2-18-503, MCA, but such expenses shall be approved by the Director before payment is made.

Rule 18 - Compensation of the Panel All members of the Panel shall be paid a fee of Forty Dollars ($40.00) per hour, up to a maximum of Three Hundred Twenty Dollars ($320.00) per day in which a hearing or part of a hearing is held, for the time spent in hearing claims, subject to the approval of the Director and upon presentation of a billing itemizing to the one-tenth(1/10th) of an hour the nature of the services performed and the time involved. Upon the effective date of an amendment to Section 27-6-203, MCA, authorizing the same, the amount of such compensation shall be increased to Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per hour, up to a maximum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per day in which a hearing or part of a hearing is held, for the time spent in hearing claims. Additional compensation for travel time and other services shall be considered by the Director under circumstances including, but not limited to, weather or distance.

Rule 19 - Additional Authority of Panel

The Panel may provide for the administration of oaths, the receipt of claims filed, the promulgation of forms required by the Act, the issuance of subpoenas in connection with the administration of the Act, and the performance of other acts to fairly and effectively administer the Act.

Rule 20 - Statute of Limitations - Separately Designated Necessary or Proper Parties

(a) The running of the applicable limitation period in a malpractice claim is tolled upon receipt by the Director of the application for review, as to all health care providers named in the application as parties to the Panel proceeding, and as to all other persons or entities named in the application as necessary or proper parties, for any court action which might subsequently arise out of the same factual circumstances set forth in the application. (b) The running of the applicable limitation period in a malpractice claim does not begin again until 30 days after either an order of dismissal, with or without prejudice against re-filing, is issued from the Panel Chairperson or from the Director upon the consent of the parties to the claim, or the Panel’s final decision, whichever occurs first, is entered in the permanent files of the Panel and a copy is served upon the complainant or claimant’s attorney, if he or she is represented by counsel, by certified mail.

constitute a departure from the accepted standards of health care; (2) If the answer to (1) is “Yes,” whether there is a reasonable probability that the patient was injured thereby. (b) All votes of the Panel on the questions for discussion shall be by secret ballot. The decision shall be by a majority vote of those voting members of the Panel who sat on the entire case. The decision shall be communicated in writing to the parties and their attorneys of record, or to a party if that party has no attorney, and a copy thereof shall be retained in the permanent files of the Panel. (c) The decision shall, in every case, be signed for the Panel by the Chairperson and shall contain only the conclusions reached by a majority of its members and shall list the number of members, if any, dissenting therefrom. Upon request of any party, the majority shall briefly explain the reasoning and the basis for their decision, and the dissenters may likewise explain the reason for disagreement. (d) The decision and the reasoning and basis for the decision of the Panel is not admissible as evidence in any action subsequently brought in any court of law. A copy of the decision shall be sent by the Director to the health care provider’s professional licensing board. (e) Panelists and witnesses are immune from civil liability for all commu nications, findings, opinions and conclusions made in the course and scope of the duties prescribed by the Act. (f) The Panel’s decision is without administrative or judicial authority and is not binding upon any party. The Panel may, however, recommend an award, approve settlement agreements consented to by the parties and discuss the same and all such approved settlement agreements are binding on the parties.

SUPREME COURT ORDER UNIFYING THE STATE BAR SUPREME COURT ORDER UNIFYING THE STATE BAR No. 12616 IN THE SUPREME COURT IN THE STATE OF MONTANA 1973 In the Matter of the Application of the President of the Montana Bar Association for the Making of Rules Governing Admission to the Bar and the Conduct of its Members, and for Unification of the Bar of the State of Montana to Administer Such Rules.

ORIGINAL PROCEEDING: Submitted: December 17, 1973; Decided: January 29, 1974; Filed: January, 29 1974 PER CURIAM: On October 16, 1973 an original petition was filed herein requesting this Court (1) to order unification of the Montana Bar and (2) to direct such Unified Bar to present to this Court for adoption proposed rules for its government, admission of attorneys to the practice of law, and for the conduct of its members. The petition and objections thereto came on for hearing on December 17, 1973. Numerous briefs were filed, oral arguments were heard, and the matter was taken under, advisement. The power of this Court to order unification of the bar is clear. Its inherent power to order unification is established by the following cases: In re Unification of the Montana Bar Ass’n (1939), 107 Mont. 559, 87 P.2d 172: In re Unification of Bar of this Court (1947). 119 Mont. 494, 175 P.2d 773; Application of the Montana Bar Ass’n (1962), 140 Mont. 101, 368 P.2d 158; Application of the Montana Bar Ass’n (1963), 142 Mont. 351, 385 P.2d 99; In re Petition for the Unification of the Montana Bar (1971), 156 Mont. 515, 485 P.2d 945. The 1972 Montana Constitution specifically grants this Court the power to make rules governing admission to the bar and the conduct of its members. Art. VII, Sec. 2, 1972 Montana Constitution. Previous applications for unification have been denied for the following reasons: (1) Failure to show a need for unification (in re Unification of the Montana Bar Ass’n (1939): In re Unification of Bar of this Court 1947). (2) Members of the Bar did not desire unification (Application of the Montana Bar Ass’n (1963). (3) A divided and disinterested bar and a divided Court on the issue of unification (In re Petition for the Unification of the Montana Bar (1971)). Approximately thirty of the fifty states of the United States now have unified bars including our neighboring states of North Dakota, Wyoming, and Idaho, and a substantial majority of all western states. Arguments advanced by proponents of a unified bar, both in this state and elsewhere, include: (1) the legal profession is better able to police and regulate itself; (2) a unified bar has greater influence in promoting necessary legal reform; (3) a unified bar promotes greater participation, diversity of views and quality of work from the legal profession; (4) local bar associations are promoted by unification; and (5) unification eliminates “freeloaders” and nonparticipants in the obligations of the legal profession such as protection of the public by client security funds, making legal services available to all in need by lawyer referral plans, and similar public obligations and services. Arguments advanced by opponents of unification include: (1) no necessity exists for unification; (2) compulsory membership deprives an attorney of the fundamental liberty of freedom of choice; (3) conditions have not -changed since the last denial of unification in Montana; (4) workable and proven rules for admission to practice and the conduct of attorneys exist outside the framework of unification: and (5) unification deprives an attorney of his property without due process of law and places him in a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of constitutional guarantees. The controlling consideration on the issue of unification is direct and clear: How is the public best served? The practice of law is not a private preserve maintained for the benefit of attorneys. An attorney has neither a vested right nor a property right in the practice of law. In re Isserman, 345 U.S. 286, 73 S.Ct. 676, 97 L ed 1013; Bradwell v. The State, 16 Wallace 130 (83 U.S.); Ex parte Garland, 4 Wallace 333 (71.U.S.) Constitutional guarantees do not prohibit unification. Lathrop v. Donohue, 367 U.S., 820, 81 S.Ct. 1826, 6 L ed 2d 1191. The practice of law exists to provide a needed service to the public. To accomplish this purpose, one who wishes to practice law must initially, meet required standards of character; required standards of education, knowledge and ability; and required standards of ethical conduct hence rules are required for admission to the bar. Equally important is the continuing nature of these obligations and standards throughout the professional life of an attorney hence rules are required governing the conduct of those engaged in the legal profession. The vast majority of attorneys practicing in Montana recognizes these requirements and standards and conforms its qualifications and conduct accordingly. But, individual abuses do exist which damage the legal profession as a whole and render it unable to fulfill its obligations to the public in the highest degree. We would be blinding ourselves to reality were we not to recognize the increasing incidence of such abuses by some individuals in the profession. The practice of law is a privilege burdened with conditions. Matter of Rouss, 221, N.Y. 81, 116 N.E. 782, quoted with, approval in Theard v. United States, 345 U.S. 278, 77 S.Ct. 1274, 1 L ed 2d 1342. Such conditions include: protection of the public from unethical practitioners: continuing legal education; providing for the availability of legal services to all; promoting needed legal reform; to name a few. Are all practitioners in Montana meeting these obligations? Do all attorneys: Contribute to client security funds? Participate in lawyer referral plans? Initiate or even participate in needed legal reforms? Face the problems of unethical conduct by fellow practitioners? Of course not! Unification of the bar appears to be the best available method of correcting the foregoing abuses and conditions which have, in our view, become worse since the last application was heard. This Court considers action at this time imperative. Accordingly, it is ORDERED: (1) Pursuant to the powers of the Montana Supreme Court to govern and control the practice of law in Montana, all persons admitted to the practice of law in this state are hereby unified into an organization to be known as the Unified Bar of Montana which shall be organized in this manner: a) The name of the organization shall be “The Unified Bar of Montana”. b) The purposes of the Unified Bar of Montana shall be to aid the courts in maintaining and improving the administration of justice; to foster and maintain on the part of those engaged in the practice of law high standards of integrity, learning, competence, public service, and conduct; to safeguard proper professional interests of members of the bar; to encourage the formation, maintenance, and activities of local bar associations; to provide a forum for the discussion of and effective action concerning subjects pertaining to the practice of law, the science of jurisprudence and law reform, and relations of the bar to the public; and to insure that the responsibilities of the legal profession to the public are more effectively discharged. c) All persons now or hereafter admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of this state, excluding judges of courts of record, are declared to be active members of the Unified Bar of Montana. Each active member shall pay the annual attorney license fee provided by law and shall pay such membership dues in the Unified Bar of Montana as are approved by the Montana Supreme Court and contained in the by-laws. Nonpayment of membership dues shall result in suspension of membership and the right to practice law until payment. d) A Board of Trustees shall be elected as the governing body of the Unified Bar of Montana from the active members thereof. Such Board shall consist of sixteen trustees, two from each area designated in the order establishing the Commission on Practice contained in the order in Supreme Court Cause No. 10910, dated January 5, 1965. The principle of proportional and area representation as contained therein shall be followed and the establishment and election of the Board shall be in similar manner as in the order in Supreme Court cause No. 10910, dated January 5, 1965. e) Officers of the Unified Bar of Montana shall include a President, a President-Elect, and a Secretary-Treasurer. They shall be nominated and elected annually. The President and President-Elect shall be nominated and elected by the active members of the Unified Bar of Montana. The Secretary-Treasurer shall be nominated and elected by the Board of Trustees but need not be a member of such Board. The duties, powers, qualifications, nominations and election of officers shall be provided for in appropriate by-laws. f) The Montana Supreme Court shall possess and retain original and exclusive jurisdiction in the enforcement of professional ethics and conduct of members of the Unified Bar of Montana, as provided in the Code of Professional Responsibility as now existing or which may hereafter be adopted. The practice and procedure of the Commission on Practice of the Supreme Court of the State of Montana as provided in the existing order covering the same in Supreme Court cause No. 10910, dated January 5, 1965, or as the same may hereafter be amended, shall be retained. (2) An organizational committee shall be named to draft a proposed Constitution for the government of the Unified Bar of Montana: proposed by-laws in conformity herewith and covering such other subjects as it deems appropriate; and an implemental schedule. The same shall be submitted to the Montana Supreme Court for approval not later than December 1, 1974. (3) The organizational committee shall be appointed by the Supreme Court. (4) Notice shall be given by mailing a copy of this order to each attorney licensed to practice by this Court. Dated this 29th day of January 1974.

DUES ORDER IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA No. 00-329 2001 MT 108 ______________ IN RE THE PETITION OF THE ) OPINION STATE BAR OF MONTANA ) AND FOR A DUES INCREASE ) ORDER ______________

Introduction The State Bar of Montana has petitioned this Court to increase the annual dues for active members of the State Bar from $100 to $150, to increase the dues for inactive members from $50 to $75, and to amend the By-Laws of the State Bar of Montana to provide a mechanism for the Board of Trustees to report to the Court once every five years, with the report to serve as the basis for any recommendation by the Board for a change in dues. The State Bar represents that general dues for active members of the State Bar were set at $100 per year in 1974, and, some 27 years later in 2001, they remain at $100. Despite the efforts of Bar management to develop alternative sources of revenue, it became apparent in 1996 that the Bar could not continue to serve its historic purposes without a dues increase. The Board of Trustees thus put the question of a dues increase to the membership for a referendum vote. The referendum was defeated by a two-to-one margin. The Bar further represents that expenses cannot be further reduced and that without additional funding, it will be unable to continue many of its programs. More than 56 percent of the Bar’s funding now comes from non-dues income and all substantial non-dues revenue sources have been exhausted. The State Bar budget for next fiscal year projects a deficit of $120,000, and it is estimated that in five years, absent a dues increase, the Bar will have a negative general fund balance of $248,000. The Bar’s general fund budget is approximately $800,000 per year. The State Bar’s petition was published in The Montana Lawyer and comments were invited. Numerous objections to the Bar’s petition were lodged. Generally speaking, the objectors question the need for a dues increase. More importantly, however, they contend that when the Supreme Court ordered unification of the State Bar in In re President of the Mont. Bar Ass’n (1974), 163 Mont. 523, 527, 518 P.2d 32, 34, the Court made it clear that it would approve dues increases only as provided in the by-laws. Under the State Bar’s present by-laws, there can be no dues increase without the approval of a referendum vote of the membership. Article XV (Amendment). In the absence of a referendum vote, they contend that it is premature to present the issue to the Supreme Court for approval. Secondly, as to the proposed amendment to the by-laws regarding future dues increases, the objectors argue that, under Article XV, there is no provision for the Supreme Court to unilaterally amend the by-laws. In response to the objectors, the State Bar acknowledges that the present by-laws specifically provide that dues may be increased only by a referendum vote of the entire membership. The State Bar, however, contends that the Supreme Court retains ultimate control over the State Bar and that as an essential function of that governance the Court must assure that funds are available to support Bar programs and services. We agree with the objectors that under the 1974 Order unifying the Bar, the Supreme Court created a system whereby membership dues are, in the first instance, to be set by the State Bar in accordance with the by-laws of that organization, subject to the “approval” of the Montana Supreme Court. We further agree that under the present by-laws, there can be no dues increase for the Supreme Court to approve unless and until such an increase has been adopted by a referendum vote of the Bar membership. To date, there has been no referendum vote approving a dues increase. Furthermore, we cannot, consistently with the structure we established in the 1974 Order, unilaterally “approve” an increase in dues that has not first been adopted pursuant to the very by-laws envisioned in that Order. Likewise, we did not, in the 1974 Order, give this Court leeway to unilaterally amend the by-laws. Accordingly, we deny the State Bar’s petition for a dues increase and deny the request that we amend the by-laws. However, for the reasons set forth below, we determine that the 1974 Order unifying the Bar, as interpreted by this Court in subsequent decisions, is at best unworkable and at worst unconstitutional. Discussion In January of 1974, this Court invoked its constitutional power to “govern and control the practice of law in Montana.” See In Re President of the Mont. Bar Ass’n, 163 Mont. at 526, 518 P.2d at 33; Art. VII, Sec. 2, Mont. Const. In its Unification Order, the Court specifically directed that “[e]ach active member shall pay the annual attorney license fee provided by law and shall pay such membership dues in the Unified Bar of Montana as are approved by the Montana Supreme Court and contained in the by-laws.” In Re President of the Mont. Bar Ass’n, 163 Mont. at 527, 518 P.2d at 34. The Court directed that an organizational committee draft a constitution and by-laws. The drafting was accomplished, and the Constitution and by-laws of the State Bar of Montana were adopted by the Supreme Court on January 23, 1975. Five months later, the Board of Trustees adopted a resolution to amend the by-laws to increase the annual dues from $40 to its current $100 level for active members. The increase was approved at the first annual meeting. The 1975 dues increase was challenged as an abrogation of the Court’s authority to control the Bar. But as noted in Douglas v. State Bar (1978), 183 Mont. 149, 598 P.2d 1078 [Douglas I], and Douglas v. State Bar (1979), 183 Mont. 155, 598 P.2d 1080 [Douglas II], a question arose as to whether the Court’s 1975 Order adopting the Bar’s Constitution and by-laws had indirectly given the Bar unilateral control over dues increases. As the Court explained in Douglas I: It appears a major opposition to the Unified Bar of Montana was a fear of dues increases not approved by this Court. It would appear that this was one reason for our statement in the 1974 order retaining the power to approve or disapprove dues increases. However, by issuing the 1975 order adopting the constitution and by-laws substantially as presented to this Court by the organizational committee, we may have handed authority over dues increases to the Unified Bar. 183 Mont. at 153, 598 P.2d at 1078. The Court accepted original jurisdiction to address the apparent conflict. Then in Douglas II, the Court ruled that the 1975 Order controlled for purposes of that action and held “[a]ccordingly, the dues increase voted upon by the membership and without the approval of this Court, was proper.” Douglas II, 183 Mont. at 156, 598 P.2d at 1081. The Court in effect ratified the increase that the membership already had approved.

Ratification of the membership’s vote did not, however, signal the Court’s abdication of its reserved right to control prospective dues increases. The Court observed that: The problem . . . of future dues increases, continues to fester. We noted in the first Douglas case that a significant opposition to a unified bar in this state was prompted by a fear that fees would be increased without a vote of the full membership. These people did not want their dues increased solely by a vote of those attending the annual bar convention meeting. This, indeed, was one of the reasons for our 1974 order wherein we specifically reserved the right to approve or disapprove of membership dues. This Court realized that often members cannot afford to, or for some other reason cannot or will not attend the annual meetings. Nonetheless, they should have a voice in determining whether their annual dues are to be increased. Presently, the voice is limited to those who attend the annual meetings. We also noted in the first Douglas opinion that this Court inadvertently passed control over dues increases to the State Bar of Montana. That was something this Court did not intend to do. As far as the future is concerned, it should not stand unrectified. By retaining the authority to approve or disapprove of annual dues increases in this Court, the entire membership will have an opportunity to register their approval or disapproval. Clearly, the entire membership should have a say. We cannot grant relief to the plaintiff in this case. However, this Court will, by appropriate order, reinstate our authority to approve or disapprove of future dues increases. The State Bar of Montana will be instructed to take appropriate action to comply with the order of this Court. Douglas II, 183 Mont. at 158-59, 598 P.2d at 1082-83 (emphasis added).

There is no record of the Court’s instruction to the State Bar having ever been implemented.

The by-laws were amended in 1985 to eliminate the sliding dues scale and the maximum assessment of $100 was unchanged. In an initiative in 1987, the membership, by a 642 to 595 vote, amended the by-laws by adding the following language: However, all changes in dues and fees may be amended or repealed only through the referendum procedure in Article XIII by a majority vote of the voting active members. The referendum procedure itself was modified as follows: These by-laws, including all changes in dues and fees, may be amended or repealed only through the referendum procedure in Article XIII by a majority vote of the voting active members. Despite the Court’s reserving the right to “approve or disapprove” future dues increases in Douglas II, no one challenged the 1987 memberinitiated by-law amendments. A referendum comporting with the amended procedure failed in 1996 by a two-to-one margin, despite concerted efforts by Bar leadership to convince its membership that a dues increase was necessary and explain how the revenues would be spent. Only 60 percent of the active members voted. In an attempt to clarify procedure, the State Bar’s Board of Trustees amended the dues-related by-laws in 1990 and again at the September 2000 Annual Meeting. Article XV currently provides: These by-laws may be amended or repealed at any meeting of the Board of Trustees of the State Bar by majority vote of the Board of Trustees, provided notice setting forth the proposed amendment shall be given all Board of Trustee members in the notice of the meeting. However, all changes in dues and fees and Article VII, Section 4 (powers of annual meeting) may be amended or repealed only through the referendum procedure in Article XIII by a majority vote of the voting active, active military service and judicial members. In summary, the Court, 27 years ago, created a unified Bar in Montana for the purposes of: aiding the Court in maintaining and improving the administration of justice; maintaining high standards of integrity, conduct, competence and public service on the part of practicing attorneys; providing a forum for the discussion of subjects pertaining to the practice of law; and insuring that the responsibilities of the legal profession to the public are more effectively discharged. The Order Unifying the Bar provides for membership dues as are approved by the Montana Supreme Court and contained in the by-laws. In Douglas II, in order to protect the Bar membership’s right to register its say as to the dues structure, we reiterated that the Court retained the authority “to approve or disapprove of annual dues increases.” In the years since the 1974 Order Unifying the Bar, the Bar has, pursuant to this Court’s Order Unifying the Bar, adopted and amended by-laws. Those by-laws presently provide that all changes in dues and fees may be amended or repealed only through the referendum procedure by a majority vote of the voting active members. Article XV. With the Bar membership effectively in control of the dues structure, the Court’s ability to govern and control the practice of law is considerably hampered. The time has come to review the provisions of the 1974 Order Unifying the Bar and determine whether that Order and our decision in Douglas II comport with our constitutional obligations. Article VII, Section 2, of the Montana Constitution states that the Supreme Court is to govern and control the practice of law. The Court has, in part, exercised this constitutional power to govern and control the practice of law through the creation of a Unified Bar. The Bar, of course, cannot carry out the Supreme Court’s unification directives without dues revenue. However, under the present unification order, the dues structure is, in the first instance, a function of membership vote-subject only to the “approval or disapproval” of the Supreme Court. We determine that this structure of shared control over the dues revenue of the Bar does not comport with Article VII, Section 2, of the Montana Constitution, which places the governance and control of the practice of law solely with the Supreme Court. The structural deficiencies set forth above do not alter the fact that the Court needs a unified bar to assist in the governance and control of the practice of law. In our 1974 Order we noted the need to promulgate and maintain ethical standards, the need to provide continuing legal education and the need to provide for the availability of legal services to all. In the past 27 years, we have seen a marked increase in the number of ethical complaints coming before the Commission on Practice; we have seen an increase in the number of practitioners coupled with greater specialization in the practice of law; and we have experienced a drastic reduction in the funding for legal services for those unable to afford attorneys. There is little question but that our concerns with ethical conduct, continuing legal education and availability of legal services to all are even more compelling now than they were 27 years ago. The State Bar should continue with its efforts to help fund legal services. In addition, we recognize that attorneys impaired by alcohol, drugs or mental problems adversely affect the practice of law, damaging both their clients and the credibility of the profession.

Thus, the State Bar of Montana must continue to address the Court’s and the legal profession’s responsibilities to the public through such programs as Lawyers Helping Lawyers; Lawyers Fund for Client Protection; and arbitration of fee disputes. As the United States Supreme Court noted in Keller v. State Bar of California (1990), 496 U.S. 1, 12, 110 S.Ct. 2228, 2235, 110 L.Ed.2d 1, 13, “[i] t is entirely appropriate that all of the lawyers who derive benefit from the unique status of being among those admitted to practice before the courts should be called upon to pay a fair share of the cost of the professional involvement in this effort.” Thus, in order to fulfill our constitutional duty to govern and control the practice of law in the State of Montana, we conclude that it is necessary that the 1974 Order Unifying the Bar be amended to provide that annual membership dues will be set at the sole discretion of the Supreme Court.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

(1) The rationales set forth for unification of the Bar in Sections 1(a), (b) and (d) of the 1974 Order Unifying the Bar are hereby reaffirmed. (2) Section (1)(c) of the 1974 Order is hereby amended to read: All persons now or hereafter admitted to practice law before the Supreme Court of this State, excluding judges of courts of record, are declared to be active members of the Unified Bar of Montana. Each active member shall pay the annual attorney license fee provided by law and shall pay such membership dues in the Unified Bar of Montana as are established in the sole discretion of the Montana Supreme Court. Effective March 1, 2002, the membership dues are set at $150 per year for active members of the Bar and $75 per year for inactive members. Nonpayment of membership dues shall result in suspension of membership and the right to practice law until payment.

Any future dues changes, while in the sole discretion of the Court, shall be implemented only after giving the Bar membership notice of the proposed change and a 90-day period to comment on the proposed change.

(3) Section 1(f) of the 1974 Order is amended to read: The Montana Supreme Court shall possess and retain original and exclusive jurisdiction in the enforcement of professional ethics and conduct of the members of the Unified Bar of Montana, as provided in the Code of Professional Responsibility as now existing or which may hereafter be adopted. The practice and procedure of the Commission on Practice of the Supreme Court of the State of Montana as provided in the existing order covering the same in Supreme Court Cause No. 10910, dated January 5, 1965, or as the same may hereafter be amended shall be retained. The Supreme Court retains the authority to assess Bar members, in addition to Bar membership dues, such annual assessment as deemed necessary, in the Court’s discretion, to fund the investigation, prosecution, presentation and resolution of matters before the Commission on Practice.

(4) Beginning in March 2003, the State Bar of Montana shall report annually to the Court as to the financial status of the Bar. Beginning in March 2005, and every three years thereafter, the State Bar shall file with the Court a special report analyzing the dues structure in light of the Bar’s responsibility to address the purposes of the Unified Bar as stated herein and in paragraph 1(b) of the 1974 Order. (5) The State Bar of Montana is hereby directed to amend the by-laws to conform to this Order and submit the amended by-laws to this Court for approval, rejection or modification no later than December 31, 2001.

(6) Notice of this Order shall be given by mailing a copy of this Order to each attorney licensed to practice law by this Court. DATED this 19th day of June, 2001.

/S/ KARLA M. GRAY; /S/ W. WILLIAM LEAPHART; /S/ JAMES C. NELSON; /S/ PATRICIA COTTER; /S/ TERRY N. TRIEWEILER; /S/ JIM REGNIER Justice Jim Rice dissenting: I respectfully dissent from the Court’s order. The Court today abrogates the Bylaws of the State Bar of Montana, imposes a 50% dues increase upon the membership, and disenfranchises the membership of its suffrage in regard to future dues increases. While I recognize the Court’s constitutional authority to govern the practice of law in Montana, I do not believe such drastic measures are warranted. Bypassing the requirements of its own Bylaws, the State Bar has petitioned the Court for a dues increase without first submitting the question to the membership. On that basis alone, I would deny the petition. As grounds for the petition, the State Bar complains that our state’s dues are among the lowest in the nation, that some State Bar programs are jeopardized, and that the 1996 dues referendum was defeated by the membership. It must be remembered that the 1996 referendum was interwoven with a controversial Commission on Practice plan. Further, many members did not feel that the State Bar had adequately explained the purpose for the increased revenue. Exercising its collective prerogative, the membership rejected the proposed increase. The State Bar appears to have concluded that the referendum vote of five years ago is an indicator of the membership’s permanent opposition to any and all dues increases, for whatever purpose, a conclusion which is not reasonable and to which I do not subscribe. A plan to moderately increase the dues to support important bar programs would find much fertile ground within the membership, but such a plan has not been offered. The State Bar has not responded to the membership, learned from the mistakes in 1996, and altered its course accordingly. I cannot conclude that the State Bar has acted with the due diligence that would entitle it to the extraordinary relief provided herein. While inflation has eroded the value of the dues established in 1974, it should not be forgotten that the dues were increased by 150% that year. Since then, there has been a substantial increase in membership, substantially increasing the State Bar’s budget. Further, to its credit, the State Bar has creatively enhanced its revenue from non-dues sources, and the State Bar’s reserves currently stand at a half million dollars. While the State Bar is experiencing revenue shortfalls, and there are dark clouds on the distant horizon, I do not believe this mandates a conclusion that the 1974 Unification order is “unworkable,” or that a crisis exists of a magnitude that would justify the Court’s actions herein. In the context of governmental funding, compulsion of revenue by the courts is reserved for situations constituting an emergency. Butte-Silver Bow v. Olsen (1987), 228 Mont. 77, 743 P.2d 564. While this is not a matter of governmental funding, the comparison is helpful. I do not believe the circumstances here constitute an

emergency, and if one should develop which necessitated intervention, the Court should consider at most, a temporary dues assessment that would not permanently erase the rights of the membership. Most troubling is the Court’s elimination of the membership’s right to vote on future dues increases in exchange for a 90-day comment period. After the Court has ignored the results of a profession-wide referendum in issuing this order, many members may legitimately doubt that a “90-day comment period” will provide an efficacious opportunity to express their concerns about future dues increases. Many opponents to future dues increases will be silenced. Currently, a member’s opposition to an unreasonable dues proposal can be confidentially expressed “in the privacy of the polling booth.” In the future, a member will be required to take a public stand in order to register his opposition to the State Bar’s proposals. As a result, there will be a chilling effect on the membership’s speech and participation rights, an ironic consequence of the Court’s exercise of constitutional power. Further, the Court is creating the temptation for the State Bar, whenever the budget becomes tight--and budgets generally do--to run to the Supreme Court for additional funding. Instead, the State Bar should listen to its membership, and make budgeting decisions based upon revenue that the membership provides. The Court’s order eliminates the State Bar’s financial accountability to its members, the consequences of which are predictably unfortunate.

I would deny the State Bar’s petition, and grant no other relief.

Justice James C. Nelson concurs: While I understand the perspective from which Justice Rice dissents from this Court’s order, I respectfully suggest that his opinion misses the fundamental point of our decision. This Court, and this Court alone, bears the constitutional obligation--and concomitantly, has the authority--to govern and control the practice of law in this State. See Article VII, Section 2(3), Constitution of Montana. The dues provision under our 1974 Unification Order contravenes this authority. It always did. See Application, 163 Mont. at 527, 518 P.2d at 34. For reasons that are lost in history (but which I suspect were driven by an attempt to appease Bar members angered by the 1974 Unification Order), we approved the 1975 By-Laws with the provision allowing the Bar membership to effectively set the dues for the operations of the integrated Bar--an organizational structure which we mandated into existence pursuant to our constitutional authority. When the challenge to this dues provision was raised in Douglas I, we ostensibly recognized the problem for what it was: an abrogation of our constitutional duty to set dues. Nonetheless, in Douglas II, in a continuing effort to placate the dissatisfied faction of the Bar membership, we punted. And this is the point that Justice Rice’s dissent misapprehends. Setting the dues necessary to fund and operate the State Bar of Montana never was, constitutionally, the prerogative of the Bar membership. Indeed, submitting yet another proposed dues increase to the members of the Bar; separating out the “controversial Commission on Practice plan” from the dues increase proposal; and hoping to find “fertile ground” by the Bar leadership offering a proposal for a “moderate” dues increase may well convey the sonorous ring of political compromise, but these suggestions miss the point completely. These proposals do not solve the underlying constitutional problem of this Court “hand[ing] authority over dues increases to the Unified Bar.” Douglas I, 183 Mont. at 153, 598 P.2d at 1080. Rather, these proposals merely prolong and exacerbate what amounts to an unconstitutional delegation of this Court’s dues authority to the members of the Bar. Purely and simply, the matter of dues is not the Bar membership’s call. It is the Court’s, under Montana’s Constitution. We were wrong to not address this problem squarely and honestly in Douglas II; we failed in our obligation to resolve the issue once and for all then; and putting off the inevitable to another day and another Court is a cop-out. I am absolutely satisfied that we have made the legally correct decision here. Unfortunately, that we have chosen to let this sore fester for nearly 20 years makes lancing the boil no less necessary--it only makes the operation a good deal more painful. Chief Justice Karla M. Gray concurs in the foregoing concurrence. Justice Terry N. Trieweiler concurs:

I agree and join in Justice Nelson’s concurring opinion. I would also add the following observations regarding Justice Rice’s dissent.

Justice Rice defends the membership’s rejection of a dues increase in 1996 based on many members’ feelings that the Bar had not adequately explained the need for the increased revenue. As one who personally followed the 1996 campaign, I disagree. Any member of the State Bar who did not understand the need for the increased revenue did not care. Bar officials traveled from one end of the state to the other and met with every county bar association which expressed an interest in an effort to communicate the importance of and need for a dues increase. To suggest that a majority of the Bar’s members would willingly accept responsibility for financing the operations of an integrated bar if only given enough information is a lame excuse for avoiding this Court’s constitutional responsibility to govern and control the practice of law as the majority of the Court deems necessary based on the facts presented to us. I also disagree with Justice Rice’s suggestion that there is something helpful about a comparison of this Court’s constitutional obligation to govern and control the practice of law and prior decisional law regarding compulsion of governmental funding by another branch of the government. No comparison could be less helpful. In one instance, this Court is performing its constitutional obligation. In the other, restraint is exercised to avoid constitutional conflicts. The comparison is like apples and oranges. Finally, I disagree that this Court should listen to the expression of opinions by individual Bar members “in the privacy of the polling booth.” As Justice Nelson pointed out, it is this Court’s constitutional obligation to control the practice of law in this state. Anyone who has an intelligent or rational suggestion about how that responsibility can be effectively carried out is welcome to and has had the opportunity to express that opinion. The only message that can be inferred from the results of the polling booth is that a majority of those members of the profession who voted on the dues increase issue would rather sacrifice Bar programs from which they may not feel a direct benefit than increase their own overhead. Justice Rice advises caution absent an emergency. Fortunately, our constitution does not condition this Court’s responsibility to govern and control the practice of law on the existence of an emergency. Government that reacts only to emergencies is doomed to failure. For these reasons, I join in the Court’s order amending the State’s by-laws and imposing a dues increase on the membership of the State Bar of Montana.

The class of active members shall include all members of the State Bar except the judicial members, inactive members, active military service members, senior members, emeritus members, resigned members and paralegal associate members. The class of judicial members shall include elected or appointed members of the Montana judicial system who devote full time professional activity as judges, and retired judges who are eligible for temporary judicial assignment and are not engaged in the practice of law. The Montana judicial system includes Supreme Court justices, district court judges, the water judge, the workers’ compensation judge, attorneys serving as justices of the peace, attorneys serving as city judges, federal administrative law judges residing in Montana, and federal trial, appellate and bankruptcy judges residing in Montana. Judicial status shall also be accorded to members of the State Bar who are justices or judges of other courts of record of the United States or of the several states, or who are retired from such courts and are not engaged in the practice of law. The class of inactive members shall include those persons who are eligible for active membership but are not engaged in the practice of law in Montana and have filed with the association written notice requesting enrollment in the class of inactive members. The class of active military service members shall include those who are full time active military service of the United States. The class of senior members shall include those who are 70 years and older who are not engaged in the practice of law in Montana. The class of emeritus members shall include members who have applied for and been granted emeritus status pursuant to subsection (g) of this section. The class of resigned members shall include those who were previously a member of the State Bar of Montana but resigned his or her membership. The class of paralegal associate members shall include those who have voluntarily enrolled as paralegal associate members. (b) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this section, only active and active military service members may practice law. No person other than an enrolled active member or active military service member of the State Bar shall practice in this state or in any manner hold himself out as authorized or qualified to practice law. (c) “Voting” members are active, active military service and judicial members except Supreme Court justices. Only voting members may hold office or vote in any election conducted by the State Bar, except that paralegal associate members may vote for and become officers in the Paralegal Section. (d) Any judicial member who is no longer serving in a judicial office may change his or her classification to that of an active or inactive member by filing with the State Bar office a written request for transfer to the class of active or inactive members and by paying the applicable dues. (e) Readmission of inactive, emeritus, or senior members to active status shall be by application in writing, verified by the

petitioner, filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and entails satisfaction of all of the following requirements: (i) payment of dues for active membership, for the year in which they are reactivated, as set forth in Section 4; (ii) completion of CLE, as might be ordered by the Supreme Court and in accord with the Rules of Mandatory Continuing Legal Education; (iii) payment of all license taxes, including those waived during emeritus or senior status, in compliance with Section 3761-211, MCA. (iv) This provision is effective immediately on approval and applies to all cases in which reactivation is sought. (f) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this section, no inactive, emeritus, or senior member or Supreme Court justice shall practice law in this state or shall hold office or vote in any election conducted by the State Bar. No judicial member shall practice law in this state. (g) A member who is granted status as an emeritus attorney may practice law only as provided in this subsection. Emeritus status will be awarded upon application to a lawyer member who: (i) has been engaged in the active practice of law for a minimum of 10 out of the 15 years immediately preceding the application for emeritus status or has judicial status; (ii) has no record of public discipline for professional misconduct imposed at any time within the past 15 years by the courts of the State of Montana, any commission of the Montana Supreme Court, or any other jurisdiction in which the member is admitted, and did not resign or retire from the practice of law with disciplinary charges pending; (iii) agrees to abide by the Rules of Professional Conduct and submit to the jurisdiction of the Montana Supreme Court for disciplinary purposes; (iv) neither asks for nor receives compensation of any kind for the legal services authorized hereunder; and (v) does not engage in the practice of law except in association with a qualified provider of legal services in Montana to persons unable to pay for such services. For purposes of this section, a “qualified provider” is a not-for-profit legal aid organization that is approved by the State Bar’s Access to Justice committee and provides malpractice insurance that will cover the emeritus member. (vi) To retain emeritus status once approved, the member must annually complete 25 hours of pro bono legal services through a qualified provider. If the member fails to complete the 25 required hours of pro bono service by April 1, they will no longer be eligible for emeritus status and will become an inactive member. (h) Readmission of resigned members shall follow the procedures set forth in the Supreme Court Rules of Admission and the Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement. (i) Readmission of active military members to active or inactive status shall be made in writing and filed with the State Bar office and requires payment of membership dues for the year in which they are reactivated as such.

Section 4 - Membership Dues

(a) Effective March 1, 2009, annual dues for each active member who has been admitted to practice in this state shall be two hundred dollars ($200), except a member’s dues for the year of admission shall be fifty ($50.00) dollars. Effective March 1, 2009, the annual dues for those persons qualifying as inactive members prior to the commencement of the fiscal year for which dues are payable shall be one hundred twenty-five dollars ($125). The annual dues for those persons qualifying as senior members prior to the commencement of the fiscal year for which dues are payable, shall be $50.00. There shall be no annual dues for judicial, emeritus, or active military service

members. The annual dues for paralegal associate members shall be determined by the Board of Trustees. All active members shall pay, in addition to membership dues and at the same time, an assessment to the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection. The amount of the assessment shall be determined annually by the Board of Trustees, but may not exceed thirty-five dollars ($35.00). All dues and assessments paid for the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection shall be paid to the State Bar. The dues shall constitute a fund for the payment of the expenses of the association. The payment made for the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection and indemnity bond, if any, shall be used for that purpose only. Dues are in addition to the annual license fee. Active military service members are required to pay all Court ordered assessments. Those assessments include but are not limited to the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection, the assessment for the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and the annual license fee. (b) To the extent State Bar funds derived from members’ dues are employed to the furtherance of the Bar’s mandate in Article III of the Constitution of the State Bar, which includes among other things the duty to participate in “improving the administration of justice and law reform,” by lobbying in the State Legislature, duespaying members may, upon application, be refunded an aliquot portion of their dues in the manner prescribed by the Board of Trustees pursuant to this subsection. The amounts of money pertinent to each piece of legislation upon which the State Bar of Montana has lobbied shall be announced by publication in the June issue of The Montana Lawyer following the regular session of the Legislature, with the position, if any, taken by the State Bar of Montana stated therein. Refund applications shall refer to bill or resolution numbers and a claim for refund made accordingly. Claims must be made by July 10, and payments will be made by August 1 of each legislative year. If the State Bar expends dues funds in connection with public positions apart from the Legislature, such as filing an amicus brief, the Board of Trustees shall establish a refund procedure similar to the procedure for lobbying, including notice in The Montana Lawyer of the position taken, the amount expended, and the right of members to an aliquot refund of dues. (c) The date for the payment of dues and assessments shall be April 1 of each year except when: (i) the Section of the By-Laws relating to membership dues is amended; then the date for payment of dues and assessments shall be thirty (30) days after notice of the change is sent to the members. (ii) a person is first admitted to practice law in Montana; then the date for payment of dues and assessments shall be at the time of admission. (d) The State Bar office shall mail statements of dues and assessments not less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date to all members. A second notice shall be sent to any member whose dues or assessments remain unpaid on the due date. The second notice shall specify that said member will be suspended unless his or her dues and assessments, plus a $25.00 late payment penalty, are paid within thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of such notice. The membership of any member who does not pay his or her dues and assessments, plus the $25.00 late payment penalty, within thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of the second notice shall be suspended. No person whose membership is suspended for nonpayment of dues and assessments shall practice law during the period of such suspension. (e) When a person is first admitted to practice law in Montana he or she shall pay membership dues and assessments for the full fiscal year in which said admission occurs. (f) When a person is first admitted as a paralegal associate member he or she shall pay membership dues and assessments for the full fiscal year in which said admission occurs. (g) (i) The names of all active members suspended from

membership for non-payment of dues or assessments shall be certified by the Executive Director to all courts of record in the State of Montana and to The Montana Lawyer magazine for publication until the suspension is corrected after twenty (20) days written notice of intent to certify is sent to each suspended member. (ii) Whenever a lawyer member suspended for non-payment of membership dues makes full payment of the amount owing by credit card, cashier’s check or money order only, and in addition thereto the sum of $100.00 for each delinquent payment of annual dues or assessments in arrears, he or she shall be reinstated as a member and the fact of such reinstatement shall be certified by the Executive Director to all parties to whom notice of suspension was sent. However, in the case of any lawyer whose membership dues or assessments are in arrears for a period of three or more consecutive years, no application for reinstatement shall be granted unless ordered by the Montana Supreme Court. In case of hardship the Board of Trustees may order waiver of dues or penalties. A request for a waiver of dues or penalties must be made in writing and filed with the State Bar office and must provide documentation of financial hardship and circumstances. (h) Whenever a lawyer member files with the State Bar office a written notice of such member’s surrender of his or her license to practice law, such person shall thereupon cease to be a member of the State Bar, and his or her name shall be removed from the membership register. Resignation of membership does not terminate any disciplinary matters that may be ongoing before the Supreme Court. (i) Members who change their status from active to inactive or senior during the course of a fiscal year may not receive a refund for the difference in dues between active and inactive or senior. (j) Members may submit payment for all dues and fees by firm check, money order or credit card. (k) To the extent the mechanisms exist to permit the practice, the State Bar may send notice to members and members may submit payment and records of compliance with the requirements listed in Section 5 via electronic mail. The use of the term “mail” in these by-laws means, where available, electronic mail.

Section 5 - Practice Requirements (a) To practice law in the state courts of Montana, members shall: (i) have paid dues for active membership, as set forth in Section 4; (ii) completed all continuing legal education, as set forth in the Rules for Mandatory Continuing Legal Education; (iii) have paid all license taxes, including those waived during emeritus or senior status; (iv) be free of suspension or other discipline imposed by the Montana Supreme Court Commission on Practice or through Rule 10 of the Rules on Fee Arbitration. (b) The practice of law by any member who fails to satisfy the elements listed in (a) may constitute a misdemeanor in accord with §37-61-214, may preclude the collection of attorneys fees in accord with §37-61-215, may constitute contempt of court in accord with §37-61-210, MCA, and may be subject to prosecution by the Montana Supreme Court’s Commission on Unauthorized Practice.

CHAPTER III THE JUDICIARY, PUBLIC AND EXTERNAL ENTITIES

3-105 Equal Rights Amendment The State Bar of Montana endorses the concept of equal equality for all citizens. The proposed 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex.” The State of Montana ratified the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1974. The State Bar of Montana endorses the ratification of the 27th Amendment to the United States Constitution, known as the Equal Rights Amendment, and opposes any attempt to rescind the ratification of the Amendment by the State of Montana.

3- 106 Pro Bono Supported The State Bar of Montana encourages all members of the State Bar to participate in a pro bono referral program established by the Montana Legal Services Association or a local bar association in order to preserve the concept of Montana Legal Services and to assist in providing legal services for those unable to pay.

3 - 107 Lobbying Process One of the purposes of the State Bar expressed in Article III of its Constitution, is to “provide a forum for the discussion of and effective action concerning subjects pertaining to the practice of

law, the science of jurisprudence and law reform, and relations to the bar to the public....”. In order to meet these objectives the Bar may take positions on these issues and may promote those positions by legislative lobbing, filing amicus briefs, and other activities. The State Bar recognizes that it is an organization of individuals with diverse interests, backgrounds and philosophies. Consequently, there may be disagreement among the membership with almost any position that is adopted. The Bar also recognizes it is governed by elected representatives who are entrusted with the power and responsibility to manage and direct the affairs of the organization. Recognizing these facts, the Bar should neither forego taking positions on issues because some members may disagree, nor should it overlook the opinions and beliefs of dissenting members. Members who disagree with positions taken by the Bar can, when appropriate, seek a pro rate refund of dues as provided in the By-Laws. In addition, the right of those members to express their views in The Montana Lawyer, and to attempt to change or implement a policy through elections and through the referendum and annual meeting resolution procedures provided in the ByLaws is expressly recognized. The State Bar may adopt a position on an issue and may take action to further that position, including the expenditure of funds, in any of the following ways: 1. By referendum of the membership on the issue adopted as provided in the By-Laws and Policies of the Bar; 2. By resolution of the membership at the annual meeting, as provided in the By-Laws and Policies of the Bar; 3. By a resolution adopted by 2/3 vote of the full membership of the Board of Trustees; 4. By a resolution adopted by a 2/3 vote of the full membership of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees when an issue arises in such a way that it is impractical to have consideration by the full Board. All such decisions will be reported to the full Board at its next meeting. 5. If a position is adopted by referendum or resolution, the Board of Trustees may by majority vote determine what, if any, further action the Bar should take with regard to that position. 6. Notice of any position adopted by the Bar shall be given in the next issue of The Montana Lawyer. Whichever decision-making procedure is followed, the State Bar may take a position on issues that arise from the following areas: 1. Issues relating to the regulation and discipline of attorneys; 2. Issues relating to the functioning of the courts, and to judicial efficiency and efficacy; 3. Issues relating to the availability of legal services; 4. Issues relating to attorney client trust accounts; 5. Issues relating to the education, ethics, integrity and regulation of the legal profession; 6. Issues relating to law reform, adoption of uniform laws and statutory improvement. If an issue(s) falls outside of the preceding list, the State Bar may take a position if: 1. The issue is of great public interest; 2. Lawyers are especially suited to evaluate and explain the issue to the public, and; 3. The subject matter affects the rights of those likely to come into contact with the legal system. The Bar should avoid, to the extent possible, those issues which carry the potential for deep philosophical or emotional division among the membership. The Bar will not take a position in, nor make a contribution of any kind to, any campaign for political office, but may do so with regard to initiatives and referenda.

3 - 108 Lobbying by Sections Sections may propose legislation, appear at or submit written testimony to legislative committee hearings, or engage in any other activity to support or oppose legislation under the conditions provided in this section. 1. A section may propose legislation that relates to the purposes of the section as reflected in the section’s bylaws. 2.1 If a section wishes to propose legislation, it must, no later than fourteen days prior to the Board of Trustees’ December meeting preceding the next legislative session, submit to the Executive Director a request for approval. The request must include a detailed description of the objective of the legislation to be proposed and a final draft of the bill as it will be submitted to the legislative drafting process. The Executive Director will place the request on the agenda of the December Trustees’ meeting. At the meeting, a representative of the Section must appear and explain the proposal. The Section may secure the introduction of the bill only if the Board of Trustees votes to approve the rerquest. 2.2 The Section must inform the Executive Director of all committee hearings on the bill and any significant amendments the Section proposes to offer or support. 2.3 The Section must comply with any directions it receives from the Executive Committee with regard to the Section’s activities related to the bill. 3. A Section must inform the Executive Director of its intention to testify or lobby in favor of or against any legislation. The Section must comply with any directions it receives from the Executive Committee related to the Section’s activities regarding the bill. 4. In all legislative contacts, the Section must clearly explain that it is acting on behalf of the Section and not the State Bar as a whole, unless otherwise authorized by the Executive Committee in advance. 5. No membership dues funds will be spent on these activities, but a Section may spend its own dues as provided in the By-Laws. 6. The proposed legislation must first be presented to all Section members for a vote of approval by a majority vote of the members of the Section voting. Notice of the content of the proposed legislation must be mailed or emailed to all members of the Section at least two (2) weeks before the vote. The approval vote may occur at a Section meeting or by mail ballot or by e-mail ballot, provided that if a vote at a Section meeting occurs, then all Section members not attending the meeting shall be afforded the opportunity to vote via mail or e-mail ballot. The outcome of the vote must be presented to the Executive Director in conjunction with the request for approval as set forth in Paragraph 2.1. 7. Nothing in this policy is intended to prohibit members of the State Bar from sponsoring or supporting particular legislation, but to restrict the suggestion or implication that the State Bar of Montana or any other one of its sections or committees sponsor or support particular legislation.

3 - 109 Objections to Use of Dues (a) Use of Dues. The purposes of the State Bar of Montana are set out in Article III of its Constitution, the Preamble of the By-Laws of the State Bar of Montana, the 1974 Order unifying the State Bar in In re President of the Montana Bar Association, 163 Mont 523 518 P.2d 32 (1974) and the Order granting a dues increase in In re the Petition of the State Bar of Montana for a Dues Increase, 2001 MT 108 [need cite]. The State Bar of Montana may not engage in political or ideological activities involving the expenditure of compulsory membership dues unless the Board of Directors or the Executive Committee determines that the activity is reasonably related to the the Bar’s stated purposes.

(b) Publication of Expenditures and Activities. The State Bar shall publish annually a statement setting out the total amount of any expenditures that it has made for political or ideological purposes. In addition, the Bar shall publish notice of any adoption of a legislative position, whether in support or in opposition, in the next feasible issue of the Montana Lawyer after the meeting at which the position was adopted. (c) Objections. An active member of the State Bar of Montana may, within forty-five 45 days of the date of publication, file with the Executive Director a written objection to a particular position or political or ideological expenditure, or the failure of the Bar to properly classify a particular expenditure as political or ideological. Failure to object within this time period shall constitute a waiver of any right to object to the particular issue or expenditure. (1) After a written objection has been received, the Executive Director shall promptly determine the pro rata amount to the objecting member’s dues at issue and such amount shall be placed in an escrow pending determination of the merits of the objection. (2) Up the deadline for receipt of written objections, the Board of Trustees shall have forty-five (45) days in which to decide whether to give a pro rata refund to an objecting member or to refer the action to arbitration. (d) Arbitrator. Any objections to a legislative position or a political or ideological expenditure of the State Bar may be referred by the Board of Directors to an arbitrator, who shall be mutually selected by the State Bar of Montana and objecting member(s). If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the First Judicial District Court of the State of Montana shall appoint the arbitrator. (e) Procedures for Arbitration. Upon a decision by the Board of Trustees that the matter shall be referred to arbitration, the State Bar shall promptly prepare a written response to the objection and serve a copy on the objecting member(s). Such response and objection shall be forwarded to the arbitrator as soon as the arbitrator is selected. The arbitrator shall thereafter hold a hearing and decide whether the legislative matters or expenditures at issue are constitutionally appropriate for funding from mandatory State Bar dues. (1) The arbitrator’s jurisdiction shall be limited to determining whether the legislative matter or expenditure at issue was within those acceptable activities for which compulsory dues may e used under applicable constitutional law; and if so, the amount of the pro rata rebate to the objecting member(s). (2) The proceedings shall be informal in nature and shall not be governed by the rules of evidence. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding as to the objecting member(s) and the State Bar. If the arbitrator concludes that the expenditure at issue is inappropriately funded from mandatory dues, the arbitrator shall order a refund of the pro rata amount of dues to the objecting member(s). The arbitrator’s award may be confirmed, vacated, modified, corrected, stayed or appealed pursuant to MCA section 27-5-311, et seq. (3) The arbitrator shall render a final written report to the objecting member(s) and the Board of Trustees within forty-five (45) days of the selection of the arbitrator. (4) In the event the arbitrator orders a refund, the State Bar shall provide the refund within thirty (30) days of the date of the arbitration report, together with interest calculated at the statutory rate from the date on which the objecting member(s) dues payment was received. (f) Cost of Arbitration. The arbitrator’s fee and expenses shall be borne by the State Bar unless the arbitrator finds that the objection lacked merit, in which case the objecting member shall bear the entire cost of the arbitration, including the arbitrator’s fee and expenses. Each party shall bear their own attorney’s fees

and expenses incurred in preparing for the arbitration or appeal.

3 - 110 Use of Organization Name and Logo (a) Purpose and Objective. The State Bar of Montana’s name, logo, and other marks (collectively “the marks”) are valuable property of the State Bar of Montana, protectable under state and federal law. In order to avoid inadvertent or purposeful misuse of the marks by external persons or entities, the Board of Trustees adopts the following policy. (b) Impermissible Uses. Except upon the express, written permission or license of the State Bar of Montana, no person or entity may use the marks for commercial purposes. Such commercial purposes include without limitation: use to indicate endorsement by the State Bar of Montana of products or services, (c) Permissible Uses. The following uses of the marks is automatically permitted (and an implied license given) in the following limited circumstances: (1) by members of the State Bar of Montana (including firms or associations of members) to indicate membership 1 affiliation with the State Bar of Montana without indication or the appearance of endorsement by the State Bar of Montana of the member’s products or services; (2) by persons or entities for non-commercial purposes (i.e. for information or comment) to provide a webpage link or other contact information of the State Bar of Montana; (3) by ABA-accredited educational institutions and educators therein for purposes of instruction; and (4) by organizations currently approved by the Board of Trustees under 2-141. (d) Protection of the Marks. The State Bar of Montana, through its Executive Committee, shall take reasonable measures to protect the State Bar of Montana’s interests in the marks, including but not limited to: (1) seeking trademark registration under state or federal law; (2) requesting all users of the marks to use a trademark disclaimer (superscript “TM” for trademark, “SM” for service mark or “®” for a federally-registered mark) where appropriate to indicate the State Bar of Montana’s claim of trademark rights in the marks, and as a condition of the use of the marks (whether expressed or implied); (3) requesting unauthorized users of the marks to cease and desist such use.

3-111 Social Networking Policy for State Bar of Montana Entities (a) Administering the social networking site Each State Bar Entity desiring a social network presence will designate a representative to serve as its administrator. Site administration, including set up, content development and management, and administration of these policies, is the responsibility of the sponsoring Entity, which shall appoint an individual to administer the social network site (“Site Administrator”). The Site Administrator will provide the State Bar staff liaison with administrative access to the social network in the event emergency assistance is needed. Entities are responsible -- in conjunction with their respective Site Administrators and all those individuals participating in a social network established under this policy -- for complying with these guidelines. (b) Guidelines for social networking In sum, be professional, respectful, and discreet in your online dialog. Represent the State Bar and your profession well. Exercise good judgment. State Bar members who fail to do so, or who fail to comply with these guidelines, may not only forfeit the right to participate in social networking activities sponsored by the State Bar, but may also be subject to penalties and discipline for failing to adhere to applicable Rules of Professional Conduct,

as well as civil or criminal liability and penalties, as warranted. 1. Be responsible. You are personally responsible for the material you post. All statements must be true and not misleading. Carefully consider content; what you publish will be widely accessible for some time and, in some cases, indefinitely. Protect your privacy and the privacy of others, and adhere to all statutory prescriptions and Professional Rules of Conduct governing the privacy of individuals and confidential information of your clients. 2. Be upfront, identify yourself. Your honesty - or dishonesty - will be quickly noticed in the social networking environment. Use your real name, and, if relevant, your role or interest in the topic discussed. When appropriate, make it clear you are speaking for yourself and not on the State Bar’s behalf. 3. Be civil, respectful. It’s okay to disagree with others, but do not use defamatory, abusive, threatening, offensive, or obscene language or post illegal material. 4. Be quick to correct an error. If you make a mistake, admit it. Quickly provide the correct information. If appropriate, modify an earlier post to make it clear that you have corrected an error. 5. Keep it relevant, add value. Write about what you know. Information can add value if it contributes to the legal community’s knowledge or skills, improves the legal system or public understanding of the legal system, or builds a sense of community. 6. Follow copyright and fair use laws. Always give people proper credit for their work. Make sure you have the right to use material with attribution before publishing. It’s a good practice to link to others’ work rather than reproducing it on your site. When in doubt, as to the proprietary nature of material, don’t use it. Recognize the potential professional and legal consequences of any failure to follow applicable laws governing the use of others’ material. 7. Protect proprietary and client information. Do not discuss or misuse proprietary or confidential information, and follow all professional and ethical rules governing the disclosure of information shared with you by clients. When in doubt, leave it out. 8. Refrain from endorsements of political candidates. The activities of the State Bar are defined by Montana Supreme Court rules, and those rules apply to social networking activity. As a membership organization, the State Bar needs to avoid even the appearance that it directly or indirectly endorses or financially supports candidates for political office. 9. C o m p l y w i t h M o n t a n a r u l e s g o v e r n i n g l a w y e r adve rti si n g . C o mp l y w i th a l l re stri cti o n s governing legal advertising when posting content to any social network, including one being administered by an Entity. 10. Do not violate antitrust laws. Antitrust laws prohibit postings that encourage or facilitate agreements between State Bar members concerning the following, as they pertain to legal services: prices, discounts, or terms or conditions of sale; salaries; profits, profit margins or cost data; market shares, sales territories, or markets; allocation of customers or suppliers; or any other term or condition related to competition. 11. Abide by the social network’s rules. By joining a particular social network, you agree to abide by that community’s terms of use, so review those terms carefully. (c) Using the State Bar’s name and/or logo State Bar entities may incorporate the State Bar’s name and/or logo into their social networking identity with prior approval from the State Bar. To create consistency and community on the Web, the State Bar has established standard logo templates, disclaimers, and naming conventions. The Site Administrator for an Entity must work with assigned staff liaison from the State Bar to coordinate approval, the development of the social network graphic, and other site requirements.

(d) Enforcing this policy The State Bar does not actively monitor these sites for inappropriate postings. If an inappropriate posting is brought to the attention of the State Bar, however, the State Bar will take appropriate action to enforce this policy. Amended September 16, 2010

Carry out the mandate of Article III of the State Bar Constitution “...to foster and maintain and require on the part of those engaged in the practice of law high standards of integrity, learning, competence, public service and conduct...” 2. Provide advisory ethics opinions to the members of the State Bar and publish those of general interest, with a central register of opinions kept with other resource materials at the State Bar office in Helena. 3. Review the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by the Montana Supreme Court and work with the Professionalism Committee and CLE Institute to educate Bar members regarding the changes.

I - Charter

State Bar of Montana 1. Bar Counsel will disseminate the opinion request to

A. To carry out the mandate of Article III of the State Bar Con stitution: “. . . to foster and maintain and require on the part of those engaged in the practice of law high standards of integrity, learning, competence, public service, and conduct. . . .”; B. To review the Rules of Professional Conduct adopted by the Montana Supreme Court and recommend changes; C. To provide advisory ethics opinions to the members of the State Bar and publish those of general interest; and, D. To establish a central register of ethics opinions and other resource materials at the State Bar office in Helena.

II - Practical Scope of Activity A. The Committee will provide formal and informal advisory opinions as well as verbal counsel in response to inquiries from members in good standing of the State Bar of Montana about the application of the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct to prospective conduct of lawyers. 1. Inquiries from non-lawyers are generally complaints from clients about the past conduct of their attorney or parties about the past conduct of opposing counsel. The inquiring party will be referred to the Commission on Practice where appropriate with a brief explanation of the limits of the committee’s function. 2. Inquiries from out-of-state organizations seeking a “seal of approval” for marketing or referral programs which are proposed for implementation in Montana will generally be declined. Inquiries from members of the State Bar of Montana about prospective participation in such programs will be addressed. 3. Committee opinions will not address the conduct of members of the judiciary except as necessary in opining on the conduct of a practicing member of the bar. 4. Committee opinions will not be rendered on issues pendent to filed litigation. B. Opinions of the Committee are not subject to appeal to or approval of the Trustees of the State Bar but may be reconsidered by the Committee at any time whether on rerequest or sua sponte. C. Opinions will be predicated on the Committee’s interpretation of the Rules of Professional Conduct in effect in Montana at the time the opinion is published. Opinions rendered under prior versions of the Rules or Canons will remain in effect to the extent consistent with current standards and not expressly overruled or limited by more recent opinions.

III - Procedural Matters A. The consent of a majority of the members of the Committee will be sufficient to support the promulgation and publication of an opinion of the Committee. 1. Failure of a member to object to the text of a draft opinion circulated for comment prior to publication within ten days of mailing will be deemed consent by that member to the content of that opinion and its publication as dealing with matters of “general interest.” 2. A minority opinion in the form of a special concurrence or dissent may be included as part of any published opinion at the request of one or more members of the Committee with the requesting member or members being responsible for providing the text of the minority opinion for timely promulgation and publication with the majority opinion. B. Opinion requests should be directed to Bar Counsel at the State Bar office in writing setting forth a complete statement of the facts that provide the basis for the request together with a summary of the research of issues presented that has been done by the requesting attorney including reference to particular Rules of Professional Conduct believed to be involved.

Committee members. 2. Bar Counsel will coordinate with Committee members and with the Committee’s legal intern to prepare a draft opinion. The draft will be circulated to Committee members within a reasonable time from receipt of the opinion request. C. Opinion requests and the identity of the requesting attorney will be kept confidential except when release is consented to by the requesting attorney or the requesting attorney or a member of that attorney’s firm uses the opinion in his or her defense to subsequent disciplinary action. D. Publication of opinions of the Committee shall include publication in the Montana Lawyer, the ABA/BNA Lawyer’s Manual on Professional Conduct, and dissemination on the MontLaw online computer service. A master hard copy of the opinions of the Ethics Committee of the State Bar of Montana, with index, will be maintained at the State Bar office in Helena, including a computer disk containing the same material in Word Perfect or Microsoft Word format. E. Informal advisory opinions may be rendered by a subgroup of the Committee in order that our response to lawyer inquiries be as timely as possible under the circumstances. 1. Informal opinions will represent the views of at least three members of the Committee on the inquiry received. Upon receipt of an inquiry, the Chair or Vice Chair of the Committee will appoint an ad hoc subgroup of three or four members, tailoring the subgroup’s experience and areas of practice to the question presented. 2. An informal opinion may be expressed orally (but preferably in writing) to the requesting attorney but must be reduced to a written memorandum by a member of the subgroup which gives the informal opinion. The oral or written expression of an informal opinion must include a caveat advising the requesting attorney that it is advisory and represents the views of only a subgroup of the Committee and, accordingly, should not be regarded with the deference that a published opinion would. The written memorandum will be forwarded to Bar Counsel who will maintain a copy in the Committee files and circulate it to all members of the Committee for comment. 3. The informal opinion memorandum must include a summary of the request, the response given, the basic analysis which supports the response, and one or more broad subject index headings taken from the index of formal opinions to facilitate retrieval of the informal opinion whenever it may bear on subsequent informal opinions or published opinions. 4. If the informal opinion evokes significant criticism from the Committee, it will be clarified in writing to the requesting attorney as soon as possible. 5. If deemed to be of “general interest”, an informal opinion may be elaborated upon and with the concurrence of a majority of the Committee published as an opinion of the Committee. F. Verbal counsel concerning the Rules of Professional Conduct may be rendered orally by any member of the Committee to the extent the counselor is comfortable doing so. The counselor must include a caveat advising the requesting attorney that (a) the counsel is advisory; (b) represents the view of the member only and not the opinion of the Committee, and (c) should be given the same weight or deference as that of a peer consultation. The counselor shall keep a record of the advice given. G. Bar counsel is available to the Committee and to members of the bar to coordinate resources, disseminate materials and information and assist in the promulgation of the Committee’s opinions. November 1, 1995.

RULES ON ARBITRATION OF FEE DISPUTES Rule I - Purpose

State Bar of Montana

1.1 It is the policy of the Supreme Court of Montana to encourage the informal resolution of fee disputes between attorneys who practice law in Montana and their clients. In the event such informal resolution cannot be achieved, the Supreme Court of Montana hereby establishes through adoption of these rules, a program and procedures for the arbitration of disputes concerning any and all fees and/or costs paid, charged, or claimed for professional services by attorneys. These rules do not apply to disputes between attorneys with respect to sharing of fees. 1.2 In lieu of these remedies for arbitration of fee disputes, the parties may wish to pursue binding arbitration under the provisions of the Uniform Arbitration Act, Sections 27-5-111 through 27-5-324, MCA. To do so, the parties must enter into a binding arbitration agreement as required under applicable state or federal law. 1.3 The following disputes are exempt from the operation of these rules: (a) disputes which are subject to a valid arbitration agreement under applicable state or federal law; and (b) disputes which are the subject of litigation filed prior to actual receipt of the Petition by the State Bar of Montana. An attorney’s lien shall not exempt the dispute from these rules. (c) disputes regarding fees established by law, a court or administrative panel, including but not limited to bankruptcy cases and worker’s compensation cases. 1.4 Nothing in these rules is intended to interfere with or supersede the powers and authority of the Commission on Practice or applicable statutes of limitation. 1.5 Once a Petition for Arbitration is filed with the State Bar, a lawsuit cannot be commenced by any party, until this process has been completed by the issuance of a written decision under Rule 8.2, dismissal under Rule 5.6, or withdrawal by mutual agreement of the parties under Rule 5.8.

Rule II - Definitions “Attorney” means a person admitted to the practice of law in Montana, or any other person who appears, participates or otherwise engages in the practice of law in Montana, regardless of the status of his or her license. In these rules, the term “Attorney” includes an attorney’s assignee. “Board” means the three (3) persons chosen from a judicial district panel or statewide panel to act as arbitrators in a particular dispute and will consist of at least one attorney and one lay member. “Client” means a person or entity who directly or through an authorized representative consults, retains or secures legal service or advice from an attorney in the attorney’s professional capacity “Panel” means the entire list of attorneys and lay persons who make up the fee arbitration “panel” for each judicial district. “Statewide Panel” means all attorneys and lay persons currently serving on each judicial district panel who have actually acted as an arbitrator under these rules or the preceding “Rules on Voluntary Arbitration of Fee Disputes”.

Rule III - Administrative Matters - Setting Up Panels

3.1 The State Bar shall administer this program through its Executive Director. The State Bar will appoint members to the arbitration panel in various judicial districts, composed of an equal number of attorneys and lay persons who reside in the district. The initial term of appointment shall be three (3) years and such appointment may be renewed for a successive term or terms. In cases where there are an insufficient number of attorneys and/or lay persons for a panel, the matter will be reviewed by a panel in a judicial district chosen by the State Bar, based on availability of panelists. In such cases, either party may participate by telephone conference call at their own expense if requested if the location of

the hearing requires them to travel 100 miles or more. 3.2 The term of any board member which ends for any reason while an arbitration is pending shall be extended until such arbitration is concluded, but such extension shall not interfere with the State Bar’s power to appoint a successor to the judicial district panel. 3.3 The panel members in each judicial district shall be appointed from as broad a spectrum of the practicing Bar and general public as possible. 3.4 Each person appointed to a panel as provided in 3.1 shall also be a member of the statewide fee arbitration panel once that person has actually served as an arbitrator on a local board. Such statewide appointment shall be for the duration of their term on the local panel. Members of the statewide panel may be called upon in the event panelists are not available in a certain judicial district.

Rule IV - Amounts in Dispute Which may be Arbitrated Under These Rules Any disputed amount of $500.00 or more may be arbitrated. The disputed amount may include fees and costs paid, charged, or claimed for professional services by attorneys. If only a portion of a fee and/or costs is disputed, that portion must be at least $500.00. Rule V - Initiation of Proceedings 5.1 The forms required to initiate arbitration may be obtained from the State Bar of Montana, P.O. Box 577, Helena, MT 59624, (406) 442-7660, or from the Bar’s website: www.montanabar. org. The petitioner shall complete the Petition and sign two (2) Arbitration Agreements and file those documents with the State Bar.

2008 MONTANA CODE OF JUDICIAL CONDUCT

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

PREAMBLE [1] An independent, fair, and impartial judiciary is indispensable to our system of justice. The United States legal system is based upon the principle that an independent, impartial, and competent judiciary, composed of men and women of integrity, will interpret and apply the law that governs our society. Thus, the judiciary plays a central role in preserving the principles of justice and the rule of law. Inherent in all the Rules contained in this Code are the precepts that judges, individually and collectively, must respect and honor the judicial office as a public trust and strive to maintain and enhance confidence in the legal system. [2] Judges should maintain the dignity of judicial office at all times, and avoid both impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in their professional and personal lives. They should aspire at all times to conduct that ensures the greatest possible public confidence in their independence, impartiality, integrity, and competence. [3] The Code of Judicial Conduct establishes standards for the ethical conduct of judges and judicial candidates. It is not intended as an exhaustive guide for the conduct of judges and judicial candidates, who are governed in their judicial and personal conduct by general ethical standards as well as by the Code. The Code is intended, however, to provide guidance and assist judges in maintaining the highest standards of judicial and personal conduct, and to provide a basis for regulating their conduct through disciplinary agencies. SCOPE [1] The Code of Judicial Conduct consists of four Canons, numbered Rules under each Canon, and Comments that generally follow and explain each Rule. Scope and Terminology paragraphs provide additional guidance in interpreting and applying the Code. An Application paragraph establishes when the various Rules apply to a judge or judicial candidate. The Code is not designed or intended as a basis for civil or criminal liability. Neither is it intended to be the basis for litigants to seek to change a judge’s decision, to seek collateral remedies against each other, or to obtain tactical advantages in proceedings before a court. [2] The Canons state overarching principles of judicial ethics that all judges must observe. Although a judge may be disciplined only for violating a Rule, the Canons provide important guidance in interpreting the Rules. Where a Rule contains a permissive term, such as “may” or “should,” the conduct being addressed is committed to the personal and professional discretion of the judge or candidate in question, and no disciplinary action should be taken for action or inaction within the bounds of such discretion. [3] The Comments that accompany the Rules serve two functions. First, they provide guidance regarding the purpose, meaning, and proper application of the Rules. They contain explanatory material and, in some instances, provide examples of permitted or prohibited conduct. Comments neither add to nor subtract from the binding obligations set forth in the Rules. Therefore, when a Comment contains the term “must,” it does not mean that the Comment itself is binding or enforceable; it signifies that the Rule in question, properly understood, is obligatory as to the conduct at issue. [4] Second, the Comments identify aspirational goals for judges. To implement fully the principles of this Code as articulated in the Canons, judges should strive to exceed the standards of conduct established by the Rules, holding themselves to the highest ethical standards and seeking to achieve those aspirational goals, thereby enhancing the dignity of the judicial office. [5] The Rules of the Code of Judicial Conduct are rules of reason that should be applied consistent with constitutional requirements, statutes, other court rules, and decisional law, and with due regard for all relevant circumstances. The Rules should not be interpreted to impinge upon the essential independence of judges in making judicial decisions. [6] Although the black letter of the Rules is binding and enforceable, it is not contemplated that every transgression will result in the imposition of discipline. Whether discipline should be imposed should be determined through a reasonable and reasoned application of the Rules, and should depend upon factors such as the seriousness of the transgression, the facts and circumstances that existed at the time of the transgression, the extent of any pattern of improper activity, whether there have been previous violations, and the effect of the improper activity upon the judicial system or others. TERMINOLOGY The first time any term listed below is used in any given Rule in its defined sense, it is followed by an asterisk (*). “Appropriate authority” means the authority having responsibility for initiation of disciplinary process in connection with the violation to be reported. See Rule 2.16. “Contribution” means both financial and in-kind contributions, such as goods, professional or volunteer services, advertising, and other types of assistance, which, if obtained by the recipient otherwise, would require a financial expenditure. See Rules 3.7, 4.1, and 4.4. “Courts of limited jurisdiction” means justice courts, justice courts of record, city courts and municipal courts. Where the context allows and for simplicity, the justices of the peace and judges of such courts may be collectively referred to as judges. See Rules 2.9 and 2.10. “De minimis,” in the context of interests pertaining to disqualification of a judge, means an insignificant interest that could not raise a reasonable question regarding the judge’s impartiality. See Rule 2.12. “Domestic partner” means a person with whom another person maintains a household and an intimate relationship, other than a person to whom he or she is legally married. See Rules 2.12, 3.13, and 3.14. “Economic interest” means ownership of more than a de minimis legal or equitable interest. Except for situations in which the judge participates in the management of such a legal or equitable interest, or the interest could be substantially affected by the outcome of a proceeding before a judge, it does not include:

(1) an interest in the individual holdings within a mutual or common investment fund; (2) an interest in securities held by an educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic organization in which the judge or the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, or child serves as a director, an officer, an advisor, or other participant; (3) a deposit in a financial institution or deposits or proprietary interests the judge may maintain as a member of a mutual savings as sociation or credit union, or similar proprietary interests; or (4) an interest in the issuer of government securities held by the judge. See Rules 1.3, 2.12, and 3.2.

“Ex parte communication” is any oral communication to a judge concerning a pending or impending matter, outside the presence of all the parties to the proceeding or their attorneys or outside the confines of a duly noticed proceeding, or any written communication received by a judge that is not simultaneously provided to all parties or their attorneys. See Rules 2.9 and 2.10. “Fiduciary” includes relationships such as executor, administrator, trustee, or guardian. See Rules 2.12, 3.2, and 3.8.

“Impending matter” is a matter that is imminent or expected to occur in the near future. See Rule 2.9. “Impropriety” includes conduct that violates the law, court rules, or provisions of this Code, and conduct that undermines a judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality. See Canon 1, and Rules 1.2 and 3.10. “Independence” means a judge’s freedom from influence or controls other than those established by law. See Canons 1 and 4, and Rules 1.2, 3.1, 3.12, 3.13, and 4.2. “Independent candidate” means a candidate for a non-judicial public office who is not a member or representative of a political organization. See Rules 4.1 and 4.2. “Integrity” means probity, fairness, honesty, uprightness, and soundness of character. See Canons 1 and 4, and Rules 1.2, 3.1, 3.12, 3.13, and 4.2. “Judicial candidate” means any person, including a sitting judge, who is seeking selection for or retention in judicial office by election or appointment. A person becomes a candidate for judicial office as soon as he or she makes a public announcement of candidacy, declares or files as a candidate with the election or appointment authority, authorizes or, where permitted, engages in solicitation or acceptance of contributions or support, or is nominated for election or appointment to office. See Rules 2.12, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4. “Knowingly,” “knowledge,” “known,” and “knows” mean actual knowledge of the fact in question. A person’s knowledge may be inferred from circumstances. See Rules 2.12, 2.16, 2.17, 3.2, 3.5, 3.6, and 4.1. “Law” encompasses court rules as well as statutes, constitutional provisions, and decisional law. See Rules 1.1, 2.1, 2.2, 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 2.10, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.7, 3.9, 3.10, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14, 4.1, 4.2, and 4.4. “Member of the judge’s family” means a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent, or other relative or person with whom the judge maintains a close familial relationship. See Rules 3.7, 3.8, 3.10, and 3.11. “Member of a judge’s family residing in the judge’s household” means any relative of a judge by blood or marriage, or a person treated by a judge as a member of the judge’s family, who resides in the judge’s household. See Rules 2.12 and 3.13. “Nonpublic information” means information that is not available to the public. Nonpublic information includes any information regarding rulings or decisions the court is inclined to or intends to make, and any communications shared among judges during the decision-making process. It may also include, but is not limited to, information that is sealed by statute or court order or impounded or communicated in camera, and information offered in grand jury proceedings, presentencing reports, dependency cases, or psychiatric reports. See Rule 3.5. “Partisan candidate” means a candidate for public office who seeks election as a member of or representing a political organization. See Rules 4.1 and 4.2. “Pending matter” is a matter that has commenced. A matter continues to be pending through any appellate process until final disposition. See Rules 2.9, 2.11, and 4.1. “Political organization” means a political party or other group sponsored by or affiliated with a political party or candidate, the principal purpose of which is to further the election or appointment of candidates for political office. For purposes of this Code, the term does not include a judicial candidate’s campaign committee created as authorized by Rule 4.4. See Rules 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. “Public election” includes primary and general elections, partisan elections, nonpartisan elections, and retention elections. See Rule 4.4. “Third degree of relationship” includes the following persons: great-grandparent, grandparent, parent, uncle, aunt, brother, sister, child, grandchild, great-grandchild, nephew, and niece. See Rule 2.12. APPLICATION The Application paragraph establishes when the various Rules apply to a judge or judicial candidate. I.

“Impartial,” “impartiality,” and “impartially” mean absence of bias or prejudice in favor of, or against, particular parties or classes of parties, as well as maintenance of an open mind in considering issues that may come before a judge. See Canons 1, 2, and 4, and Rules 1.2, 2.2, 2.9, 2.11, 2.12, 2.14, 3.1, 3.12, 3.13, 4.1, and 4.2.

CANON 1 A JUDGE SHALL UPHOLD AND PROMOTE THE INDEPENDENCE, INTEGRITY, AND IMPARTIALITY OF THE JUDICIARY, AND SHALL AVOID IMPROPRIETY AND THE APPEARANCE OF IMPROPRIETY.

RULE 1.1 - Compliance with the Law A judge shall comply with the law,* including the Code of Judicial Conduct.

RULE 1.2 - Promoting Confidence in the Judiciary A judge shall act at all times in a manner that promotes public confidence in the independence,* integrity,* and impartiality* of the judiciary, and shall avoid impropriety* and the appearance of impropriety. COMMENT [1] Public confidence in the judiciary is eroded by improper conduct and conduct that creates the appearance of impropriety. This principle applies to both the professional and personal conduct of a judge. [2] A judge should expect to be the subject of public scrutiny that might be viewed as burdensome if applied to other citizens, and must accept the restrictions imposed by the Code. [3] Conduct that compromises or appears to compromise the independence, integrity, and impartiality of a judge undermines public confidence in the judiciary. Because it is not practicable to list all such conduct, the Rule is necessarily cast in general terms. [4] Judges should participate in activities that promote ethical conduct among judges and lawyers, support professionalism within the judiciary and the legal profession, and promote access to justice for all. [5] Actual improprieties include violations of law, court rules, or provisions of this Code. The test for appearance of impropriety is whether the conduct would create in reasonable minds a perception that the judge violated this Code or engaged in other conduct that reflects adversely on the judge’s honesty, impartiality, temperament, or fitness to serve as a judge. [6] A judge should initiate and participate in community outreach activities for the purpose of promoting public understanding of and confidence in the administration of justice. In conducting such activities, the judge must act in a manner consistent with this Code.

RULE 1.3 - Avoiding Abuse of Prestige of Judicial Office A judge shall not abuse the prestige of judicial office to advance the personal or economic interests* of the judge or others, or allow others to do so. COMMENT [1] It is improper for a judge to use or attempt to use his or her position to gain personal advantage or deferential treatment of any kind. For example, it would be improper for a judge to allude to his or her judicial status to gain favorable treatment in encounters with traffic officials. Similarly, a judge must not use judicial letterhead to gain an advantage in conducting his or her personal business. [2] A judge may provide a reference or recommendation for an individual based upon the judge’s personal knowledge. The judge may use official letterhead if the judge indicates that the reference is personal and if there is no likelihood that the use of the letterhead would reasonably be perceived as an attempt to exert pressure by reason of the judicial office. [3] Judges may participate in the process of judicial selection by cooperating with appointing authorities and screening committees, and by responding to inquiries from such entities concerning the professional qualifications of a person being considered for judicial office. [4] Special considerations arise when judges write or contribute to publications of for-profit entities, whether related or unrelated to the law. A judge should not permit anyone associated with the publication of such materials to exploit the judge’s office in a manner that violates this Rule or other applicable law. In contracts for publication of a judge’s writing, the judge should retain sufficient control over the advertising to avoid such exploitation.

CANON 2 A JUDGE SHALL PERFORM THE DUTIES OF JUDICIAL OFFICE IMPARTIALLY, COMPETENTLY, AND DILIGENTLY.

RULE 2.1 - Giving Precedence Judicial Office

to the

Duties

The duties of judicial office, as prescribed by law,* shall take precedence over all of a judge’s personal and extrajudicial activities. COMMENT [1] To ensure that judges are available to fulfill their judicial duties, judges must conduct their personal and extrajudicial activities to minimize the risk of conflicts that would result in frequent disqualification. See Canon 3. [2] Although it is not a duty of judicial office unless prescribed by law, judges are encouraged to participate in activities that promote public understanding of and confidence in the justice system.

RULE 2.2 - Impartiality and Fairness A judge shall uphold and apply the law,* and shall perform all duties of judicial office fairly and impartially.* COMMENT [1] To ensure impartiality and fairness to all parties, a judge must be objective and open-minded. [2] Although each judge comes to the bench with a unique background and personal philosophy, a judge must interpret and apply the law without regard to whether the judge approves or disapproves of the law in question. [3] When applying and interpreting the law, a judge sometimes may make good-faith errors of fact or law. Errors of this kind do not violate this Rule. [4] A judge should manage the courtroom in a manner that provides all litigants the opportunity to have their matters fairly adjudicated in accordance with the law. [5] A judge may make reasonable accommodations to ensure self-represented litigants the opportunity to have their matters fairly heard.

RULE 2.3 - Bias, Prejudice, and Harassment (A) A judge shall perform the duties of judicial office, including administrative duties, without bias or prejudice. (B) A judge shall not, in the performance of judicial duties, by words or conduct manifest bias or prejudice, or engage in harassment, including but not limited to bias, prejudice, or harassment based upon race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation, and shall not permit court staff, court officials, or others subject to the judge’s direction and control to do so. (C) A judge shall require lawyers in proceedings before the court to refrain from manifesting bias or prejudice, or engaging in harassment, based upon attributes including but not limited to race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation, against parties, witnesses, lawyers, or others. (D) The restrictions of paragraphs (B) and (C) do not preclude judges or lawyers from making legitimate reference to the listed factors, or similar factors, when they are relevant to an issue in a proceeding. COMMENT [1] A judge who manifests bias or prejudice in a proceeding impairs the fairness of the proceeding and brings the judiciary into disrepute. [2] Examples of manifestations of bias or prejudice include, but are not limited to, epithets; slurs; demeaning nicknames; negative stereotyping; attempted humor based upon stereotypes; threatening, intimidating, or hostile acts; suggestions of connections between race, ethnicity, or nationality and crime; and irrelevant references to personal characteristics. Even facial expressions and body language can convey to parties and lawyers in the proceeding, jurors, the media, and others an appearance of bias or prejudice. A judge must avoid conduct that may reasonably be perceived as prejudiced or biased. [3] Harassment, as referred to in paragraphs (B) and (C), is verbal or

RULE 2.4 - External Influences on Judicial Conduct

(A) A judge shall not be swayed by public clamor or fear of criticism. (B) A judge shall not permit family, social, political, financial, or other interests or relationships to influence the judge’s judicial conduct or judgment. (C) A judge shall not convey or permit others to convey the impression that any person or organization is in a position to influence the judge. COMMENT [1] An independent judiciary requires that judges decide cases according to the law and facts, without regard to whether particular laws or litigants are popular or unpopular with the public, the media, government officials, or the judge’s friends or family. Confidence in the judiciary is eroded if judicial decision making is perceived to be subject to inappropriate outside influences.

RULE 2.5 - Competence, Diligence, and Cooperation (A) A judge shall perform judicial and administrative duties competently and diligently. (B) A judge shall cooperate with other judges and court officials in the administration of court business. COMMENT [1] Competence in the performance of judicial duties requires the legal knowledge, skill, thoroughness, and preparation reasonably necessary to perform a judge’s responsibilities of judicial office. [2] A judge should seek the necessary docket time, court staff, expertise, and resources to discharge all adjudicative and administrative responsibilities. [3] Prompt disposition of the court’s business requires a judge to devote adequate time to judicial duties, to be punctual in attending court and expeditious in determining matters under submission, and to take reasonable measures to ensure that court officials, litigants, and their lawyers cooperate with the judge to that end. [4] In disposing of matters promptly and efficiently, a judge must demonstrate due regard for the rights of parties to be heard and to have issues resolved without unnecessary cost or delay. A judge should monitor and supervise cases in ways that reduce or eliminate dilatory practices, avoidable delays, and unnecessary costs. In accomplishing these critical goals in the increasing number of cases involving self-represented litigants, a judge may take appropriate steps to facilitate a self-represented litigant’s ability to be heard.

RULE 2.6 - Ensuring the Right to Be Heard (A) A judge shall accord to every person who has a legal interest in a proceeding, or that person’s lawyer, the right to be heard according to law.* (B) A judge may encourage parties to a proceeding and their lawyers to settle matters in dispute but shall not act in a manner that coerces any party into settlement. COMMENT [1] The right to be heard is an essential component of a fair and impartial system of justice. Substantive rights of litigants can be protected only if procedures protecting the right to be heard are observed. [2] The judge plays an important role in overseeing the settlement of disputes, but should be careful that efforts to further settlement do not undermine any party’s right to be heard according to law. The judge should keep in mind the effect that the judge’s participation in settlement discussions may have, not only on the judge’s own views of the case, but also on the perceptions of the lawyers and the parties if the case remains with the judge after settlement efforts are unsuccessful. Among the factors that a judge should consider when deciding upon an appropriate settlement practice for a case are: (1) whether the parties have requested or voluntarily consented to a certain level of

participation by the judge in settlement discussions, (2) whether the parties and their counsel are relatively sophisticated in legal matters, (3) whether the case will be tried by the judge or a jury, (4) whether the parties participate with their counsel in settlement discussions, (5) whether any parties are unrepresented by counsel, and (6) whether the matter is civil or criminal. [3] Judges must be mindful of the effect settlement discussions can have, not only on their objectivity and impartiality, but also on the appearance of their objectivity and impartiality. Despite a judge’s best efforts, there may be instances when information obtained during settlement discussions could influence a judge’s decision making during trial, and, in such instances, the judge should consider whether disqualification may be appropriate. See Rule 2.12(A)(1).

RULE 2.7 - Responsibility to Decide A judge shall hear and decide matters assigned to the judge, except when disqualification is required by Rule 2.12 or other law.* COMMENT [1] Judges must be available to decide the matters that come before the court. Although there are times when disqualification is necessary to protect the rights of litigants and preserve public confidence in the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary, judges must be available to decide matters that come before the courts. Unwarranted disqualification may bring public disfavor to the court and to the judge personally. The dignity of the court, the judge’s respect for fulfillment of judicial duties, and a proper concern for the burdens that may be imposed upon the judge’s colleagues require that a judge not use disqualification to avoid cases that present difficult, controversial, or unpopular issues.

RULE 2.8 - Decorum, Demeanor, and Communication with Jurors (A) A judge shall require order and decorum in proceedings before the court. (B) A judge shall be patient, dignified, and courteous to litigants, jurors, witnesses, lawyers, court staff, court officials, and others with whom the judge deals in an official capacity, and shall require similar conduct of lawyers, court staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge’s direction and control. (C) A judge shall not commend or criticize jurors for their verdict other than in a court order or opinion in a proceeding. COMMENT [1] The duty to hear all proceedings with patience and courtesy is not inconsistent with the duty imposed in Rule 2.5 to dispose promptly of the business of the court. Judges can be efficient and businesslike while being patient and deliberate. [2] Commending or criticizing jurors for their verdict may imply a judicial expectation in future cases and may impair a juror’s ability to be fair and impartial in a subsequent case. [3] A judge who is not otherwise prohibited by law from doing so may meet with jurors who choose to remain after trial but should be careful not to discuss the merits of the case.

RULE 2.9 - Ex Parte Communications; *Investigations - Courts of Limited Jurisdiction* (A) Except as permitted in paragraph (C) of this Rule, a judge of a court of limited jurisdiction shall not investigate the substantive facts, circumstances, or merits of a pending* or impending* matter. (B) Except as permitted in paragraph (D) of this Rule, a judge of a court of limited jurisdiction shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications.* (C) When circumstances or the interests of justice require it or when expressly authorized by law,* a judge of a court of limited jurisdiction may examine the criminal record, driving record, and on-line court records repository pertaining to a defendant in a pending or impending matter which is on file within an agency of the state of Montana for the purpose of determining whether the charge is lawful or for purposes of setting bail or sentencing. A judge may not amend the charge except on motion of the prosecutor and as otherwise provided by law. (D) When circumstances or the interests of justice require it or when

physical conduct that denigrates or shows hostility or aversion toward a person on bases such as race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, marital status, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation. [4] Sexual harassment includes but is not limited to sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that is unwelcome.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

expressly authorized by law, a judge of a court of limited jurisdiction may: (1) engage in ex parte communications involving adminis trative, ministerial or scheduling matters provided: (a) the judge reasonably believes that no party will gain a procedural or tactical advantage as a result of the ex parte communication; and (b) the judge notifies all other parties, if necessary to prevent any party from gaining a procedural or tactical advantage. (2) consult with court staff and court officials whose functions are to aid the judge in carrying out the judge’s adjudicative responsibilities, with other judges or with peace officers, prosecutors, and defense counsel provided: (a) that the judge avoids receiving factual information that is not a part of the record or part of the defendant’s criminal or driving record; and (b) that the judge does not abrogate his or her responsibility to personally adjudicate the matter fairly and impartially.* (3) receive ex parte communications in proceedings in open court if the prosecutor is not present, provided: (a) that the prosecutor has not otherwise informed the judge in writing of his or her desire or willingness to appear; and (b) that the judge shall not try a case to the court or to a jury without the presence of a prosecutor. (4) verify whether a party has a valid driver’s license and mandatory automobile insurance and whether a party is complying with any restitution requirement or conditions imposed in a sentence. (5) receive ex parte communications in proceedings involving temporary orders of protection provided that the respondent has been given notice and an opportunity to appear to the extent required by law. (6) Except as set forth in subparagraphs (1) through (5), if a judge receives an ex parte communication or other information having a potentially significant bearing upon the substance of a matter, the judge shall make provision promptly to notify the parties of the content of the communication or information and provide the parties with an opportunity to respond. If such communication or information is in writing, a copy of it shall be made available to the parties and retained. (E) A judge shall make reasonable efforts, including providing appropriate supervision, to ensure that this Rule is not violated by court staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge’s direction and control. COMMENT [1] This Rule is tailored to accommodate the unique circumstances in which Montana’s courts of limited jurisdiction operate. This Rule acknowledges that these courts exist in both large metropolitan and isolated rural locations; that the judges of these courts may or may not have clerks or other staff; that prosecutors may or may not be able to be present at all proceedings of the court; that it is necessary for these judges to sometimes speak directly with a party, peace officer, administrative personnel, or insurance agent to verify or clarify administrative or ministerial facts; and that such courts must administer large case loads consisting primarily of misdemeanor criminal and traffic offenses and civil matters involving amounts limited by law. [2] This Rule provides some flexibility to the judges of courts of limited jurisdiction in dealing with procedural, administrative, and ministerial matters, while retaining requirements that the judge may not independently investigate the substantive facts or merits of any pending or impending matter; that notice and opportunity to be heard be provided if the judge receives or obtains information which may have a significant bearing upon an pending or impending matter; and that the judge personally adjudicate the matter at issue impartially and fairly. While the judge may use discretion and common sense, those must be exercised in accordance with the law and keeping in mind constitutional rights of the parties. Nothing in this Rule abrogates the judge’s obligation to comply with all applicable laws, court rules, or administrative regulations. [3] The prohibition against a judge independently investigating the substantive facts or merits of any matter that is or may come before the court extends to information available in all mediums, including electronic. [4] Judges are admonished that they are members of a distinct

branch of government—the judiciary; that they are always to perform their duties as neutral and detached magistrates; and that they do not function as arms of local government, law enforcement, or as members of either the prosecution or defense “team.” Judges do not and may not “represent” either party. [5] This Code also controls the conduct of a judge if and when the judge functions as the court clerk or administrator.

RULE 2.10 - Ex Parte Communications* - All Courts Except for Courts of Limited Jurisdiction* (A) A judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, except as follows: (1) When circumstances require it, ex parte communication for scheduling, administrative, or emergency purposes, which does not address substantive matters, is permitted, provided: (a) the judge reasonably believes that no party will gain a procedural, substantive, or tactical advantage as a result of the ex parte communication; and (b) the judge makes provision promptly to notify all other parties of the content of the ex parte communication, and gives the parties an opportunity to respond. (2) A judge may consult with court staff and court officials whose functions are to aid the judge in carrying out the judge’s adjudicative responsibilities, or with other judges, provided the judge avoids receiving factual information that is not part of the record, and does not abrogate the responsibility personally to decide the matter. (3) A judge may initiate, permit, or consider any ex parte communication when expressly authorized by law* to do so, or when serving on therapeutic or problem-solving courts, mental health courts, drug courts, or the water court. In this capacity, judges may assume a more interactive role with parties, treatment providers, probation officers, social workers, and others. (B) If a judge receives an ex parte communication having a potentially significant bearing upon the substance of a matter, the judge shall make provision promptly to notify the parties of the content of the communication and provide the parties with an opportunity to respond. If such communication is in writing, a copy of it shall be made available to the parties and retained. (C) A judge shall not investigate matters independently.* (D) A judge shall make reasonable efforts, including providing appropriate supervision, to ensure that this Rule is not violated by court staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge’s direction and control. COMMENT [1] Whenever notice to a party is required by this Rule, it is the party’s lawyer, or if the party is unrepresented, the party to whom notice is to be given. [2] The proscription against communications concerning a proceeding includes communications with lawyers, law teachers, and other persons who are not participants in the proceeding, except to the limited extent permitted by this Rule. [3] A judge may initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications expressly authorized by law, such as when serving on therapeutic or problem-solving courts, mental health courts, drug courts, or the water court. In this capacity, judges may assume a more interactive role with parties, treatment providers, probation officers, social workers, and others. [4] A judge must avoid ex parte discussions of a case with judges who have previously been substituted or disqualified from hearing the matter, and with judges who have trial or appellate jurisdiction over the matter. [5] The prohibition against a judge investigating the facts in a matter extends to information available in all mediums, including electronic. The prohibition does not apply to a judge’s effort to obtain general information about a specialized area of knowledge that does not include the application of such information in a specific case. Nor does the prohibition apply to interstate or state-federal communications among judges on the general topic of case management decisions in mass torts or other complex cases, such as discovery schedules,

RULE 2.11 - Judicial Statements Impending Cases

Pending

and

(A) A judge shall not make any public statement that might reasonably be expected to affect the outcome or impair the fairness of a matter pending* or impending* in any court, or make any nonpublic statement that might substantially interfere with a fair trial or hearing. (B) A judge shall not, in connection with cases, controversies, or issues that are likely to come before the court, make pledges, promises, or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial* performance of the adjudicative duties of judicial office. (C) A judge shall require court staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge’s direction and control to refrain from making statements that the judge would be prohibited from making by paragraphs (A) and (B). (D) Notwithstanding the restrictions in paragraph (A), a judge may make public statements in the course of official duties, may explain court procedures, and may comment on any proceeding in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity. (E) Subject to the requirements of paragraph (A), a judge may respond directly or through a third party to allegations in the media or elsewhere concerning the judge’s conduct in a matter. COMMENT [1] This Rule’s restrictions on judicial speech are essential to the maintenance of the independence, integrity, and impartiality of the judiciary. [2] This Rule does not prohibit a judge from commenting on proceedings in which the judge is a litigant in a personal capacity. In cases in which the judge is a litigant in an official capacity, such as a writ of mandamus, the judge must not comment publicly. [3] Depending upon the circumstances, the judge should consider whether it may be preferable for a third party, rather than the judge, to respond or issue statements in connection with allegations concerning the judge’s conduct in a matter.

RULE 2.12 - Disqualification (A) A judge shall disqualify himself or herself in any proceeding in which the judge’s impartiality* might reasonably be questioned, including but not limited to the following circumstances: (1) The judge has a personal bias or prejudice concerning a party or a party’s lawyer, or personal knowledge* of facts that are in dispute in the proceeding. (2) The judge knows* that the judge, the judge’s spouse or domestic partner,* or a person within the third degree of relationship* to either of them, or the spouse or domestic partner of such a person is: (a) a party to the proceeding, or an officer, director, general partner, managing member, or trustee of a party; (b) acting as a lawyer in the proceeding; (c) a person who has more than a de minimis* interest that could be substantially affected by the proceeding; or (d) likely to be a material witness in the proceeding. (3) The judge knows that he or she, individually or as a fiduciary,* or the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, or child, or any other member of the judge’s family residing in the judge’s household,* has an economic interest* in the subject matter in controversy or in a party to the proceeding. (4) The judge, while a judge or a judicial candidate,* has made a public statement, other than in a court proceeding, judicial decision, or opinion, that commits or appears to commit the judge to reach

a particular result or rule in a particular way in the proceeding or controversy. (5) The judge: (a) served as a lawyer in the matter in controversy, or was associated with a lawyer who participated substantially as a lawyer in the matter during such association; (b) served in governmental employment, and in such capacity participated personally and substantially as a lawyer or public official concerning the proceeding, or has publicly expressed in such capacity an opinion concerning the merits of the particular matter in controversy; (c) was a material witness concerning the matter; or (d) previously presided as a judge over the matter in another court. (B) A judge shall keep informed about the judge’s personal and fiduciary economic interests, and make a reasonable effort to keep informed about the personal economic interests of the judge’s spouse or domestic partner and minor children residing in the judge’s household. (C) A judge subject to disqualification under this Rule, other than for bias or prejudice under paragraph (A)(1), may disclose in writing or on the record the basis of the judge’s disqualification and may ask the parties and their lawyers to consider, outside the presence of the judge and court personnel, whether to waive disqualification. If, following the disclosure, the parties and lawyers agree, without participation by the judge or court personnel, that the judge should not be disqualified, the judge may participate in the proceeding. The agreement shall be incorporated into the record of the proceeding. COMMENT [1] Under this Rule, a judge is disqualified whenever the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned, regardless of whether any of the specific provisions of paragraphs (A)(1) through (5) apply. [2] A judge’s obligation not to hear or decide matters in which disqualification is required applies regardless of whether a motion to disqualify is filed. [3] The rule of necessity may override the rule of disqualification. For example, a judge might be required to participate in judicial review of a judicial salary statute, or might be the only judge available in a matter requiring immediate judicial action, such as a hearing on probable cause or a temporary restraining order. In matters that require immediate action, the judge must disclose on the record the basis for possible disqualification and make reasonable efforts to transfer the matter to another judge as soon as practicable. [4] The fact that a lawyer in a proceeding is affiliated with a law firm with which a relative of the judge is affiliated does not itself disqualify the judge. If, however, the judge’s impartiality might reasonably be questioned under paragraph (A), or the relative is known by the judge to have an interest in the law firm that could be substantially affected by the proceeding under paragraph (A)(2)(c), the judge’s disqualification is required. [5] A judge should disclose on the record information that the judge believes the parties or their lawyers might reasonably consider relevant to a possible motion for disqualification, even if the judge believes there is no basis for disqualification. [6] “Economic interest,” as set forth in the Terminology paragraph, means ownership of more than a de minimis legal or equitable interest. Except for situations in which a judge participates in the management of such a legal or equitable interest, or the interest could be substantially affected by the outcome of a proceeding before a judge, it does not include: (a) an interest in the individual holdings within a mutual or common investment fund; (b) an interest in securities held by an educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic organization in which the judge or the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, parent, or child serves as a director, officer, advisor, or other participant; (c) a deposit in a financial institution or deposits or pro prietary interests the judge may maintain as a member of a mutual savings association or credit union, or similar proprietary interests; or (d) an interest in the issuer of government securities held by the judge.

standard interrogatories, shared discovery depositories, appointment of liaison counsel, committee membership, or common fund structures. [6] Consultations with ethics advisory committees, outside counsel, or legal experts concerning the judge’s compliance with this Code are permitted. [7] It is acknowledged that judges frequently receive unsolicited ex parte communications. Judges should apply their discretion and common sense when called upon to determine whether any such communication qualifies as one having a potentially significant bearing upon the substance of a matter, for purposes of paragraph (B).

RULE 2.13 - Supervisory Duties (A) A judge shall require court staff, court officials, and others subject to the judge’s direction and control to act in a manner consistent with the judge’s obligations under this Code. (B) A judge with supervisory authority for the performance of other judges shall take reasonable measures to ensure that those judges properly discharge their judicial responsibilities, including the prompt disposition of matters before them. COMMENT [1] A judge is responsible for his or her own conduct and for the conduct of others, such as staff, when those persons are acting at the judge’s direction or control. A judge may not direct court personnel to engage in conduct on the judge’s behalf or as the judge’s representative when such conduct would violate the Code if undertaken by the judge. [2] Public confidence in the judicial system depends upon timely justice. To promote the efficient administration of justice, a judge with supervisory authority must take the steps needed to ensure that judges under his or her supervision administer their workloads promptly.

RULE 2.14 - Administrative Appointments (A) In making administrative appointments, a judge: (1) shall exercise the power of appointment impartially* and on the basis of merit; and (2) shall avoid nepotism, favoritism, and unnecessary appointments. (B) A judge shall not approve compensation of appointees beyond the fair value of services rendered. COMMENT [1] Appointees of a judge include assigned counsel, officials such as referees, commissioners, special masters, receivers, and guardians, and personnel such as clerks, secretaries, and bailiffs. Consent by the parties to an appointment or an award of compensation does not relieve the judge of the obligation prescribed by paragraph (A). [2] Unless otherwise defined by law, nepotism is the appointment or hiring of any relative within the third degree of relationship of either the judge or the judge’s spouse or domestic partner, or the spouse or domestic partner of such relative.

RULE 2.15 - Disability and Impairment A judge having a reasonable belief that the performance of a lawyer or another judge is impaired by drugs or alcohol, or by a mental, emotional, or physical condition, shall take appropriate action, which may include a confidential referral to a lawyer or judicial assistance program. COMMENT [1] “Appropriate action” means action intended and reasonably likely to help the judge or lawyer in question address the problem and prevent harm to the justice system. Depending upon the circumstances, appropriate action may include, but is not limited to, speaking directly to the impaired person, notifying an individual with supervisory responsibility over the impaired person, or making a referral to an assistance program. [2] Taking or initiating corrective action by way of referral to an assistance program may satisfy a judge’s responsibility under this Rule. Assistance programs have many approaches for offering help to impaired judges and lawyers, such as intervention, counseling, or referral to appropriate health care professionals. Depending upon the gravity of the conduct that has come to the judge’s attention, however, the judge may be required to take other action, such as reporting the impaired judge or lawyer to the appropriate authority, agency, or body. See Rule 2.16.

RULE 2.16 - Responding Misconduct

Judicial

and

Lawyer

(A) A judge having knowledge* that another judge has committed a violation of this Code that raises a substantial question regarding

the judge’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a judge in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority.* (B) A judge having knowledge that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question regarding the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate authority. (C) A judge who receives information indicating a substantial likelihood that another judge has committed a violation of this Code shall take appropriate action. (D) A judge who receives information indicating a substantial likelihood that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct shall take appropriate action. COMMENT [1] Taking action to address known misconduct is a judge’s obligation. Paragraphs (A) and (B) impose an obligation on the judge to report to the appropriate disciplinary authority the known misconduct of another judge or a lawyer that raises a substantial question regarding the honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness of that judge or lawyer. Ignoring or denying known misconduct among one’s judicial colleagues or members of the legal profession undermines a judge’s responsibility to participate in efforts to ensure public respect for the justice system. This Rule limits the reporting obligation to those offenses that an independent judiciary must vigorously endeavor to prevent. [2] A judge who does not have actual knowledge that another judge or a lawyer may have committed misconduct, but receives information indicating a substantial likelihood of such misconduct, is required to take appropriate action under paragraphs (C) and (D). Appropriate action may include, but is not limited to, communicating directly with the judge who may have violated this Code, communicating with a supervising judge, or reporting the suspected violation to the appropriate authority or other agency or body. Similarly, actions to be taken in response to information indicating that a lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct may include, but are not limited to, communicating directly with the lawyer who may have committed the violation, or reporting the suspected violation to the appropriate authority or other agency or body.

RULE 2.17 - Cooperation with Disciplinary Authorities (A) A judge shall cooperate and be candid and honest with judicial and lawyer disciplinary agencies. (B) A judge shall not retaliate, directly or indirectly, against a person known* or suspected to have assisted or cooperated with an investigation of a judge or a lawyer. COMMENT [1] Cooperation with investigations and proceedings of judicial and lawyer discipline agencies, as required in paragraph (A), instills confidence in judges’ commitment to the integrity of the judicial system and the protection of the public. CANON 3 A JUDGE SHALL CONDUCT THE JUDGE’S PERSONAL AND EXTRAJUDICIAL ACTIVITIES TO MINIMIZE THE RISK OF CONFLICT WITH THE OBLIGATIONS OF JUDICIAL OFFICE.

RULE 3.1 - Extrajudicial Activities in General A judge may engage in extrajudicial activities, except as prohibited by law* or this Code. However, when engaging in extrajudicial activities, a judge shall not: (A) participate in activities that will interfere with the proper performance of the judge’s judicial duties; (B) participate in activities that will lead to frequent disqualification of the judge; (C) participate in activities that would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence,* integrity,* or impartiality;* (D) engage in conduct that would appear to a reasonable person to be coercive; or (E) make use of court premises, staff, stationery, equipment, or other resources, except for incidental use for activities that concern the

COMMENT [1] To the extent that time permits, and judicial independence and impartiality are not compromised, judges are encouraged to engage in appropriate extrajudicial activities. Judges are uniquely qualified to engage in extrajudicial activities that concern the law, the legal system, and the administration of justice, such as by speaking, writing, teaching, or participating in scholarly research projects. In addition, judges are permitted and encouraged to engage in educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic extrajudicial activities not conducted for profit, even when the activities do not involve the law. See Rule 3.7. [2] Participation in both law-related and other extrajudicial activities helps integrate judges into their communities, and furthers public understanding of and respect for courts and the judicial system. [3] Discriminatory actions and expressions of bias or prejudice by a judge, even outside the judge’s official or judicial actions, are likely to appear to a reasonable person to call into question the judge’s integrity and impartiality. Examples include jokes or other remarks that demean individuals based upon their race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status. For the same reason, a judge’s extrajudicial activities must not be conducted in connection or affiliation with an organization that practices invidious discrimination. See Rule 3.6. [4] While engaged in permitted extrajudicial activities, judges must not coerce others or take action that would reasonably be perceived as coercive. For example, depending upon the circumstances, a judge’s solicitation of contributions or memberships for an organization, even as permitted by Rule 3.7(A), might create the risk that the person solicited would feel obligated to respond favorably, or would do so to curry favor with the judge.

RULE 3.2 - Appearances before Governmental Bodies and Consultation with Government Officials A judge shall not appear voluntarily at a public hearing before, or otherwise consult with, an executive or a legislative body or official, except: (A) in connection with matters concerning the law,* the legal system, or the administration of justice; (B) in connection with matters about which the judge acquired knowledge* or expertise in the course of the judge’s judicial duties; or (C) when the judge is self-representing in a matter involving the judge’s legal or economic interests,* or when the judge is acting in a fiduciary* capacity. COMMENT [1] Judges possess special expertise in matters of law, the legal system, and the administration of justice, and may properly share that expertise with governmental bodies and executive or legislative branch officials. [2] In appearing before governmental bodies or consulting with government officials, judges must be mindful that they remain subject to other provisions of this Code, such as Rule 1.3, prohibiting judges from using the prestige of office to advance their own or others’ interests, Rule 2.11, governing public comment on pending and impending matters, and Rule 3.1(C), prohibiting judges from engaging in extrajudicial activities that would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality. [3] In general, it would be an unnecessary and unfair burden to prohibit judges from appearing before governmental bodies or consulting with government officials on matters that are likely to affect them as private citizens, such as zoning proposals affecting their real property. In engaging in such activities, however, judges must not refer to their judicial positions, and must otherwise exercise caution to avoid using the prestige of judicial office.

RULE 3.3 - Testifying as Character Witness A judge shall not testify as a character witness in a judicial, administrative, or other adjudicatory proceeding or otherwise vouch for the character of a person in a legal proceeding, except when duly summoned.

COMMENT [1] A judge who, without being subpoenaed, testifies as a character witness abuses the prestige of judicial office to advance the interests of another. See Rule 1.3. Except in unusual circumstances where the demands of justice require, a judge should discourage a party from requiring the judge to testify as a character witness.

RULE 3.4 - Appointments to Governmental Positions A judge shall not accept appointment to a governmental committee, board, commission, or other governmental position, unless it is one that concerns the law,* the legal system, or the administration of justice. COMMENT [1] Rule 3.4 implicitly acknowledges the value of judges accepting appointments to entities that concern the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice. Even in such instances, however, a judge should assess the appropriateness of accepting an appointment, paying particular attention to the subject matter of the appointment and the availability and allocation of judicial resources, including the judge’s time commitments, and giving due regard to the requirements of the independence and impartiality of the judiciary. [2] A judge may represent his or her country, state, or locality on ceremonial occasions or in connection with historical, educational, or cultural activities. Such representation does not constitute acceptance of a government position.

RULE 3.5 - Use of Nonpublic Information A judge shall not intentionally disclose or use nonpublic information* known* or acquired in a judicial capacity for any purpose in contravention of or unrelated to the judge’s judicial duties. COMMENT [1] A judge is, by definition, uniquely privy to the inclination of the court to resolve a matter or issue pending before it in a particular manner. A judge shall not, under any circumstances, disclose such information to a third party in advance of the court’s release of its decision. With respect to the parties in the case, a judge shall not disclose such information to a party or counsel unless the court simultaneously shares such information openly with all parties to the proceeding. [2] In the course of performing judicial duties, a judge may acquire information of commercial or other value that is unavailable to the public. The judge must not reveal or use such information for personal gain or for any purpose unrelated to his or her judicial duties. [3] This rule is not intended, however, to affect a judge’s ability to act on information as necessary to protect the health or safety of the judge or a member of a judge’s family, court personnel, or other judicial officers if consistent with other provisions of this Code.

RULE 3.6 - Affiliation with Discriminatory Organizations (A) A judge shall not hold membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation. (B) A judge shall not use the benefits or facilities of an organization if the judge knows* or should know that the organization practices invidious discrimination on one or more of the bases identified in paragraph (A). A judge’s attendance at an event in a facility of an organization that the judge is not permitted to join is not a violation of this Rule when the judge’s attendance is an isolated event that could not reasonably be perceived as an endorsement of the organization’s practices. (C) A judge’s membership in a religious organization as a lawful exercise of the freedom of religion is not a violation of this Rule. This Rule does not apply to national or state military service. COMMENT [1] A judge’s public manifestation of approval of invidious discrimination on any basis gives rise to the appearance of impropriety and

law, the legal system, or the administration of justice, or unless such additional use is permitted by law.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

diminishes public confidence in the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary. A judge’s membership in an organization that practices invidious discrimination creates the perception that the judge’s impartiality is impaired. [2] An organization is generally said to discriminate invidiously if it arbitrarily excludes from membership on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or sexual orientation persons who would otherwise be eligible for admission. Whether an organization practices invidious discrimination is a complex question to which judges should be attentive. The answer cannot be determined from a mere examination of an organization’s current membership rolls, but rather, depends upon how the organization selects members, as well as other relevant factors, such as whether the organization is dedicated to the preservation of religious, ethnic, or cultural values of legitimate common interest to its members, or whether it is an intimate, purely private organization whose membership limitations could not constitutionally be prohibited. [3] When a judge learns that an organization to which the judge belongs engages in invidious discrimination, the judge must resign immediately from the organization.

RULE 3.7 - Participation in Educational, Religious, Charitable, Fraternal, or Civil Organizations and Activities (A) Subject to the requirements of Rule 3.1, a judge may participate in activities sponsored by organizations or governmental entities concerned with the law,* the legal system, or the administration of justice, and those sponsored by or on behalf of educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic organizations not conducted for profit, including but not limited to the following activities: (1) assisting such an organization or entity in planning related to fund-raising, and participating in the management and investment of the organization’s or entity’s funds; (2) soliciting* contributions* for such an organization or entity, but only from members of the judge’s family,* or from judges over whom the judge does not exercise supervisory or appellate authority; (3) appearing or speaking at, receiving an award or other recognition at, being featured on the program of, and permitting his or her title to be used in connection with a non-fund-raising event of such an organization or entity; (4) serving as an officer, director, trustee, or nonlegal advisor of such an organization or entity, unless it is likely that the organization or entity: (a) will be engaged in proceedings that would ordinarily come before the judge; or (b) will frequently be engaged in adversary proceedings in the court of which the judge is a member, or in any court subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the court of which the judge is a member. (5) soliciting membership for such an organization or entity, even though the membership dues or fees generated may be used to support the objectives of the organization or entity, but only if the organization or entity is concerned with the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice; (6) making recommendations to such a public or private fundgranting organization or entity in connection with its programs and activities, but only if the organization or entity is concerned with the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice; and (7) appearing or speaking at, receiving an award or other recognition at, being featured on the program of, and permitting her or his title to be used in connection with a fund-raising event of an organization which concerns the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice. (B) A judge may encourage lawyers to provide pro bono publico legal services. COMMENT [1] The activities permitted by paragraph (A) generally include those sponsored by or undertaken on behalf of public or private not-forprofit educational institutions, and other not-for-profit organizations, including law-related, charitable, and other organizations. The activities permitted by paragraph (A) do not include those sponsored by or on behalf of organizations which have as a primary purpose advocat-

ing in political processes for or against change in the laws related to limited subject areas. Activities relating to such political advocacy organizations are subject to the requirements of Rule 3.1, as well as Canon 4 and the Rules thereunder. [2] Even for law-related organizations, a judge should consider whether the membership and purposes of the organization, or the nature of the judge’s participation in or association with the organization, would conflict with the judge’s obligation to refrain from activities that reflect adversely upon a judge’s independence, integrity, and impartiality. [3] Mere attendance at an event, whether or not the event serves a fund-raising purpose, does not constitute a violation of paragraph (A). It is also generally permissible for a judge to serve as an usher or a food server or preparer, or to perform similar functions, at fund-raising events sponsored by educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic organizations. Such activities are not solicitation and do not present an element of coercion or abuse the prestige of judicial office. [4] Identification of a judge’s position in educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic organizations on letterhead used for fund-raising or membership solicitation does not violate this Rule if comparable designations are used for other persons. [5] In addition to appointing lawyers to serve as counsel for indigent parties in individual cases, a judge may promote broader access to justice by encouraging lawyers to participate in pro bono publico legal services, if in doing so the judge does not employ coercion, or abuse the prestige of judicial office. [6] Subject to the requirements of Rule 3.1 and paragraph (A), a judge may provide leadership in improving equal access to the justice system; developing public education programs; engaging in outreach activities to promote the fair administration of justice; and convening and participating in advisory committees and community collaborations devoted to the improvement of the law, the legal system, the provision of legal services, and/or the administration of justice.

RULE 3.8 - Appointments to Fiduciary Positions (A) A judge shall not accept appointment to serve in a fiduciary* position, such as executor, administrator, trustee, guardian, attorney in fact, or other personal representative, except for the estate, trust, or person of a member of the judge’s family,* and then only if such service will not interfere with the proper performance of judicial duties. (B) A judge shall not serve in a fiduciary position if the judge as fiduciary will likely be engaged in proceedings that would ordinarily come before the judge, or if the estate, trust, or ward becomes involved in adversary proceedings in the court on which the judge serves, or one under its appellate jurisdiction. (C) A judge acting in a fiduciary capacity shall be subject to the same restrictions on engaging in financial activities that apply to a judge personally. (D) If a person who is serving in a fiduciary position becomes a judge, he or she must comply with this Rule as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than one year after becoming a judge. COMMENT [1] A judge should recognize that other restrictions imposed by this Code may conflict with a judge’s obligations as a fiduciary; in such circumstances, a judge should resign as fiduciary. For example, serving as a fiduciary might require frequent disqualification of a judge under Rule 2.12 because a judge is deemed to have an economic interest in shares of stock held by a trust if the amount of stock held is more than de minimis. This Rule does not prohibit a judge from assuming guardianship of a minor child, as authorized by law.

RULE 3.9 - Service as Arbitrator or Mediator A judge shall not act as an arbitrator or a mediator or perform other judicial functions apart from the judge’s official duties unless expressly authorized by law.* COMMENT [1] A “judge’s official duties” may include acting as a mediator in a case pending before another judge.

COMMENT

[1] Judges are generally permitted to engage in financial activities, including managing real estate and other investments for themselves or for members of their families. Participation in these activities, like participation in other extrajudicial activities, is subject to the requirements of this Code. For example, it would be improper for a judge to spend so much time on business activities that it interferes with the performance of judicial duties. See Rule 2.1. Similarly, it would be improper for a judge to use his or her official title or appear in judicial robes in business advertising, or to conduct his or her business or financial affairs in such a way that disqualification is frequently required. See Rules 1.3 and 2.12. [2] As soon as practicable without serious financial detriment, the judge must divest himself or herself of investments and other financial interests that might require frequent disqualification or otherwise violate this Rule.

[1] Whenever a judge accepts a gift or other thing of value without paying fair market value, there is a risk that the benefit might be viewed as intended to influence the judge’s decision in a case. Gift-giving between friends and relatives is a common occurrence, and ordinarily does not create an appearance of impropriety or cause reasonable persons to believe that the judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality has been compromised. In addition, when the appearance of friends or relatives in a case would require the judge’s disqualification under Rule 2.12, there would be no opportunity for a gift to influence the judge’s decision making. [2] Businesses and financial institutions frequently make available special pricing, discounts, and other benefits, either in connection with a temporary promotion or for preferred customers, based upon longevity of the relationship, volume of business transacted, and other factors. A judge may freely accept such benefits if they are available to the general public, or if the judge qualifies for the special price or discount according to the same criteria as are applied to persons who are not judges. As an example, loans provided at generally prevailing interest rates are not gifts, but a judge could not accept a loan from a financial institution at below-market interest rates unless the same rate was being made available to the general public for a certain period of time or only to borrowers with specified qualifications that the judge also possesses. [3] Rule 3.13 applies only to acceptance of gifts or other things of value by a judge. Nonetheless, if a gift or other benefit is given to the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, or member of the judge’s family residing in the judge’s household, it may be viewed as an attempt to evade Rule 3.13 and influence the judge indirectly. Where the gift or benefit is being made primarily to such other persons, and the judge is merely an incidental beneficiary, this concern is reduced. A judge should, however, remind family and household members of

(A) A judge authorized by law to engage in the practice of law* must scrupulously avoid conduct in the practice of law which may create a conflict with judicial duties or create the appearance of impropriety.* If a conflict arises between the judge’s obligations as judge and the private practice of law, the judge shall resolve the conflict in such a way that accomplishes the fulfillment of judicial duties. (B) A judge may self-represent and may, without compensation, give legal advice to and draft or review documents for a member of the judge’s family,* but is prohibited from serving as the family member’s lawyer in any forum. COMMENT [1] A judge may self-represent in all legal matters, including matters involving litigation and matters involving appearances before or other dealings with governmental bodies. A judge must not use the prestige of office to advance the judge’s personal or family interests. See Rule 1.3.

RULE 3.11 - Financial, Business, or Remunerative Activities

RULE 3.12 - Compensation for Extrajudicial Activities A judge may accept reasonable compensation for extrajudicial activities permitted by this Code or other law* unless such acceptance would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence,* integrity,* or impartiality.*

RULE 3.13 - Acceptance and Reporting of Gifts, Loans, Bequests, Benefits, or Other Things of Value (A) A judge shall not accept any gifts, loans, bequests, benefits, or other things of value, if acceptance is prohibited by law* or would appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence,* integrity,* or impartiality.*

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

(A) A judge may hold and manage investments of the judge and members of the judge’s family.* (B) A judge shall not serve as an officer, director, manager, general partner, advisor, or employee of any business entity except that a judge may manage or participate in: (1) a business closely held by the judge or members of the judge’s family; or (2) a business entity primarily engaged in investment of the financial resources of the judge or members of the judge’s family. (C) A judge shall not engage in financial activities permitted under paragraphs (A) and (B) if they will: (1) interfere with the proper performance of judicial duties; (2) lead to frequent disqualification of the judge; (3) involve the judge in frequent transactions or continuing business relationships with lawyers or other persons likely to come before the court on which the judge serves; or (4) result in violation of other provisions of this Code.

(B) Unless otherwise prohibited by law, or by paragraph (A), a judge may accept the following: (1) items with little intrinsic value, such as plaques, certificates, trophies, and greeting cards; (2) gifts, loans, bequests, benefits, or other things of value from friends, relatives, or other persons, including lawyers, whose appearance or interest in a proceeding pending* or impending* before the judge would in any event require disqualification of the judge under Rule 2.12; (3) ordinary social hospitality; (4) commercial or financial opportunities and benefits, including special pricing and discounts, and loans from lending institutions in their regular course of business, if the same opportunities and benefits or loans are made available on the same terms to similarly situated persons who are not judges; (5) rewards and prizes given to competitors or participants in random drawings, contests, or other events that are open to persons who are not judges; (6) scholarships, fellowships, and similar benefits or awards: (a) related to training in the law, the legal system or the administration of justice; or (b) available to similarly situated persons who are not judges, based on the same terms and criteria; (7) books, magazines, journals, audiovisual materials, and other resource materials supplied by publishers on a complimentary basis for official use; (8) gifts, awards, or benefits associated with the business, profession, or other separate activity of a spouse, a domestic partner,* or other family member of a judge residing in the judge’s household,* but that incidentally benefit the judge; (9) gifts incident to a public testimonial; and (10) invitations to the judge and the judge’s spouse, domestic partner, or guest to attend without charge: (a) an event associated with a bar-related function or other activity relating to the law, the legal system, or the administration of justice; or (b) an event associated with any of the judge’s educational, religious, charitable, fraternal, or civic activities permitted by this Code, if the same invitation is offered to nonjudges who are engaged in similar ways in the activity as is the judge.

RULE 3.10 - Practice of Law

the restrictions imposed upon judges, and urge them to take these restrictions into account when making decisions about accepting such gifts or benefits. [4] Rule 3.13 does not apply to contributions to a judge’s campaign for judicial office. Such contributions are governed by other Rules of this Code.

RULE 3.14 - Reimbursement of Expenses and Waivers of Fees or Charges (A) Unless otherwise prohibited by Rules 3.1 and 3.13(A) or other law,* a judge may accept reimbursement of necessary and reasonable expenses for travel, food, lodging, or other incidental expenses, or a waiver or partial waiver of fees or charges for registration, tuition, and similar items, from sources other than the judge’s employing entity, if the expenses or charges are associated with the judge’s participation in extrajudicial activities permitted by this Code. (B) Reimbursement of expenses for necessary travel, food, lodging, or other incidental expenses shall be limited to the actual costs reasonably incurred by the judge and, when appropriate to the occasion, by the judge’s spouse, domestic partner,* or guest. COMMENT [1] Educational, civic, religious, fraternal, and charitable organizations often sponsor meetings, seminars, symposia, dinners, awards ceremonies, and similar events. Judges are encouraged to attend educational programs, as both teachers and participants, in law-related and academic disciplines, in furtherance of their duty to remain competent in the law. Participation in a variety of other extrajudicial activity is also permitted and encouraged by this Code. [2] Not infrequently, sponsoring organizations invite certain judges to attend seminars or other events on a fee-waived or partial-feewaived basis, and sometimes include reimbursement for necessary travel, food, lodging, or other incidental expenses. A judge’s decision whether to accept reimbursement of expenses or a waiver or partial waiver of fees or charges in connection with these or other extrajudicial activities must be based upon an assessment of all the circumstances. The judge must undertake a reasonable inquiry to obtain the information necessary to make an informed judgment about whether acceptance would be consistent with the requirements of this Code. [3] A judge must assure himself or herself that acceptance of reimbursement or fee waivers would not appear to a reasonable person to undermine the judge’s independence, integrity, or impartiality. The factors that a judge should consider when deciding whether to accept reimbursement or a fee waiver for attendance at a particular activity include: (a) whether the sponsor is an accredited educational institution or bar association rather than a trade association or a for-profit entity; (b) whether the funding comes largely from numerous contributors rather than from a single entity and is ear marked for programs with specific content; (c) whether the content is related or unrelated to the subject matter of litigation pending or impending before the judge, or to matters that are likely to come before the judge; (d) whether the activity is primarily educational rather than recreational, and whether the costs of the event are reasonable and comparable to those associated with similar events sponsored by the judiciary, bar associations, or similar groups; (e) whether information concerning the activity and its funding sources is available upon inquiry; (f) whether the sponsor or source of funding is generally associated with particular parties or interests currently appearing or likely to appear in the judge’s court, thus possibly requiring disqualification of the judge under Rule 2.12; (g) whether differing viewpoints are presented; and (h) whether a broad range of judicial and nonjudicial participants are invited, whether a large number of participants are invited, and whether the program is designed specifically for judges.

CANON 4 A JUDGE OR CANDIDATE FOR JUDICIAL OFFICE SHALL NOT ENGAGE IN POLITICAL OR CAMPAIGN ACTIVITY THAT IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE INDEPENDENCE, INTEGRITY, OR IMPARTIALITY OF THE JUDICIARY.

RULE 4.1 - Political and Campaign Activities Judges and Judicial Candidates in General

(A) Except as permitted by law,* or by Rules 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4, a judge or a judicial candidate* shall not: (1) act as a leader in, or hold an office in, a political organization;* (2) make speeches on behalf of a political organization, or any partisan* or independent* non-judicial office-holder or candidate for public office; (3) publicly endorse or oppose a partisan or independent candidate for any non-judicial public office; (4) solicit funds for, pay an assessment to, or make a contribution* to a political organization, or to or on behalf of any partisan or independent office-holder or candidate for public office; (5) attend or purchase tickets for dinners or other events sponsored by a partisan or independent candidate for non-judicial public office; (6) publicly identify himself or herself as a candidate of a political organization; (7) seek, accept, or use endorsements from a political organization, or partisan or independent non-judicial office-holder or candidate; (8) use or permit the use of campaign contributions for the private benefit of the judge, the candidate, or others; (9) use court staff, facilities, or other court resources in a campaign for judicial office; (10) knowingly,* or with reckless disregard for the truth, make any false or misleading statement; (11) make any statement that would reasonably be expected to affect the outcome or impair the fairness of a matter pending* or impending* in any court; or (12) in connection with cases, controversies, or issues that are likely to come before the court, make pledges, promises, or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial* performance of the adjudicative duties of judicial office. (B) A judge or judicial candidate shall take reasonable measures to ensure that other persons do not undertake, on behalf of the judge or judicial candidate, any activities prohibited under paragraph (A). COMMENT General Considerations [1] Even when subject to public election, a judge plays a role different from that of a legislator or executive branch official. Rather than making decisions based upon the expressed views or preferences of the electorate, a judge makes decisions based upon the law and the facts of every case. Therefore, in furtherance of this interest, judges and judicial candidates must, to the greatest extent possible, be free and appear to be free from political influence and political pressure. This Canon imposes narrowly tailored restrictions upon the political and campaign activities of all judges and judicial candidates, taking into account the various methods of selecting judges. [2] When a person becomes a judicial candidate, this Canon becomes applicable to his or her conduct. If a judicial candidate who is not a judge violates this Canon and is elected, he or she may be referred to the Judicial Standards Commission for discipline on assuming office. Participation in Political Activities [3] Public confidence in the independence and impartiality of the judiciary is eroded if judges or judicial candidates are perceived to be subject to political influence. Judges and judicial candidates are prohibited by paragraph (A)(1) from assuming leadership roles in political organizations. [4] Paragraphs (A)(2) and (A)(3) prohibit judges and judicial candidates from making speeches on behalf of political organizations or publicly endorsing or opposing partisan candidates for public office,

Statements and Comments Made During a Campaign for Judicial Office [7] Judicial candidates must be scrupulously fair and accurate in all statements made by them and by their campaign committees. Paragraph (A)(10) obligates candidates and their committees to refrain from making statements that are false or misleading, or that omit facts necessary to make the communication considered as a whole not materially misleading. [8] Judicial candidates are sometimes the subject of false, misleading, or unfair allegations made by opposing candidates, third parties, or the media. For example, false or misleading statements might be made regarding the identity, present position, experience, qualifications, or judicial rulings of a candidate. In other situations, false or misleading allegations may be made that bear upon a candidate’s integrity or fitness for judicial office. As long as the candidate does not violate paragraphs (A)(10), (A)(11), or (A)(12), the candidate may make a factually accurate public response. In addition, when an independent third party has made false attacks on a candidate’s opponent, the candidate should disavow the attacks, and request the third party to cease and desist. [9] Subject to paragraph (A)(11), a judicial candidate is permitted to respond directly to false, misleading, or unfair allegations made against him or her during a campaign, although it is preferable for someone else to respond if the allegations relate to a pending case. [10] Paragraph (A)(11) prohibits judicial candidates from making comments that might impair the fairness of pending or impending judicial proceedings. This provision does not restrict arguments or statements to the court or jury by a lawyer who is a judicial candidate, or rulings, statements, or instructions by a judge that may appropriately affect the outcome of a matter. Pledges, Promises, or Commitments Inconsistent With Impartial Performance of the Adjudicative Duties of Judicial Office [11] The role of a judge is different from that of a legislator or executive branch official, even when the judge is subject to public election. Campaigns for judicial office must be conducted differently from campaigns for other offices. The narrowly drafted restrictions upon political and campaign activities of judicial candidates provided in Canon 4 allow candidates to conduct campaigns that provide voters with sufficient information to permit them to distinguish between candidates and make informed electoral choices. [12] Paragraph (A)(12) makes applicable to both judges and judicial candidates the prohibition that applies to judges in Rule 2.11(B), relating to pledges, promises, or commitments that are inconsistent with the impartial performance of the adjudicative duties of judicial office. [13] The making of a pledge, promise, or commitment is not dependent upon, or limited to, the use of any specific words or phrases; instead, the totality of the statement must be examined to determine

if a reasonable person would believe that the candidate for judicial office has specifically undertaken to reach a particular result. Pledges, promises, or commitments must be contrasted with statements or announcements of personal views on legal, political, or other issues, which are not prohibited. When making such statements, a judge should acknowledge the overarching judicial obligation to apply and uphold the law, without regard to his or her personal views. [14] A judicial candidate may make campaign promises related to judicial organization, administration, and court management, such as a promise to dispose of a backlog of cases, start court sessions on time, or avoid favoritism in appointments and hiring. A candidate may also pledge to take action outside the courtroom, such as working toward an improved jury selection system, or advocating for more funds to improve the physical plant and amenities of the courthouse. [15] Judicial candidates may receive questionnaires or requests for interviews from the media and from issue advocacy or other community organizations that seek to learn their views on disputed or controversial legal or political issues. Paragraph (A)(12) does not specifically address judicial responses to such inquiries. Depending upon the wording and format of such questionnaires, candidates’ responses might be viewed as pledges, promises, or commitments to perform the adjudicative duties of office other than in an impartial way. To avoid violating paragraph (A)(12), therefore, candidates who respond to media and other inquiries should also give assurances that they will keep an open mind and will carry out their adjudicative duties faithfully and impartially if elected. Candidates who do not respond may state their reasons for not responding, such as the danger that answering might be perceived by a reasonable person as undermining a successful candidate’s independence or impartiality, or that it might lead to frequent disqualification. See Rule 2.12.

RULE 4.2 - Political and Campaign Activities Judicial Candidates in Public Elections

(A) A judicial candidate* shall: (1) act at all times in a manner consistent with the independence,* integrity,* and impartiality* of the judiciary; (2) comply with all applicable election, election campaign, and election campaign fund-raising laws* and regulations of this jurisdiction; (3) review and approve the content of all campaign statements and materials produced by the candidate or his or her campaign committee, as authorized by Rule 4.4, before their dissemination; and (4) take objectively reasonable measures to ensure that other persons do not undertake on behalf of the candidate activities, other than those described in Rule 4.4, that the candidate is prohibited from doing by Rule 4.1. (B) A candidate for elective judicial office may, unless prohibited by law: (1) establish a campaign committee pursuant to the provisions of Rule 4.4; (2) speak on behalf of his or her candidacy through any medium, including but not limited to advertisements, websites, or other campaign literature; (3) publicly support or oppose candidates for judicial office; (4) attend or purchase tickets for dinners or other events sponsored by a political organization* or a candidate for judicial office; (5) seek, accept, or use endorsements from any person or organization other than a partisan political organization or partisan* or independent* office-holder or candidate for non-judicial public office; and (6) contribute to a candidate for judicial office, but not more than the amount prescribed by law. COMMENT [1] Paragraph (B) permits judicial candidates in public elections to engage in some political and campaign activities otherwise prohibited by Rule 4.1. [2] Despite paragraph (B), judicial candidates for public election remain subject to many of the provisions of Rule 4.1. For example, a candidate continues to be prohibited from soliciting funds for a political organization, or any partisan or independent office-holder or candidate for public office, from knowingly making false or misleading statements during a campaign, or making certain promises, pledges, or commitments related to future adjudicative duties. See Rule 4.1(A), subparagraphs (4), (10), and (12). [3] In judicial elections, paragraph (B)(5) prohibits a candidate from

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

respectively, to prevent them from abusing the prestige of judicial office to advance the interests of others. See Rule 1.3. These Rules do not prohibit candidates from campaigning on their own behalf, or from endorsing or opposing candidates for a judicial office, because judges are in the unique position to know and share with interested persons the qualifications of judicial candidates. See Rule 4.2(B)(2) and (3). However, note that while it is acceptable for candidates for judicial office to seek and accept endorsements from another judge, and have the supportive judge attend the candidate’s dinners, judges are prohibited from soliciting or collecting money on their behalf. [5] Although members of the families of judges and judicial candidates are free to engage in their own political activity, including running for public office, there is no “family exception” to the prohibition in paragraph (A)(3) against a judge or candidate publicly endorsing candidates for public office. A judge or judicial candidate must not become involved in, or publicly associated with, a family member’s political activity or campaign for public office. To avoid public misunderstanding, judges and judicial candidates should take, and should urge members of their families to take, reasonable steps to avoid any implication that they endorse any family member’s candidacy or other political activity. [6] Judges and judicial candidates retain the right to participate in the political process as voters in both primary and general elections.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

seeking, accepting, or using nominations or endorsements from a partisan political organization or a partisan or independent non-judicial office-holder or candidate for public office. [4] Judicial candidates are permitted to attend or purchase tickets for dinners and other events sponsored by political organizations or judicial candidates, but not by partisan or other independent officeholders or candidates for public office. [5] In endorsing or opposing another judicial candidate, the judge or judicial candidate doing so must abide by the same rules governing campaign conduct and speech as apply to the candidate’s own campaign.

MONTANA RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT IN THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF MONTANA No. 03-264 IN RE: REVISING THE MONTANA RULES OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT

) ) )

ORDER

On April 25, 2003, the State Bar of Montana, together with its Ethics Committee, petitioned this Court to revise the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct. On May 20, 2003, we issued an order inviting the bench and bar and any interested persons to file written comments, suggestions or criticisms with the Clerk of this Court regarding the proposed revisions to the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct by September 1, 2003.

In addition, we are deferring consideration of the proposed revisions to Rule 5.5 on the unauthorized practice of law and Rule 8.5 on disciplinary authority and choice of law until the comment period has run on the State Bar’s petition for proposed revisions to the Rules which would–if adopted–establish multijurisdictional practice in Montana. Accordingly, the attached Rules 5.5 and 8.5 do not reflect any revisions. THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority granted this Court by Article VII, Section 2(3) of the 1972 Montana Constitution, IT IS ORDERED that the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct attached to this order are ADOPTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any existing Rules which are attached but were not revised remain in full force and effect. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Rules revised during this process are effective April 1, 2004.

) ) )

ORDER

On November 30, 2009, the Trustees of the State Bar of Montana and the Ethics Committee (Petitioners) filed with this Court a Petition and Memorandum in Support of Revision of the Rules of Professional Conduct on Advertising. The Petition alleges the proposed amendments would (1) clarify Montana disciplinary jurisdiction over attorney advertising; (2) specifically identify types of misleading lawyer communications; and (3) recognize that Montana does not have a procedure to “qualify” a awyer referral service. On January 8, 2010, this Court ordered members of the bench and bar of Montana and any other interested persons 90 days to file comments and/or suggestions to the Proposed Revision to the Rules of Professional Conduct on Advertising. We have reviewed the Petition, Memorandum and all comments and/or suggestions received and conclude that the attached amendments to the Rules of Professional Conduct on Advertising should be adopted. Therefore, good cause appearing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Rules 7.1 (Communications Concerning a Lawyer’s Services), 7.2 (Advertising), and (Jurisdiction and Certification) of the Rules of Professional Conduct on Advertising are hereby amended in accordance with the attached, and by this reference made a part hereof. The deleted language of the attached, amended Rules is stricken and the underlined language is added.

Preamble: A Lawyer’s Responsibilities (1) A lawyer shall always pursue the truth. (2) A lawyer, as a member of the legal profession, is a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system and a public citizen having special responsibility for the quality of justice. (3) As a representative of clients, a lawyer performs various functions. In performance of any functions a lawyer shall behave consistently with the requirements of honest dealings with others. As advisor, a lawyer endeavors to provide a client with an informed understanding of the client’s legal rights and obligations and explains their practical implications. As advocate, a lawyer asserts the client’s position under the rules of the adversary system. As negotiator, a lawyer seeks a result advantageous to the client but consistent with requirements under these Rules of honest dealings with others. As an evaluator, a lawyer acts by examining a client’s legal affairs and reporting about them. (4) In addition to these representational functions, a lawyer may serve as a third-party neutral, a nonrepresentational role helping the parties to resolve a dispute or other matter. Some of these Rules apply directly to lawyers who are or have served as third-party neutrals. See, e.g., Rules 1.12 and 2.3. In addition, there are Rules that apply to lawyers who are not active in the practice of law or to practicing lawyers even when they are acting in a nonprofessional capacity. For example, a lawyer who commits fraud in the conduct of a business is subject to discipline for engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. See Rule 8.4. (5) In all professional functions a lawyer should be competent, prompt and diligent. A lawyer should maintain communication with a client concerning the representation. A lawyer should keep in confidence information relating to representation of a client except so far as disclosure is required or permitted by the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law. (6) A lawyer’s conduct should conform to the requirements of the law, both in professional service to clients and in the lawyer’s business and personal affairs. A lawyer should use the law’s procedures only for legitimate purposes and not to harass or intimidate others. A lawyer should demonstrate respect for the legal system and for those who serve it, including judges, other lawyers and public officials. While it is a lawyer’s duty, when necessary, to challenge the rectitude of official action, it is also a lawyer’s duty to uphold legal process. (7) As a public citizen, a lawyer should seek improvement of the law, access to the legal system, the administration of justice and the quality of service rendered by the legal profession. As a member of a learned profession, a lawyer should cultivate knowledge of the law beyond its use for clients, employ that knowledge in reform of the law and work to strengthen legal education. In addition, a lawyer should further the public’s understanding of and confidence in the rule of law and the justice system because legal institutions in a

260 2011 Lawyers’ Deskbook & Directory

constitutional democracy depend on popular participation and support to maintain their authority. A lawyer should be mindful of deficiencies in the administration of justice and of the fact that the poor, and sometimes persons who are not poor, cannot afford adequate legal assistance. Therefore, all lawyers should devote professional time and resources and use civic influence to ensure equal access to our system of justice for all those who because of economic or social barriers cannot afford or secure adequate legal counsel. A lawyer should aid the legal profession in pursuing these objectives and should help the bar regulate itself in the public interest. (8) Many of a lawyer’s professional responsibilities are prescribed in the Rules of Professional Conduct, as well as substantive and procedural law. However, a lawyer is also guided by personal conscience and the approbation of professional peers. A lawyer should strive to attain the highest level of skill, to improve the law and the legal profession and to exemplify the legal profession’s ideals of public service. (9) A lawyer’s responsibilities as a representative of clients, an officer of the legal system and a public citizen are harmonious. A lawyer can be a dedicated advocate on behalf of a client, even an unpopular one, but in doing so must comply with these Rules of Professional Conduct. So also, a lawyer can be sure that preserving client confidences ordinarily serves the public interest because people are more likely to seek legal advice, and thereby heed their legal obligations, when they know their communications will be private. (10) In the nature of law practice, however, conflicting responsibilities are encountered. Virtually all difficult ethical problems arise from conflict between a lawyer’s responsibilities to clients, to the legal system and to the lawyer’s own interest. The Rules of Professional Conduct often prescribe terms for resolving such conflicts. Within the framework of these Rules, however, many difficult issues of professional discretion can arise. Such issues must be resolved through the exercise of sensitive professional and moral judgment guided by the basic principles underlying the Rules. These principles include the lawyer’s obligation to protect and pursue a client’s legitimate interests, within the bounds of the law, while maintaining a professional, courteous and civil attitude toward all persons involved in the legal system. (11) The legal profession is self-governing. Although other professions also have been granted powers of self-government, the legal profession is unique in this respect because of the close relationship between the profession and the processes of government and law enforcement. This connection is manifested in the fact that ultimate authority over the legal profession is vested in the courts. (12) Self-regulation helps maintain the legal profession’s independence from government domination. An independent legal profession is an important force in preserving government under law, for abuse of legal authority is more readily challenged by a profession whose members are not dependent on

that ordinarily reposes in the client in private client-lawyer relationships. For example, a lawyer for a government agency may have authority on behalf of the government to decide upon settlement or whether to appeal from an adverse judgment. Such authority in various respects is generally vested in the attorney general and the state’s attorney in state government, and their federal counterparts, and the same may be true of other government law officers. Also, lawyers under the supervision of these officers may be authorized to represent several government agencies in intragovernmental legal controversies in circumstances where a private lawyer could not represent multiple private clients. These Rules do not abrogate any such authority. (20) Failure to comply with an obligation or prohibition imposed by a Rule is a basis for invoking the disciplinary process. The Rules presuppose that disciplinary assessment of a lawyer’s conduct will be made on the basis of the facts and circumstances as they existed at the time of the conduct in question and in recognition of the fact that a lawyer often has to act upon uncertain or incomplete evidence of the situation. Moreover, the Rules presuppose that whether or not discipline should be imposed for a violation, and the severity of a sanction, depend on all the circumstances, such as the willfulness and seriousness of the violation, extenuating factors and whether there have been previous violations. (21) Violation of a Rule should not itself give rise to a cause of action against a lawyer nor should it create any presumption in such a case that a legal duty has been breached. In addition, violation of a Rule does not necessarily warrant any other nondisciplinary remedy, such as disqualification of a lawyer in pending litigation. The Rules are designed to provide guidance to lawyers and to provide a structure for regulating conduct through disciplinary agencies. They are not designed to be a basis for civil liability. Furthermore, the purpose of the Rules can be subverted when they are invoked by opposing parties as procedural weapons. The fact that a Rule provides just basis for self-assessment by a lawyer of his/her conduct or a basis for sanctioning a lawyer under the disciplinary process does not imply that an opposing party or lawyer has standing to seek enforcement of the Rules in a collateral proceeding or transaction outside of the disciplinary process.

government for the right to practice. (13) The legal profession’s relative autonomy carries with it special responsibilities of self-government. The profession has a responsibility to assure that its regulations are conceived in the public interest and not in furtherance of parochial or self-interested concerns of the bar. Every lawyer is responsible for observance of the Rules of Professional Conduct. A lawyer should also aid in securing their observance by other lawyers. Neglect of these responsibilities compromises the independence of the profession and the public interest which it serves. (14) Lawyers play a vital role in the preservation of society. The fulfillment of this role requires an understanding by lawyers of their relationship to our legal system. All lawyers understand that, as officers of the court, they have a duty to be truthful, which engenders trust in both the profession and the rule of law. The Rules of Professional Conduct, when properly applied, serve to define that relationship. Trust in the integrity of the system and those who operate it is a basic necessity of the rule of law; accordingly truthfulness must be the hallmark of the legal profession, and the stock-in-trade of all lawyers. (15) The Rules of Professional Conduct are rules of reason. They should be interpreted with reference to the purposes of legal representation and of the law itself. Some of the Rules are imperatives, cast in the terms “shall” or “shall not.” These define proper conduct for purposes of professional discipline. Others, generally cast in the term “may,” are permissive and define areas under the Rules in which the lawyer has discretion to exercise professional judgment. No disciplinary action should be taken when the lawyer chooses not to act or acts within the bounds of such discretion. Other Rules define the nature of relationships between the lawyer and others. The Rules are thus partly obligatory and disciplinary and partly constitutive and descriptive in that they define a lawyer’s professional role. Many of the Comments use the term “should.” Comments do not add obligations to the Rules but provide guidance for practicing in compliance with the Rules. (16) The Rules presuppose a larger legal context shaping the lawyer’s role. That context includes court rules and statutes relating to matters of licensure, laws defining specific obligations of lawyers and substantive and procedural law in general. The Comments are sometimes used to alert lawyers to their responsibilities under such other law. (17) Compliance with the Rules, as with all law in an open society, depends primarily upon understanding and voluntary compliance, secondarily upon reinforcement by peer and public opinion and finally, when necessary, upon enforcement through disciplinary proceedings. The Rules do not, however, exhaust the moral and ethical considerations that should inform a lawyer, for no worthwhile human activity can be completely defined by legal rules. The Rules simply provide a framework for the ethical practice of law. (18) Furthermore, for purposes of determining the lawyer’s authority and responsibility, principles of substantive law external to these Rules determine whether a client-lawyer relationship exists. Most of the duties flowing from the clientlawyer relationship attach only after the client has requested the lawyer to render legal services and the lawyer has agreed to do so. But there are some duties, such as that of confidentiality under Rule 1.6, that attach when the lawyer agrees to consider whether a client-lawyer relationship shall be established. See Rule 1.20. Whether a client-lawyer relationship exists for any specific purpose can depend on the circumstances and may be a question of fact. (19) Under various legal provisions, including constitutional, statutory and common law, the responsibilities of government lawyers may include authority concerning legal matters

Rule 1.2 - Scope of Representation and Allocation of Authority Between Client and Lawyer (a) Subject to paragraphs (c) and (d), a lawyer shall abide by a client’s decisions concerning the objectives of representation and, as required by Rule 1.4, shall consult with the client as to the means by which they are to be pursued. A lawyer may take such action on behalf of the client as is impliedly authorized to carry out the representation. A lawyer shall abide by a client’s decision whether to settle a matter. In a criminal case, the lawyer shall abide by the client’s decision, after consultation with the lawyer, as to a plea to be entered, whether to waive jury trial and whether the client will testify. (b) A lawyer’s representation of a client, including representation by appointment, does not constitute an endorsement of the

262 2011 Lawyers’ Deskbook & Directory

client’s political, economic, social or moral views or activities. (c) A lawyer may limit the scope of the representation if the limitation is reasonable under the circumstances and the client gives informed consent. (d) A lawyer shall not counsel a client to engage, or assist a client, in conduct that the lawyer knows is criminal or fraudulent, but a lawyer may discuss the legal consequences of any proposed course of conduct with a client and may counsel or assist a client to make a good faith effort to determine the validity, scope, meaning or application of the law.

Rule 1.3 - Diligence A lawyer shall act with reasonable diligence and promptness in representing a client.

Rule 1.4 - Communication (a) A lawyer shall: (1) promptly inform the client of any decision or circumstance with respect to which the client’s informed consent, as defined in Rule 1.0(g), is required by these Rules; (2) reasonably consult with the client about the means by which the client’s objectives are to be accomplished; (3) keep the client reasonably informed about the status of the matter; (4) promptly comply with reasonable requests for information; and (5) consult with the client about any relevant limitation on the lawyer’s conduct when the lawyer knows that the client expects assistance not permitted by the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law. (b) A lawyer shall explain a matter to the extent reasonably necessary to permit the client to make informed decisions regarding the representation.

Rule 1.5 - Fees (a) A lawyer shall not make an agreement for, charge or collect an unreasonable fee or an unreasonable amount for expenses. The factors to be considered in determining the reasonableness of a fee include the following: (1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly; (2) the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer; (3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount involved and the results obtained; (5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances; (6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; (7) the experience, reputation and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and (8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent. (b) The scope of the representation and the basis or rate of the fee and expenses for which the client will be responsible shall be communicated to the client in writing, before or within a reasonable time after commencing the representation, except when the lawyer will charge a regularly represented client on the same basis or rate. Any changes in the basis or rate of the fee or expenses shall also be communicated in writing. This paragraph does not apply in any matter in which it is reasonably foreseeable that total cost to a client, including attorney fees, will be $500 or less. (c) A fee may be contingent on the outcome of the matter

Rule 1.6 - Confidentiality of Information (a) A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent, the disclosure is impliedly authorized in order to carry out the representation or the disclosure is permitted by paragraph (b). (b) A lawyer may reveal information relating to the representation of a client to the extent the lawyer reasonably believes necessary: (1) to prevent reasonably certain death or substantial bodily harm; (2) to secure legal advice about the lawyer’s compliance with these Rules; (3) to establish a claim or defense on behalf of the lawyer in a controversy between the lawyer and the client, to establish a defense to a criminal charge or civil claim against the lawyer based upon conduct in which the client was involved or to respond to allegations in any proceeding concerning the lawyer’s representation of the client; or (4) to comply with other law or a court order.

Rule 1.7 - Conflict of Interest: Current Clients (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b), a lawyer shall not represent a client if the representation involves a concurrent conflict of interest. A concurrent conflict of interest exists if: (1) the representation of one client will be directly adverse to another client; or (2) there is a significant risk that the representation of one or more clients will be materially limited by the lawyer’s responsibilities to another client, a former client or a third person or by a personal interest of the lawyer. (b) Notwithstanding the existence of a concurrent conflict of interest under paragraph (a), a lawyer may represent a client if: (1) the lawyer reasonably believes that the lawyer will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each affected client;

(2) the representation is not prohibited by law; (3) the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client represented by the lawyer in the same litigation or other proceeding before a tribunal; and (4) each affected client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing.

for which the service is rendered, except in a matter in which a contingent fee is prohibited by paragraph (d) or other law. A contingent fee agreement shall be in a writing signed by the client and shall state the method by which the fee is to be determined, including the percentage or percentages that shall accrue to the lawyer in the event of settlement, trial or appeal; litigation and other expenses to be deducted from the recovery; and whether such expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated. The agreement must clearly notify the client of any expenses for which the client will be liable whether or not the client is the prevailing party. Upon conclusion of a contingent fee matter, the lawyer shall provide the client with a written statement stating the outcome of the matter and, if there is a recovery, showing the remittance to the client and the method of its determination. (d) A lawyer shall not enter into an arrangement for, charge or collect: (1) any fee in a domestic relations matter, the payment or amount of which is contingent upon the securing of a divorce or upon the amount of maintenance or support or property settlement in lieu thereof; or (2) a contingent fee for representing a defendant in a criminal case. (e) A division of a fee between lawyers who are not in the same firm may be made only if: (1) the division is in proportion to the services performed by each lawyer or each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation; (2) the client agrees to the arrangement, including the share each lawyer will receive, and the agreement is confirmed in writing; and (3) the total fee is reasonable.

Rule 1.8 - Conflict of Interest: Current Clients: Specific Rules

(a) A lawyer shall not enter into a business transaction with a client or knowingly acquire an ownership, possessory, security or other pecuniary interest adverse to a client unless: (1) the transaction and terms on which the lawyer acquires the interest are fair and reasonable to the client and are fully disclosed and transmitted in writing to the client in a manner that can be reasonably understood by the client; (2) in matters in which a lawyer wishes to assert a retaining lien against client property, papers or materials in the lawyer’s possession to secure payment for the lawyer’s services and costs advanced relating to such property, papers or materials, a written agreement for such a lien shall expressly set forth the limitations contained in paragraph (i)(3); (3) the client is advised in writing of the desirability of seeking and is given a reasonable opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel on the transaction; and (4) the client gives informed consent, in a writing signed by the client, to the essential terms of the transaction and the lawyer’s role in the transaction, including whether the lawyer is representing the client in the transaction. (b) A lawyer shall not use information relating to representation of a client to the disadvantage of the client unless the client gives informed consent, except as permitted or required by these Rules. (c) A lawyer shall not solicit any substantial gift from a client, including a testamentary gift, or prepare on behalf of a client an instrument giving the lawyer or a person related to the lawyer any substantial gift unless the lawyer or other recipient of the gift is related to the client. For purposes of this paragraph, related persons include a spouse, child, grandchild, parent, grandparent or other relative. (d) Prior to the conclusion of representation of a client, a lawyer shall not make or negotiate an agreement giving the lawyer literary or media rights to a portrayal or account based in substantial part on information relating to the representation. (e) A lawyer shall not provide financial assistance to a client in connection with pending or contemplated litigation, except that: (1) a lawyer may advance court costs and expenses of litigation, the repayment of which may be contingent on the outcome of the matter; (2) a lawyer representing an indigent client may pay court costs and expenses of litigation on behalf of the client; (3) a lawyer may, for the sole purpose of providing basic living expenses, guarantee a loan from a regulated financial institution whose usual business involves making loans if such loan is reasonably needed to enable the client to withstand delay in litigation that would otherwise put substantial pressure on the client to settle a case because of financial hardship rather than on the merits, provided the client remains ultimately liable for repayment of the loan without regard to the outcome of the litigation and, further provided that neither the lawyer nor anyone on his/her behalf offers, promises or advertises such financial assistance before being retained by the client. (f) A lawyer shall not accept compensation for representing a client from one other than the client unless: (1) the client gives written informed consent; (2) there is no interference with the lawyer’s independence of professional judgment or with the client-lawyer relationship; and (3) information relating to representation of a client is protected

as required by Rule 1.6. (g) A lawyer who represents two or more clients shall not participate in making an aggregate settlement of the claims of or against the clients, or in a criminal case an aggregated agreement as to guilty or nolo contendere pleas, unless each client gives informed consent, in a writing signed by the client. The lawyer’s disclosure shall include the existence and nature of all the claims or pleas involved and of the participation of each person in the settlement. (h) A lawyer shall not: (1) make an agreement prospectively limiting the lawyer’s liability to a client for malpractice unless the client is independently represented in making the agreement; or (2) settle a claim or potential claim for such liability with an unrepresented client or former client unless that person is advised in writing of the desirability of seeking and is given a reasonable opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel in connection therewith. (i) A lawyer shall not acquire a proprietary interest in the cause of action or subject matter of litigation the lawyer is conducting for a client, except that the lawyer: (1) may acquire and assert a charging lien only against causes of action or counterclaims in litigation pursuant to and only to the extent specified in MCA 37-61-420(2); such a charging lien does not extend to other client property, papers or materials in the lawyer’s possession, to any matter not in litigation, or to any matter otherwise not covered by the specific language of MCA 37-61-420(2); (2) may contract with a client for a reasonable contingent fee in a civil case; and (3) may not acquire or assert a retaining lien to secure payment due for the lawyer’s services against any client property, papers or materials other than those related to the matter for which payment has not been made and, upon termination of representation, shall deliver to the client any client property, papers or materials reasonably necessary to protect the client’s interest in the matter to which the property, papers or materials relate as provided in Rule 1.16(d).

(c) A lawyer who has formerly represented a client in a matter or whose present or former firm has formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter: (1) use information relating to the representation to the disadvantage of the former client except as these Rules would permit or require with respect to a client, or when the information has become generally known; or (2) reveal information relating to the representation except as

these Rules would permit or require with respect to a client.

Rule 1.10 - Imputation of Conflicts of Interest: General Rule

(a) While lawyers are associated in a firm, none of them shall knowingly represent a client when any one of them practicing alone would be prohibited from doing so by Rules 1.7 or 1.9 unless the prohibition is based on a personal interest of the prohibited lawyer and does not present a significant risk of materially limiting the representation of the client by the remaining lawyers in the firm. (b) When a lawyer has terminated an association with a firm, the firm is not prohibited from thereafter representing a person with interests materially adverse to those of a client represented by the formerly associated lawyer and not currently represented by the firm, unless: (1) the matter is the same or substantially related to that in which the formerly associated lawyer represented the client; and (2) any lawyer remaining in the firm has information protected by Rules 1.6 and 1.9(c) that is material to the matter. (c) When a lawyer becomes associated with a firm, no lawyer associated in the firm shall knowingly represent a person in a matter in which that lawyer is disqualified under Rule 1.9 unless: (1) the personally disqualified lawyer is timely screened from any participation in the matter and is apportioned no part of the fee therefrom; and (2) written notice is promptly given to any affected former client to enable it to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this Rule. (d) A disqualification prescribed by this Rule may be waived by the affected client under the conditions stated in Rule 1.7. (e) The disqualification of lawyers associated in a firm with former or current government lawyers is governed by Rule 1.11.

(b) When a lawyer is disqualified from representation under paragraph (a), no lawyer in a firm with which that lawyer is associated may knowingly undertake or continue representation in such a matter unless: (1) the disqualified lawyer is timely screened from any participation in the matter and is apportioned no part of the fee therefrom; and (2) written notice is promptly given to the appropriate government agency to enable it to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this Rule. (c) Except as law may otherwise expressly permit, a lawyer having information that the lawyer knows is confidential government information about a person acquired when the lawyer was a public officer or employee, may not represent a private client whose interests are adverse to that person in a matter in which the information could be used to the material disadvantage of that person. As used in this Rule, the term “confidential government information” means information that has been obtained under governmental authority and which, at the time this Rule is applied, the government is prohibited by law from disclosing to the public or has a legal privilege not to disclose and which is not otherwise available to the public. A firm

Rule 1.12 - Former Judge, Arbitrator, Settlement Master, Mediator or Other Third-Party Neutral

(a) Except as stated in paragraph (d), a lawyer shall not represent anyone in connection with a matter in which the lawyer participated personally and substantially as a judge or other adjudicative officer or law clerk to such a person or as an arbitrator, settlement master, mediator or other third-party neutral, unless all parties to the proceeding give informed consent, confirmed in writing. (b) A lawyer shall not negotiate for employment with any person who is involved as a party or as lawyer for a party in a matter in which the lawyer is participating personally and substantially as a judge or other adjudicative officer or as an arbitrator, settlement master, mediator or other third-party neutral.

(c) If a lawyer is disqualified by paragraph (a), no lawyer in a firm with which that lawyer is associated may knowingly undertake or continue representation in the matter unless: (1) the disqualified lawyer is timely screened from any participation in the matter and is apportioned no part of the fee therefrom; and (2) written notice is promptly given to the parties and any appropriate tribunal to enable them to ascertain compliance with the provisions of this Rule. (d) An arbitrator selected as a partisan of a party in a multimember arbitration panel is not prohibited from subsequently representing that party.

Rule 1.13 - Organization as Client (a) A lawyer employed or retained by an organization represents the organization acting through its duly authorized constituents. (b) If a lawyer for an organization knows that an officer, employee or other person associated with the organization is engaged in action, intends to act or refuses to act in a matter

related to the representation that is a violation of a legal obligation to the organization, or a violation of law which reasonably might be imputed to the organization, and is likely to result in substantial injury to the organization, the lawyer shall proceed as is reasonably necessary in the best interest of the organization. In determining how to proceed, the lawyer shall give due consideration to the seriousness of the violation and its consequences, the scope and nature of the lawyer’s representation, the responsibility in the organization and the apparent motivation of the person involved, the policies of the organization concerning such matters and any other relevant considerations. Any measures taken shall be designed to minimize disruption of the organization and the risk of revealing information relating to the representation to persons outside the organization. Such measures may include among others: (1) asking for reconsideration of the matter; (2) advising that a separate legal opinion on the matter be sought for presentation to appropriate authority in the organization; and (3) referring the matter to higher authority in the organization, including, if warranted by the seriousness of the matter, referral to the highest authority that can act on behalf of the organization as determined by applicable law. (c) If, despite the lawyer’s efforts in accordance with paragraph (b), the highest authority that can act on behalf of the organization insists upon action, or a refusal to act, that is clearly a violation of law and is likely to result in substantial injury to the organization, the lawyer may resign in accordance with Rule 1.16. (d) In dealing with an organization’s directors, officers, employees, members, shareholders or other constituents, a lawyer shall explain the identity of the client when the lawyer knows or reasonably should know that the organization’s interests are adverse to those of the constituents with whom the lawyer is dealing. (e) A lawyer representing an organization may also represent any of its directors, officers, employees, members, shareholders or other constituents, subject to the provisions of Rule 1.7. If the organization’s consent to the dual representation is required by Rule 1.7, the consent shall be given by an appropriate official of the organization other than the individual who is to be represented, or by the shareholders.

(e) As used in this Rule, the term “matter” includes: (1) any judicial or other proceeding, application, request for a ruling or other determination, contract, claim, controversy, investigation, charge, accusation, arrest or other particular matter involving a specific party or parties; and (2) any other matter covered by the conflict of interest rules of the appropriate government agency.

Rule 1.14 - Client with Diminished Capacity (a) When a client’s capacity to make adequately considered decisions in connection with a representation is diminished, whether because of minority, mental impairment or for some other reason, the lawyer shall, as far as reasonably possible, maintain a normal client-lawyer relationship with the client. (b) When the lawyer reasonably believes that the client has diminished capacity, is at risk of substantial physical, financial or other harm unless action is taken and cannot adequately act in the client’s own interest, the lawyer may take reasonably necessary protective action, including consulting with individuals or entities that have the ability to take action to protect the client and, in appropriate cases, seeking the appointment of a guardian ad litem, conservator or guardian. (c) Information relating to the representation of a client with diminished capacity is protected by Rule 1.6. When taking protective action pursuant to paragraph (b), the lawyer is impliedly authorized under Rule 1.6(a) to reveal information about the client, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to protect the client’s interests.

Rule 1.15 - Safekeeping Property (a) A lawyer shall hold property of clients or third persons that is in a lawyer’s possession in connection with a representation separate from the lawyer’s own property. Funds shall be kept in

(c) When in the course of representation a lawyer is in possession of property in which both the lawyer and another person claim interests, the property shall be kept separate by the lawyer until there is an accounting and severance of their interests. If a dispute arises concerning their respective interests, the portion in dispute shall be kept separate by the lawyer until the dispute is resolved.

Rule 1.16 - Declining or Terminating Representation (a) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer shall not represent a client or, where representation has commenced, shall withdraw from the representation of a client if: (1) the representation will result in violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct or other law; (2) the lawyer’s physical or mental condition materially impairs the lawyer’s ability to represent the client; or (3) the lawyer is discharged. (b) Except as stated in paragraph (c), a lawyer may withdraw from representing a client if: (1) withdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client; (2) the client persists in a course of action involving the lawyer’s services that the lawyer reasonably believes is criminal or fraudulent; (3) the client has used the lawyer’s services to perpetrate a crime or fraud; (4) the client insists upon taking action that the lawyer considers repugnant or with which the lawyer has a fundamental disagreement; (5) the client fails substantially to fulfill an obligation to the lawyer regarding the lawyer’s services and has been given reasonable warning that the lawyer will withdraw unless the obligation is fulfilled; (6) the representation will result in an unreasonable financial burden on the lawyer or has been rendered unreasonably difficult by the client; or (7) other good cause for withdrawal exists. (c) A lawyer must comply with applicable law requiring notice to or permission of a tribunal when terminating a representation. When ordered to do so by a tribunal, a lawyer shall continue representation notwithstanding good cause for terminating the representation. (d) Upon termination of representation, a lawyer shall take steps to the extent reasonably practicable to protect a client’s interests, such as giving reasonable notice to the client, allowing time for employment of other counsel, surrendering papers and property to which the client is entitled and refunding any advance payment of fee or expense that has not been earned or incurred. A lawyer is entitled to retain and is not obliged to deliver to a client or former client papers or materials personal to the lawyer or created or intended for internal use by the lawyer except as required by the limitations on the retaining lien in Rule 1.8(i). Except for those client papers which a lawyer may properly retain under the preceding sentence, a lawyer shall deliver either the

(B) No client may elect whether his/her funds should be deposited in an IOLTA Trust Account, receive interest or dividends earned on funds in an IOLTA Trust Account, or compel a lawyer/ firm to invest funds that are nominal in amount or to be held for a short period of time in a Client Trust Account. (C) The determination of whether a client’s funds are nominal in amount or to be held for a short period of time rests solely in the sound judgment of each lawyer/firm. No charge of professional misconduct or ethical impropriety shall result from a lawyer’s exercise of good faith judgment in that regard. (D) To determine if a client’s funds should be deposited in an IOLTA Trust Account, a lawyer/firm may be guided by considering: (i) the amount of interest the funds would earn during the period they are expected to be deposited; (ii) the costs of establishing and administering the account, including the lawyer’s/firm’s fees, accounting fees and tax reporting requirements; (iii) the amount of funds involved, the period of time they are expected to be held and the financial institution’s minimum balance requirements and service charges; (iv) the financial institution’s ability to calculate and pay interest to individual clients; and (v) the likelihood of delay in the relevant transaction or proceeding.

(F) Annually the Montana Justice Foundation shall make available a list of all financial institutions offering IOLTA accounts and meeting this Rule’s IOLTA depository qualifying requirements. Lawyers/firms shall be entitled to rely on the most recently published list for purposes of IOLTA Rule compliance. The Montana Justice Foundation shall pay all service charges incurred in operating an IOLTA Trust Account from IOLTA funds, to the extent the charges exceed those incurred in operating non-interest-bearing checking accounts at the same financial institution. (G) Confidentiality. The Montana Justice Foundation shall protect the confidentiality of information regarding Trust Accounts pursuant to this Rule. (3) Non-IOLTA client Trust Accounts. All client funds shall be deposited in an IOLTA Trust Account, unless they are deposited in a separate interest-bearing account for a particular client’s matter with the net interest paid to the client. Such interest must be held in trust as the property of the client as provided in this Rule for the principal funds of the client.

The seller may disclose to the court in camera information relating to the representation only to the extent necessary to obtain an order authorizing the transfer of a file. (d) The fees charged clients shall not be increased by reason of the sale.

Rule 8 - Grounds for Discipline A. Reasons for Discipline.

(7) Willful contempt of court and failure to purge the contempt. B. Relationship to Criminal Proceedings. Acquittal of a charge of crime, plea bargain, conviction of a lesser crime, or dismissal of a charge of crime after deferred imposition of sentence shall not constitute a bar to lawyer discipline for that act, nor shall conviction in a criminal proceeding be a condition precedent to the institution of disciplinary proceedings for that act.

Rule 9 - Discipline and Sanctions

A. Forms of Discipline.

(6) Requirement of restitution to persons financially injured. (7) Reimbursement to the Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection. (8) Assessment of the cost of proceedings, investigations, and audits. Whenever costs of proceedings are assessed by the Supreme Court as part of the discipline imposed upon a lawyer, the Disciplinary Counsel shall assemble and serve upon the lawyer an itemized list of those costs. The lawyer shall then have ten days thereafter in which to file written objections with the Commission on Practice and, if so desired, request a hearing before an Adjudicatory Panel on whether the amount of such costs is reasonable and necessary. An Adjudicatory Panel shall thereafter recommend an amount of costs to be imposed, and shall file its recommendation with the Supreme Court, which shall then issue an appropriate order assessing costs. (9) Interim suspension pending final determination of discipline. B. Discipline Criteria. The following factors shall be considered in determining discipline to be recommended or imposed: (1) The gravity and nature of the duty violated, including whether the duty is owed to a client, to the public, to the legal system, or to the profession; (2) The lawyer’s mental state; (3) The actual or potential injury caused by the lawyer’s misconduct; (4) The existence of aggravating or mitigating factors; and (5) The existence of prior offenses. C. Probation. A lawyer against whom disciplinary proceedings are pending may be placed on probation by the Supreme Court or, with the lawyer’s concurrence, by an Adjudicatory Panel. The probation shall be for such time and upon such terms and conditions as are determined appropriate in the case. Discipline may be imposed for violation of any of the terms and conditions of such probation, including satisfactory completion of a diversion or treatment program. D. Procedure for Discipline for Willful Contempt of Court and Failure to Purge the Contempt. Upon receipt of a certified copy of an order of contempt that has become final, the Supreme Court may, in its discretion, issue an order to show cause why the lawyer’s license to practice law should not be suspended or other discipline should not be imposed. The lawyer against whom such an order has been entered in district court shall not have the right or opportunity to re-litigate the merits of the contempt order, the right to hearing and due process having been afforded him or her in the district court. In the alternative, the Supreme Court may direct an Adjudicatory Panel to issue the order to show cause or direct the lawyer to appear before the Adjudicatory Panel. In that event, the Adjudicatory Panel shall make a written recommendation to the Supreme Court regarding suspension of the lawyer’s license or other discipline. An attorney who has been purged of the contempt order may be reinstated to practice law. Prior to reinstatement, the lawyer shall be required to pay the costs of any proceedings before the Commission on Practice. II. PROCEDURE

Upon such investigation as Disciplinary Counsel deems appropriate, he or she may: (a)(1) Send the complaint to the lawyer against whom the complaint is made; (2) Send the lawyer’s response to the complainant and, if appropriate, request his or her reply to the lawyer’s response; (3) Prepare an intake summary; and (4) Conduct an investigation and prepare an investigative report; or (b) With or without some or all of the process set forth in Rule 10C(1)(a), dismiss the complaint without prejudice, where the complaint does not appear to be within the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Court, or the facts do not appear to warrant disciplinary action. (c) Issue a letter of caution to a lawyer or take other corrective action when Disciplinary Counsel deems it appropriate. Any such action by Disciplinary Counsel is not disciplinary action. (2) Notice of Disposition. In the event of a dismissal, Disciplinary Counsel shall give written notice to the complainant and to the lawyer of the dismissal, stating the reasons for the action taken, and advising the complainant of the right to request review of the dismissal. (3) Request for Review. The complainant may file a written request for review of Disciplinary Counsel’s dismissal within 30 days of the notice of disposition pursuant to Rule 10C(2). Disciplinary Counsel’s dismissal shall be reviewed by a Review Panel upon the record before it. The Review Panel may approve, disapprove, or modify Disciplinary Counsel’s disposition.

Rule 12 - Adjudicatory Panel Procedures

Rule 13 - Adjudicatory Hearings; Admonitions Following the filing of a formal complaint, an Adjudicatory Panel may determine to sanction a lawyer by the imposition of an admonition. The Adjudicatory Panel shall determine whether to impose the admonition publicly or privately after weighing, on a case-by-case basis, the lawyer’s privacy interests and the public’s right to know. The demands of the lawyer’s individual privacy must clearly exceed the merits of public disclosure in order for an Adjudicatory Panel to impose a private admonition. An Adjudicatory Panel may do so, however, only after consulting Disciplinary Counsel and the lawyer subject to sanction, to apprise the interested parties of

Rule 14 - Request for Reconsideration by Complainant A Review or Adjudicatory Panel before which a matter is pending shall advise complainants in writing that a complainant who is not satisfied with the disposition of a complaint by the Panel may, within thirty days of receipt of notice of the disposition, petition the Panel for reconsideration. The Panel, upon reconsideration, may approve the disposition or take such other action as may be appropriate and notify the complainant and the lawyer. The Supreme Court may, in its sole discretion, review the Panel’s disposition upon reconsideration.

Rule 15 - Ex Parte Communications Prohibited Disciplinary Counsel and members of Review Panels, Adjudicatory Panels, the Commission, and the Supreme Court shall not communicate ex parte among themselves or with others regarding the merits of a pending or impending investigation or a disciplinary proceeding except as permitted by the Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement. Communications for purposes of scheduling, administration, and procedural matters shall not be prohibited but shall be conducted to assure fairness to all parties.

Rule 16 - Review by the Supreme Court

After service of a copy of the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation of discipline to the lawyer and to the lawyer’s counsel, if any, the lawyer shall have thirty days from the date of service within which to file with the Court objections to the findings of fact, conclusions of law, and recommendation of discipline, and a written brief in support thereof. The lawyer or the lawyer’s counsel shall serve upon Disciplinary Counsel a copy of any such objections and brief in support thereof. Disciplinary Counsel shall have thirty days after the date of service of such objections and written brief within which to file with the Court a written brief in opposition to such objections, and a copy of such brief shall be served upon the lawyer or the lawyer’s counsel. The Court may, in its discretion, set the matter for oral argument if the Court deems oral argument appropriate. Thereafter, or in the event objections are not filed by the lawyer, the matter shall be deemed submitted and the Court shall determine the appropriate discipline, if any, authorized by these Rules. In the event objections are not filed, the matter shall be deemed submitted at the expiration of the time for filing objections and the Supreme Court shall consider the matter, issue its written decision, and impose such discipline, if any, as it considers appropriate. In the imposition of discipline, the Court may fix a time and place

A. Complaint and Citation. When a Review Panel has determined that formal disciplinary proceedings shall be instituted against a respondent lawyer: (1) Disciplinary Counsel shall file a formal complaint with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and shall furnish a copy to the Adjudicatory Panel; (2) The complaint shall set forth the charges with sufficient clarity and particularity as to inform the lawyer of the alleged misconduct; (3) The complaint shall be signed by Disciplinary Counsel but need not be verified; and (4) The Clerk of the Supreme Court shall issue a citation which, together with a copy of the complaint, shall be served on the lawyer; the citation shall require the lawyer to file a written answer to the complaint with the Clerk within twenty days. B. Answer. (1) The lawyer shall serve a copy of the answer on the Commission and on Disciplinary Counsel. (2) If the lawyer fails to answer within the prescribed time, the charges shall be deemed admitted. An Adjudicatory Panel to which the case has been assigned may make findings and impose on the lawyer such discipline and sanctions as these Rules authorize. (3) An Adjudicatory Panel may elect to hold a hearing nothwithstanding the lawyer’s failure to answer, after notice of hearing has been given. C. Hearing, Findings, and Conclusions. (1) If the lawyer files an answer, Disciplinary Counsel shall consult with the Commission to determine a hearing date before an Adjudicatory Panel. The Commission shall file and serve upon Disciplinary Counsel, the lawyer, the lawyer’s counsel, if any, and any complainant, a notice of hearing setting forth the date, time, and place of hearing, which notice shall be served upon said persons at least twenty days in advance thereof. The lawyer is entitled to be represented by counsel, to cross-examine witnesses, and to present evidence. The hearing shall be recorded. (2) In the conduct of a hearing, the Chairperson of an Adjudicatory Panel shall have authority to rule on all motions, objections, and other matters presented in connection with the hearing. Except as may otherwise be provided herein, and except as an Adjudicatory Panel Chairperson may determine in the interests of justice and fairness, hearings in formal disciplinary proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Montana Rules of Civil Procedure and the Montana Rules of Evidence. (3) Following the hearing, an Adjudicatory Panel shall make findings of fact, conclusions of law, and a recommendation to the Supreme Court for discipline or other disposition of the case.

its reasoning for such decision and to allow for comment. An Adjudicatory Panel’s decision to close an adjudicatory hearing and/or impose an admonition, either publicly or privately, shall be final unless, within ten days of the Adjudicatory Panel’s decision, the lawyer subject to sanction, Disciplinary Counsel, or a member of the public, files a petition with the Clerk of the Supreme Court asking the Court to review the Adjudicatory Panel’s decision. The Court shall conduct an in-camera review of the Adjudicatory Panel’s decision in which it evaluates the lawyer’s privacy interest and the public’s right to know. A private admonition should be imposed only in cases of minor misconduct, when there is little or no injury to the public, the legal system, or the profession, and when there is little likelihood of repetition by the lawyer. A private admonition informs the lawyer that his or her conduct is unethical, but does not unnecessarily stigmatize a lawyer from whom the public needs no protection.

for the lawyer to appear before it. The Clerk shall notify the Commission, Disciplinary Counsel, the lawyer, and the lawyer’s counsel of the time and place of the appearance and the purpose thereof. At such time and place, the lawyer shall appear in person, may be accompanied by counsel, and may make a statement with respect to the discipline to be imposed. Thereupon, the Court shall impose such discipline as it deems appropriate. Proof of all service required herein shall be made in accordance with Rule 5(f), Montana Rules of Civil Procedure.

All of said persons are deemed officers and/or agents of the Court for all purposes mentioned in these Rules. B. From Criminal Prosecution. Upon application of Disciplinary Counsel or the Commission and after reasonable notice to and written consent from the appropriate county attorney(s), the Supreme Court may order that a witness cannot be prosecuted or subjected to any penalty or forfeiture other than a prosecution or action for perjury or contempt, for or on account of any transaction, matter, or thing concerning which the witness testified or produced in a lawyer disciplinary proceeding.

Rule 18 - Service A. Service of Complaint. Service upon the lawyer of a complaint in a formal disciplinary proceeding shall be made by personal service by any person designated by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel or authorized by law, or by mail at the last known address of the lawyer, and proof thereof shall be made as provided in Rule 4, Montana Rules of Civil Procedure. For the purposes of this Rule, any attorney who is the subject of a disciplinary matter shall: (1) accept any and all mail from the Montana Supreme Court, the Commission on Practice, or the Office of Disciplinary Counsel to their current address as listed with the State Bar of Montana; and (2) acknowledge and stipulate that any person who may sign for certified mail at that address is an authorized agent for the purpose of notice and service in a disciplinary matter.

Any member of the Commission may, at the request of an investigator, the Office of Disciplinary Counsel, or the lawyer, compel, by subpoena, the attendance of witnesses and the production of pertinent books, papers, and documents. Any person subpoenaed to appear and give testimony or to produce pertinent books, papers, or documents, who fails or refuses to appear or to produce such books, papers, or documents, or any person having been sworn to testify who refuses to answer any proper questions, may upon request of the Commission or the Office of Disciplinary Counsel be cited for contempt of the Supreme Court. The Commission or the Office of Disciplinary Counsel shall report to the Court the facts relating to any such contempt. Thereupon, proceedings before the Supreme Court shall be had as in cases of other contempts. The Supreme Court may, upon proper application, enforce the attendance of any witness and the production of any documents subpoenaed. C. Quashing Subpoena.

Rule 20 - Access to Disciplinary Information A. Confidentiality. All disciplinary information provided to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel and proceedings before the Commission on Practice prior to the filing of a formal complaint with the Clerk of the Supreme Court shall be confidential, except that Disciplinary Counsel may disclose information if: (1) The respondent has waived confidentiality; (2) The proceeding is based upon allegations that include either the conviction of a crime or reciprocal discipline; (3) The proceeding is based upon allegations that have become generally known to the public; (4) There is a need to notify another person or organization, including the Lawyers Fund for Client Protection Board, the Commission on Character and Fitness, other lawyer disciplinary agencies, law enforcement agencies, and the Lawyer’s Assistance Program, in order to protect the public, the administration of justice, or the legal profession, unless Disciplinary Counsel reasonably determines that disclosure would hinder an ongoing investigation or prosecution, infringe upon the privacy interests of a reporting or other third party, or constitute an unduly broad or burdensome request; or, (5) There is a need to disclose information to third parties while investigating a complaint. B. Public Information. Upon the filing of a formal complaint with the Clerk of the Supreme Court in a disciplinary matter, or upon the filing with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of a petition for reinstatement, the proceedings before the Commission and pleadings and other documents filed with the Clerk or Commission shall be public except for:

Rule 21 - Dissemination of Disciplinary Information

Notice of Discipline Imposed. The Clerk of the Supreme Court shall cause copies of orders and notices of transfer to disability/inactive status, public censure, suspension, disbarment, and reinstatement to be given to the Clerks of all of the District Courts of the State of Montana, all of the District Judges of the State of Montana, the Clerk of the Federal District Court for the District of Montana, the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Appeals of the Ninth Circuit, the Chairperson of the Commission, and the Executive Director of the State Bar of Montana, or as the Supreme Court otherwise may direct.

Rule 22- Additional Rules of Procedure

A. Proceedings Governed by Rules of Civil Procedure. Except as otherwise provided in these Rules, the Rules of Civil Procedure of the State of Montana apply in disciplinary cases. B. Standard of Proof. Formal charges of misconduct and grounds for reinstatement shall be established by clear and convincing evidence. C. Burden of Proof. The burden of proof in formal proceedings seeking discipline is on Disciplinary Counsel. The burden of proof in reinstatement proceedings is on the person seeking reinstatement. D. Availability of Hearing Transcript. A copy of the record of a hearing shall be made available to the lawyer at his or her expense on request made to the Commission. E. Related Pending Litigation. The proceeding of a disciplinary matter shall not be delayed because of substantial similarity to the material allegations of pending criminal or civil litigation unless a Review Panel or an Adjudicatory Panel in its discretion authorizes a stay for good cause shown, but only after notice to the complainant, Disciplinary Counsel, the lawyer, and the lawyer’s counsel, and opportunity to be heard by the complainant. F. Delay Caused by Complainant. Neither unwillingness nor neglect of the complainant to sign a complaint nor to prosecute a charge, nor a settlement, nor a compromise between the complainant and the lawyer, nor restitution by the lawyer shall, in itself, justify abatement of the processing of any complaint. G. Effect of Time Limitations. Except as is otherwise provided in these Rules, time is directory and not jurisdictional. Failure to observe prescribed time intervals may result in sanctions against the violator but does not justify abatement of any disciplinary investigation or proceeding. H. Complaints Against Commission Members. Allegations of grounds for discipline against members of the Commission shall be processed in the same manner as allegations against nonmembers of the Commission; provided, however, that the Commission member against whom such allegations are made shall be disqualified from participating in any manner

as a Commission member with respect to that matter. Further, in the event of allegations of grounds for discipline being made against any member of the Commission, the Supreme Court will be immediately notified of such allegations, and the Commission will keep the Court informed in a timely manner of the status of the matter. I. Dismissed Complaints. A complaint which is dismissed or upon which no disciplinary action is taken or recommended shall be expunged from Commission and Disciplinary Counsel records and for all purposes shall be considered as null, void, and nonexistent.

Rule 23 - Lawyers Convicted of a Criminal Offense A. Transmittal of Certificate of Conviction. The clerk or other official of any court in this state in which a lawyer subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Supreme Court has been convicted of a criminal offense shall, within thirty days of the date of conviction, transmit a certificate of conviction to the Supreme Court, Disciplinary Counsel, and the Commission on Practice. B. Procedure on Receipt of Certificate of Conviction. Upon receipt of the certificate of conviction, the Supreme Court, either on its own motion or on that of Disciplinary Counsel, shall determine whether the criminal offense is one which affects the lawyer’s ability to practice law. If the Court determines that the lawyer was found guilty of a criminal offense that affects the lawyer’s ability to practice law, the Supreme Court shall enter an order immediately suspending the lawyer from the practice of law pending final disposition of a disciplinary proceeding predicated upon the conviction. The Supreme Court shall in the same order direct Disciplinary Counsel to prepare and file a formal complaint against the lawyer predicated upon the conviction. If the criminal offense does not involve the lawyer’s ability to practice law, the Supreme Court shall enter an order to that effect and, thereafter, the matter shall be processed like any other information coming to the attention of the Commission. The Court need not give notice to the lawyer, nor shall a hearing be required prior to its determination of whether the criminal offense of which the lawyer was convicted was one which affects the lawyer’s ability to practice law, nor shall a hearing be required prior to the Supreme Court’s entering an interim order of suspension. A copy of any order entered pursuant to this Rule shall be served upon the lawyer, Disciplinary Counsel, and the Commission. Upon good cause shown, the Court may in the interest of justice set aside or modify the interim suspension; however, the interim suspension may not be set aside solely by reason of a pending appeal of the conviction to the Supreme Court or because of an appeal by trial de novo. C. Formal Proceedings After a Conviction. The sole issue to be determined in the formal disciplinary proceedings conducted after a lawyer is convicted of a criminal offense which affects the lawyer’s ability to practice law shall be the extent of the final discipline to be imposed, provided that a disciplinary proceeding so instituted will not be brought to hearing until all appeals from the conviction are concluded unless the lawyer requests that the matter not be deferred. D. Certificate of Conviction Conclusive. A certificate of conviction of a lawyer for a criminal offense shall be conclusive evidence of the commission of that crime in any disciplinary proceeding instituted against the lawyer based upon the conviction. E. Automatic Reinstatement From Interim Suspension Upon Reversal of Conviction. If a lawyer suspended solely under the provisions of paragraph B above demonstrates that the

(1) Deliberations and minutes of the Commission; (2) Information or proceedings with respect to which an Adjudicatory Panel or Supreme Court has issued a protective order; (3) Conditional admissions and affidavits of consent submitted pursuant to Rule 26 of these Rules until, and if, approved by the Court and public discipline is imposed; and (4) Hearings conducted pursuant to Rule 26 of these Rules. C. Admissibility in Other Proceedings. The conclusions, opinions, and recommendations of Disciplinary Counsel or any investigator or special counsel acting on behalf of the Office of Disciplinary Counsel while acting in those capacities are not relevant or admissible for any purpose in any quasi-judicial or judicial forum, exclusive of the Commission on Practice and the Montana Supreme Court in a disciplinary action.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

underlying conviction has been reversed or vacated, the order for interim suspension shall be vacated and the lawyer placed on active status. The vacating of the interim suspension will not automatically terminate any formal proceeding then pending against the lawyer, the disposition of which shall be determined by the Adjudicatory Panel on the basis of the available evidence. F. Notice to Clients and Others on Interim Suspension. An interim suspension order entered pursuant to this Rule shall constitute a suspension of the lawyer for purposes of Rule 21.

Rule 24 - Failure to Respond to the Office of Disciplinary Counsel or the Commission

If a lawyer subject to the jurisdiction of the Commission should fail or refuse to promptly and fully respond to a complaint or other inquiry communicated to such lawyer in writing by the Office of Disciplinary Counsel or the Adjudicatory or Review Panel before which the matter is pending, the Panel, in addition to other proceedings authorized by these Rules, may direct such lawyer to appear before the Panel and show cause why appropriate discipline or sanction should not be imposed for failure to respond or cooperate. If the matter is pending before a Review Panel, and the lawyer fails to show good cause, the Review Panel shall refer the matter to an Adjudicatory Panel. Notice of such show cause hearing shall be served upon the lawyer at least twenty days prior to the hearing. If at such hearing the lawyer shall fail to respond or show a just or reasonable cause for not responding, then in addition to the disciplines and sanctions otherwise provided by these Rules, the Adjudicatory Panel may, upon determination of its appropriateness, recommend to the Supreme Court the immediate interim suspension of such lawyer for a period not to exceed thirty days, or such earlier date as the attorney shall fully respond to and cooperate with the Disciplinary Counsel and the Commission on Practice.

Rule 25 - Conduct Constituting Threat of Harm to Clients A. Transmittal of Evidence. Upon receipt of evidence constituting probable cause that a lawyer subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Supreme Court has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct or is incapacitated and, in either case, poses a substantial threat of serious harm to clients or the public, an Adjudicatory Panel shall: (1) Transmit the evidence to the Supreme Court together with a proposed order for interim suspension; and (2) Contemporaneously make a reasonable attempt to provide the lawyer with notice, which may include notice by electronic means, that a proposed order for interim suspension has been transmitted to the Supreme Court. B. Interim Suspension. The Supreme Court may, on its own motion or based upon a recommendation to it by an Adjudicatory Panel, direct a lawyer to appear before the Supreme Court and show cause why the lawyer’s license to practice law should not be suspended during the pendency of either criminal proceedings or disciplinary proceedings and, after a hearing, the Supreme Court may enter an order suspending the lawyer’s license for a definite or indefinite period, or may discharge the order to show cause. In the event the order suspending license is entered, the Supreme Court may appoint a trustee pursuant to Rule 33 to protect clients’ interests. Further, the Court may make an order relieving the lawyer of any fiduciary position held by the lawyer and appoint a trustee to assume those fiduciary positions. C. Notice to Clients. The lawyer suspended pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, or the lawyer’s trustee appointed

pursuant to Rule 33, if one is so appointed, shall comply with the notice requirements of Rules 30 and 32.

Rule 26 - Discipline by Consent A. Adjudicatory Panel Approval of Tendered Admission. A lawyer against whom formal disciplinary proceedings have been filed may tender a conditional admission to the complaint or to particular allegations therein in exchange for a stated form of discipline. The tendered admission shall be submitted to an Adjudicatory Panel. An Adjudicatory Panel may refer the tendered admission to the Disciplinary Counsel for recommendations. The Adjudicatory Panel may either approve or reject the tendered admission. The Adjudicatory Panel may hold a private hearing for the purpose of obtaining information to aid the Adjudicatory Panel in determining whether to approve or reject the tendered admission. If the tendered admission is approved by the Adjudicatory Panel, such approval shall be final if the stated form of discipline is an admonition, probation imposed by an Adjudicatory Panel as provided in Rule 9C of these Rules, or both, with or without imposition of costs of the proceeding; but, in all other instances, the tendered admission shall be subject to approval or rejection by the Supreme Court. If the tendered admission is rejected by either the Adjudicatory Panel or the Supreme Court, the admission shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be used against the lawyer in any subsequent proceedings. B. Affidavit of Consent. A tendered admission shall include an affidavit stating the lawyer’s consent to the discipline and that: (1) The lawyer’s consent is freely and voluntarily tendered, and that the lawyer is not being subjected to coercion or duress, and that the lawyer is fully aware of the implications of submitting the consent; (2) The lawyer is aware that there has been a formal charge filed against the lawyer, the nature of which the lawyer shall specifically set forth; and (3) The lawyer acknowledges that the material facts so alleged are true or the lawyer submits his or her consent because he or she knows that if the case proceeded to a formal hearing, he or she could not successfully defend himself or herself. The final order of discipline shall be predicated upon the formal complaint, the conditional admission, the affidavit, and such other information and evidence to which the Disciplinary Counsel and the lawyer may have stipulated, or which may have been elicited at a private hearing referred to in Rule 26A. C. Order of Discipline. If the discipline by consent is a form of discipline that may be imposed by the Adjudicatory Panel, the Adjudicatory Panel shall enter the order. In all other instances in which the proposed discipline has been approved, the Supreme Court shall enter the order. The order of discipline by consent shall be filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court, and a copy thereof shall be served upon the lawyer, the lawyer’s counsel, the Commission, Disciplinary Counsel, and the complainant. D. Confidentiality. All tendered admission proceedings prior to entry of a consent discipline order shall be confidential and subject to the provisions of Rule 20 of these Rules. Upon entry of an order imposing public discipline, the conditional admission and affidavit of consent shall be filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and made public.

Rule 27 - Reciprocal Discipline A. Commission to Obtain Order of Discipline from Other Jurisdiction. Upon being disciplined in another jurisdiction, a lawyer admitted to practice in Montana shall promptly inform the Supreme Court, the Commission, and Disciplinary Counsel of such action. Upon notification that a lawyer subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Supreme Court has been

Rule 28 - Disability/Inactive Status A. Grounds. A lawyer subject to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the Supreme Court shall be transferred to disability/inactive status if: (1) The lawyer asserts an inability to assist in the defense of disciplinary proceedings; (2) The lawyer is determined, upon hearing, to have a physical or mental condition which adversely affects the lawyer’s ability to practice law to the extent that the lawyer is incapacitated from continuing to practice law; or (3) The lawyer is judicially declared incompetent or involuntarily committed on grounds of incompetency or disability by a court of competent jurisdiction. B. Proceedings. (1) Proceedings to determine a lawyer’s inability to assist in the defense of disciplinary proceedings or to determine incapacity shall be conducted in the same manner as formal disciplinary proceedings pursuant to Rules 11 and 12, except that all of the proceedings shall be confidential. (2) Counsel may be appointed by the Commission to represent a lawyer without adequate representation. (3) The Adjudicatory Panel may order examination of the lawyer by qualified medical experts selected by the Adjudicatory Panel.

C. Report and Recommendation. The report and recommendation of the Adjudicatory Panel shall be subject to review and determination by the Supreme Court as provided in Rule 16. D. Notice of Transfer. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, notice of transfer to disability/inactive status shall be given to those persons and in the manner provided in Rule 30. E. Term of Disability/Inactive Status. Transfer to disability/ inactive status, unless otherwise specified by order, shall be for an indefinite period and may include such terms and conditions for reinstatement as may be appropriate. F. Stay of Disciplinary Proceedings. Pending disciplinary proceedings shall be deferred during the period of a lawyer’s inability to defend. Such proceedings shall be heard and disposed of as provided in these Rules upon reinstatement of the lawyer to active status. G. Reinstatement. (1) A lawyer transferred to disability/inactive status may petition for transfer to active status after six months, or such other time period specified in the order of transfer, or in subsequent orders. (2) Upon receipt of a petition for transfer to active status, the Adjudicatory Panel shall schedule a hearing on the petition as soon as practicable. Proceedings for transfer to active status shall be conducted in the same manner as formal proceedings pursuant to Rule 29, except that all of the proceedings shall be confidential. The Adjudicatory Panel may order examination of the lawyer by qualified medical experts selected by the Adjudicatory Panel. (3) A petition for transfer to active status shall be granted upon a showing by clear and convincing evidence that the disability has been removed. (4) A lawyer previously judicially declared incompetent may petition for immediate transfer to active status, without hearing, upon proof of judicial declaration of competency by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Rule 29 - Reinstatement A. After Suspension of Six Months or Less. A lawyer suspended for no more than six months may resume practice at the end of the period of suspension by filing with the Court, and serving upon the executive secretary of the Commission and Disciplinary Counsel an affidavit alleging that the lawyer has fully complied with the requirements of the suspension order, and paying any required fees and costs ordered by the Court. B. After Disbarment or Suspension for More Than Six Months. Subject to the limitations set forth in Rule 29C, any lawyer who shall have been disbarred or who shall have been suspended indefinitely or for more than six months may, by verified petition, apply for: (1) An order of reinstatement; (2) An order shortening the term of a fixed period of suspension; or (3) An order modifying an order of indefinite period of suspension by fixing a definite period of suspension. Such petition shall bear the case number and caption appearing in the order of discipline, and an original and one copy thereof shall be filed with Disciplinary Counsel, the Commission on Practice, and by the Commission filed with the Clerk of the Supreme Court and made a part of the record in said case. Such petition shall set forth the facts that show the lawyer contends that he or she has rehabilitated himself or herself, or that he or she is entitled to have the order of discipline vacated, terminated, or modified. C. Time for Filing Petition. (1) A lawyer suspended from practice may not petition for

disciplined in another jurisdiction, Disciplinary Counsel shall obtain a certified copy of the disciplinary order and file it with the Commission and with the Supreme Court. B. Notice Served Upon the Lawyer. Upon receipt of a certified copy of an order demonstrating that a lawyer admitted to practice in Montana has been disciplined in another jurisdiction, the Court shall forthwith issue a notice directed to the lawyer containing the following: (1) A copy of the order from the other jurisdiction; and (2) An order directing that the lawyer inform the Court, within thirty days from the date of service of the notice, of any claim by the lawyer predicated upon the grounds set forth in paragraph D of this Rule, that the imposition of the identical discipline in the state of Montana would be unwarranted and the reasons therefor. C. Effect of Stay of Discipline in Other Jurisdiction. In the event the discipline imposed in the other jurisdiction has been stayed there, any reciprocal discipline imposed in Montana may be deferred until the stay expires. D. Discipline to be Imposed. Upon the expiration of thirty days from service of the notice pursuant to the provisions of paragraph B of this Rule, the Supreme Court shall impose the identical discipline unless the lawyer demonstrates, or the Court finds, that upon the face of the record from which the discipline was predicated it clearly appears that: (1) The procedure was so lacking in notice or opportunity to be heard as to constitute a deprivation of due process; (2) That there was such infirmity of proof establishing the misconduct as to give rise to the clear conviction that the Supreme Court could not, consistent with its duty, accept as final the conclusion on that subject; (3) The imposition of the same discipline by the Supreme Court would result in grave injustice; or (4) The misconduct established warrants substantially different discipline in the State of Montana. If the Supreme Court determines that any of those elements exists, it shall enter such other order as it deems appropriate. E. Conclusiveness of Adjudication in Other Jurisdiction. In all other aspects, a final adjudication in another jurisdiction that a lawyer has been guilty of misconduct shall establish conclusively the misconduct for purposes of a disciplinary proceeding in the state of Montana.

~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~ Rule Section ~

reinstatement earlier than ninety days prior to the end of the period of the fixed term or minimum fixed term of the suspension. (2) A lawyer serving an indefinite suspension beyond the minimum fixed term may petition for reinstatement at any time. (3) No petition for reinstatement shall be filed by a disbarred lawyer until five years after the effective date of disbarment. D. Hearing and Notice on Application. Upon receipt of a petition, the Commission shall, within ninety days after receipt of such petition, or such later date as may be mutually agreed upon by petitioner and the Commission, schedule an Adjudicatory Panel hearing on the petition. The petitioner shall have the burden of demonstrating by clear and convincing evidence that he or she meets the following criteria or, if not, has presented good and sufficient reason why he or she should nevertheless be reinstated: (1) The lawyer has fully complied with the terms of all prior disciplinary orders; (2) The lawyer has not engaged nor attempted to engage in the unauthorized practice of law; (3) If the lawyer was suffering under a physical or mental disability or infirmity at the time of suspension, including alcohol or other drug abuse, the disability or infirmity has been removed, and where alcohol or other drug abuse was a causative factor in the lawyer’s misconduct, the lawyer: (a) has pursued appropriate rehabilitative treatment; and (b) has abstained from the use of alcohol or other drugs for at least one year, and is likely to continue to abstain from alcohol or other drugs; (4) The lawyer recognizes the wrongfulness and seriousness of the misconduct; (5) The lawyer has not engaged in any other professional misconduct since suspension; (6) The lawyer has the requisite honesty and integrity to practice law; and (7) The lawyer has kept informed about recent developments in the law and is competent to practice. The proceedings before the Adjudicatory Panel relating to such petition shall be governed by the applicable provisions of these Rules governing hearings in disciplinary proceedings including Rule 20 concerning confidentiality, unless otherwise provided herein or unless otherwise ordered by the Court. Notice of such hearing shall be given to the public in such manner and to such extent as the Adjudicatory Panel deems appropriate in each case. In any event, notice of such application or petition shall be given to the Supreme Court, all of the Judges of the District Courts of the State of Montana, all of the Federal District Judges of the District of Montana, and the Executive Director of the State Bar of Montana. The notice of hearing shall set forth that any interested person may testify at the hearing. An Adjudicatory Panel may request Disciplinary Counsel to investigate the allegations set forth in the petition for reinstatement and present relevant evidence at the hearing. E. Deposit for Cost of Proceeding. Upon receipt of a petition for reinstatement, an Adjudicatory Panel, before proceeding further, may require the petitioner to deposit with the Commission an amount deemed reasonable by the Commission to cover anticipated costs of the reinstatement proceedings. F. Recommendation of Commission and Action by Court. The Adjudicatory Panel shall make a written recommendation to the Supreme Court on the petition for reinstatement, including the imposition of such conditions to reinstatement as it deems appropriate to protect the public interest. Thereupon the Supreme Court shall, in the exercise of its discretion, take such action as it deems advisable.

Rule 30 - Notice to Clients and Others A. Recipients of Notice and Contents of Notice. Unless otherwise ordered by the Adjudicatory Panel or the Supreme Court, within ten days after the date of the order of the Court imposing the discipline of disbarment or suspension, the lawyer shall notify or cause to be notified by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested: (1) All clients being represented in pending matters; (2) Any co-counsel in pending matters; (3) Any opposing counsel in pending matters or, in the absence of such counsel, the adverse parties, that the Court has ordered the disbarment or suspension of the lawyer and that the lawyer is therefore disqualified to act as a lawyer after the effective date of the order; and (4) any court in which the respondent attorney appears as counsel of record in any pending matter in compliance with Uniform District Court Rule 10 (and any corresponding Local Rule), as well as § 37-61-403, MCA. B. Notice to Clients of Lawyers Who Are Disbarred or Suspended. The lawyer shall deliver to all clients being represented in pending matters any papers or other property to which they are entitled and shall notify them and any counsel representing them of a suitable time and place where the papers and other property may be obtained, calling attention to any urgency for obtaining the papers or other property. C. Notification to Court. In the event the client does not obtain another lawyer before the effective date of the disbarment or suspension, it shall be the responsibility of the lawyer to notify in writing the judge of the court having jurisdiction of the pending matter of the circumstances.

Rule 31 - Effective Date of Order, Winding Up of Affairs Orders imposing discipline shall be effective immediately upon entry, unless the Adjudicatory Panel or the Supreme Court specifies otherwise in the order. The lawyer, after entry of a disbarment or suspension order, shall not engage as a lawyer for any new case or legal matter of any nature. The lawyer shall refund any part of any fees paid in advance which have not been earned.

Rule 32 - Affidavit Filed with Court Within twenty days after the effective date of the disbarment or suspension order, the lawyer shall file with the Supreme Court, the Adjudicatory Panel, and the Disciplinary Counsel an affidavit showing: (1) The lawyer has fully complied with the provisions of the order and with these Rules; (2) A list of all other state, federal, and administrative jurisdictions to which the lawyer is admitted to practice; and (3) The lawyer’s residence or other addresses where communications may thereafter be directed to him or her.

Rule 33 - Appointment of Trustee to Protect Client’ Interest When the Lawyer has been Disbarred or Suspended

A. Inventory of the Lawyer’s Files. If a lawyer has been disbarred or suspended and there is evidence the lawyer has not complied with Rule 30, and no partner, personal representative, or other responsible party capable of conducting the lawyer’s affairs is known to exist, the presiding judge in the judicial district in which the lawyer maintained his or her practice, upon proper proof of the fact, shall appoint an attorney or attorneys as trustees to inventory the files of the lawyer, and to take such action as seems indicated to protect the interest of the lawyer and the lawyer’s clients.

Rule 34 - Verification of Bank Accounts Whenever Disciplinary Counsel has probable cause to believe that the bank accounts of a lawyer that contain, should contain, or have contained funds belonging to clients, have not been properly maintained or that the funds have not been properly handled, the Disciplinary Counsel may initiate an investigation for the purpose of verifying the accuracy and integrity of all bank accounts maintained by the lawyer, and an investigator may be appointed by Disciplinary Counsel for that purpose. Investigations, examinations, and verifications shall be conducted so as to preserve the private and confidential nature of the lawyer’s records insofar as is consistent with these Rules and the attorney-client privilege, provided, however, that all investigatory materials may be provided to, or exchanged with, the State Bar of Montana, Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection.

Rule 35 - Effective Date These rules are effective January 1, 2011, provided, however, that any matter then pending shall be concluded under the procedure existing prior to the effective date of these Rules.

B. Protection for Records Subject to Inventory. Any attorney so appointed shall not be permitted to disclose any information contained in any files inventoried without the consent of the client to whom the file relates, except as necessary to carry out the order of the court which appointed the attorney to make the inventory.

Standards of Professional Courtesy to Clients I will try to achieve a desirable and just result for my clients as quickly and inexpensively as possible considering all available methods of dispute resolution. I will communicate regularly with my clients and inform them of all developments. I will respond promptly and courteously to their telephone calls and letters. I will discuss with my clients a timetable for handling the case, estimate fees and costs, and provide them with a realistic evaluation of the potential outcome. I will be loyal to my clients’ confidences and secrets. I will diligently represent my clients and I will give them objective and independent advice. I will avoid using tactics that intentionally delay a case, harass or abuse another party, or drain a party’s financial resources. I will act in a civil and courteous manner at all times. While I recognize that disagreements between parties may cause harsh feelings, I will act with compassion and not make personal attacks on other parties, their lawyers, or the court. I will consider my clients’ time to be as valuable as my own and will not keep them waiting for appointments. 286 ©2011 Lawyers’ Deskbook & Directory

Standards of Professional Courtesy Among Attorneys We will serve our community and our profession and will rededicate ourselves to the highest ideals of the profession not only for the benefit of the public but also for the enrichment of the system of justice. We will remember a dispute is between the parties and not between the attorneys. Effective representation does not require antagonistic behavior. We will never intentionally mislead another attorney. We will practice law so that we need few favors from opposing counsel, but we will practice law so that when we need a favor, opposing counsel will not refuse us. We will be civil and prompt in all communications and will return telephone calls and respond to letters in a timely manner. We will not quarrel over matters of form or style, but will concentrate on matters of substance. We will refrain from making and will not tolerate derogatory comments or personal attacks upon other attorneys, their clients, or the judiciary. We will contact opposing counsel before scheduling hearings or noticing depositions. We will cooperate with opposing counsel in responding to all reasonable requests for scheduling accommodations, for extensions of time, and waiver of procedural formalities. We will prepare documents accurately, reflecting the agreement of the parties and will observe all understandings and adhere to all agreements with other attorneys. We will not practice by default or by taking advantage of opposing counsel on technicalities. Unless it is necessary for protection of our clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s case and is fully justified by the circumstances, we will not seek sanctions or disqualification of opposing counsel.

Standards of Professional Courtesy and Ethics Between the Judiciary and Attorneys The protection and preservation of the dignity, independence, credibility, fairness and efficiency of the administration of justice is the indivisible and primary responsibility of the bench and the bar. There are, however, discrete functions that attach to this responsibility which are defined by the following specific standards. Courts not only implement but symbolize the administration of justice and their effective ness depends upon public trust and belief. The judiciary must therefore refrain from conduct or unjust or unnecessary criticism that will bring disrespect to the judiciary. Courts have a fundamental duty to insure full and complete justice to all parties regardless of the case or the identity of the party. Judges should generally rule in accordance with applicable statutes, precedents and facts regardless of personal bias or conviction, without regard to the effect on the parties and with a full and balanced exposition of the reasons for all rulings. Attorneys are bound, as officers of the court, to inform the court of all applicable laws and not to misrepresent to the court any pertinent fact, regardless of the effect such law or fact may have on the courtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ruling or the judgement of a jury. The proper administration of justice requires disposition of all cases in as expeditious and economical manner as is consistent with full presentation, consideration and deliberation. Attorneys are therefore required to minimize undue delay, to cooperate fully with clients and opposing counsel in advancing cases in an orderly and timely fashion, and to bring to the attention of the court for appropriate action any impermissible delay. The judiciary is likewise required to minimize delays, inadvertent or intended; to promulgate rules and procedures for the rapid and complete disposition of all cases, enforce diligently and impartially such rules and procedures, and to decide promptly all matters submitted to it. Strong public support of the judicial system is vital to the ability of the bench and bar to discharge their duties. The bench and bar shall accord common courtesy, respect, and civility on all occasions to all persons involved in the judicial process. The bench and bar shall always be conscious of the broader duty to the administration of justice and their duty to the legal system. In sum, the bench and bar shall act to ensure that all judicial proceedings are conducted in a manner which will preserve and foster the integrity of the judicial system. 288 ÂŠ2011 Lawyersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Deskbook & Directory

Ten Commandments for Trial Lawyers 1. Never lie to or mislead another lawyer. 2. Don’t make a practice of practicing by default, or of taking advantage of opposing counsel on technicalities. There are cases in which a client’s interest may be the overriding consideration, but all too often the phrase, “I have to protect my client’s rights”, is used to justify unprofessional action. This guideline is particularly applicable where whatever advantage you are seeking can be corrected by opposing counsel with a motion and hearing before a judge. 3. Never force the opposing counsel to do something the hard way, such as requiring the filing of a superfluous Court order. 4. Promptly return all telephone calls of other lawyers. 5. Try to accommodate an opposing lawyer’s schedule as far as reasonably possible. 6. On discovery matters, call opposing counsel and try to work out problems rather than precipitously resorting to motion practice and applications for sanctions. Remember, motions to compel discovery are sometimes absolutely necessary, but are unsatisfactory a great percentage of time -- and judges don’t like them. 7. Practice law so that you need few favors from opposing counsel, but also practice law so that when you need a favor, opposing counsel will not refuse you. 8. Avoid brash and militant stances. Being militant tends to give opposing counsel extra incentive to come after you, and reduces the likelihood of compromise. A corollary of this guideline is to avoid unnecessarily abrasive letters. Too many lawyers believe a nasty letter will gain an advantage when, in fact, all it does is squelch civilized communication. When you write a letter, consider for a moment what effect it will have. 9. Don’t bad-mouth other lawyers. 10. Always be willing to give advice to other lawyers upon request. -- George C. Dalthorp, Esq., Montana (1986)

SAMPLE FEE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUCTIONS & COMMENTS DISCLAIMER The State Bar of Montana makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, concerning the legal adequacy or enforceability of any of the accompanying forms or any part of them. Nothing in these “Instructions and Comments” or in the forms shall be interpreted or construed as such a representation or warranty. These “Instructions and Comments” and the forms are intended for use only by lawyers admitted to practice in Montana, who are expected to utilize their own independent legal and business judgment when evaluating the forms and these comments. LIMITATIONS The accompanying forms are samples only. They are not mandatory forms. They enjoy no preferred status. They create no minimum standards. They do not presume to address every setting in which the attorney-client relationship arises, nor do they contain every term a fee contract might include. By enumerating certain charges and billing practices, we do not suggest that you must or should adopt them. We simply acknowledge that some lawyers follow them. We have varied the samples in content and style. The short forms are written in formal, contractual language, while the long forms are more colloquial. We have made no effort to tailor the samples to any particular specialty nor to cover every variation. Lawyers are encouraged to mold the samples to fit their needs. FIXED FEE/NON-REFUNDABLE CONTRACTS The issue of non-refundability raises the specter of an unconscionable fee. Lawyers should be aware that they may be required to refund all or part of the fixed fee, to avoid violating the prohibition against unconscionable fees. Lawyers should take extreme care in defining what will and will not be done under the fixed fee agreement. Inattention to this point can result in a lawyer doing far more work than expected, all for a fixed fee. If a lawyer withdraws before completing the contract, the client may be entitled to a refund because the fee retained would be unconscionable under Rule 1.5 of the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS—INTEREST AND ARBITRATION There are innumerable additional provisions that a lawyer can include in a fee agreement. For example, you may want to add clauses on arbitration and assessing interest on unpaid fees. An attorney may not charge interest for an unpaid fee without prior written agreement with the client. ENGAGEMENT/DISENGAGEMENT LETTERS A sample engagement letter is included below. It is also advised that attorneys conclude their representation of a client with a disengagement letter and effort to return the file and all original documents to the client. SAMPLE ENGAGEMENT LETTER Letterhead Date Client Address Block Re: Arrangements Concerning Legal Representation by this Firm Dear ____________: Thank you for asking _________ to (advise/represent) you regarding __________. Whenever we are engaged to provide legal services, we think it appropriate to put the terms of the engagement in writing. That is the purpose of this letter. Engagement We will provide legal services professionally and efficiently, consult with you concerning the goals of the representation, and keep you advised about the services provided and about actions taken by other parties or the courts that impact the representation. Of course, we cannot guarantee that you will be successful in achieving the goals of the representation. Rates Generally, our services are billed on an hourly basis. In this matter, my rate is $____ per hour. Other attorneys, legal professionals, or consultants may perform work for you, which will be billed to you at reasonable and appropriate hourly rates. Our hourly rates may be adjusted at the beginning of each calendar year. Occasionally, our fees will vary from strict hourly fees. For example, if we spend more time than seems reasonable on a particular task, or our advice results in wasted time or increased expenses for you, we may reduce the bill below our hourly rates. On the other hand, if we accomplish a particular task more efficiently because we have recently performed a similar task for another client, or if we obtain an especially favorable result, we may charge more than our standard hourly rate. Costs We will not bill you for most long distance calls or for providing copies of documents either by e-mail or on disk. We will bill for extraordinary telephone charges, such as conference calls, and for copying charges to reproduce voluminous documents and postage to mail them to you or to others. You can save on those costs by agreeing to receive your copies by fax or e-mail.

291

( Note: Attorney-client privileges may not be protected when using this method of communication with a client.) We will charge for the costs of extraordinary computerized legal research, travel expenses, wire-transfer fees, and other expenses directly related to represent you. Billing and Payments We will bill you once a month. Our statement will detail the services performed and expenses incurred. If you have questions or concerns about any statement, please call us immediately. Prompt payment will be appreciated. We are not in the business of extending credit to our clients. Statements that are not paid within thirty (30) days after receipt will accrue interest on the unpaid balance at the rate of ____ percent (___%) per month. If we have to take legal action to collect amounts due from you, you agree to pay all reasonable costs of collection, including all interest, expert witness fees and attorney fees. If a money judgment is rendered in your favor in a matter in which we are representing you, we will have a lien on that judgment for any unpaid fees or costs. Termination You may discontinue using our services or change to other counsel at any time. Notice of such a change should be in writing. We may terminate our representation of you if you fail to pay our bills when due, or if you insist that we pursue objectives that we consider repugnant, imprudent, unprofessional, or unethical. Regardless of who terminates our relationship or why, you must pay for services provided and costs incurred through the date of termination. If you have questions about anything set forth in this letter, please call me to discuss them. Otherwise please sign one copy of this letter and return it to me in the enclosed envelope to signify your acceptance of the terms set forth. Sincerely, _____________________________

SAMPLE HOURLY LITIGATION/NON-LITIGATION CONTRACT COMMENTS

292

1. Conditions (Par. 1) and Effective Date (Par. 12) At the threshold, you must determine at what point the contract comes to life. Once it does, you are obligated to render services, even if you have not been paid. If you perform services before the written contract takes effect, you will be limited to a “reasonable” fee. This form and other samples embody one solution to these intertwined issues. It is not the only solution, nor will it always be the best solution. Par. 1 (Conditions) interacts closely with par. 12 (Effective Dates). Working together, the two clauses are designed to delay the lawyer’s obligation to perform services until the client signs the contract and pays the deposit; however, the clauses also are drafted to bring within the contract any services performed before signing and payment. We recognize that lawyers frequently will (or must) perform services before signing and payment. For that reason, we bring “premature” services under the contract’s protection; upon signing and payment the contract will take effect, but retroactively to the date the lawyer first performed services. If you expect to perform services before the contract is signed and the deposit paid, then document the facts in writing, signed by the client. (See Rule 1.5 of the Montana Rules of Professional Conduct, below.) 2. Scope and Duties (Par.2) Fill in a brief description of the subject of the representation. 3. Deposit (Par.3) This is an optional clause. Fill in the amount of any deposit and the date by which it must be paid. We have provided for the client’s authorization for the lawyer to withdraw funds from the trust account. If you prefer a more cautious approach to the authorization question, you can provide that sums will be withdrawn from the trust account only after they are invoiced to client and “x” hours for any court appearance or “y” dollars for the “standard” first set of interrogatories. If you do not disclose such practices, you probably are misleading the client when you state that you charge by the hour. 4. Legal Fees (Par. 4) Add any standard or minimum time or dollar charges for specific functions - for example “x” hours for any court appearance or “y” dollars for the “standard” first set of interrogatories. If you do not disclose such practices, you probably are misleading the client when you state that you charge by the hour. 5. Costs and Expenses (Par.5) This is not an inclusive list. You may include more or less. Additional items are included in the cost provisions of the long form agreements. You should disclose the rate or charges for any item not passed through strictly at cost. 6. Statements (Par.6) Lawyers’ statements need not describe the services rendered (although it is recommended), but must state the “basis” of the charges, including the amount, rate, and basis for calculation or other methods of determination of your fees. 7. Lien (Par. 8) This is an optional clause. An attorney’s lien for litigation matters is already created by Section 37-61-420, Montana Code Annotated. The interaction between federal income tax law and Montana’s attorney’s lien statute is in flux. Attorneys are advised to additional research on this issue. 8. Discharge and Withdrawal (Par. 9) This is declaratory of applicable rules. 9. Conclusion of Services (Par. 10)

Returning the file and other property is required under existing rules. 10. Disclaimer of Guarantee (Par. 11) This is an optional clause. SAMPLE HOURLY ATTORNEY-CLIENT FEE CONTRACT Please Note Comments Above

*TO ADAPT THIS FORM FOR NON-LITIGATION, THE FOLLOWING ADJUSTMENTS CAN BE MADE: 1. Add an exclusion for litigation in Scope and Duties (Par. 2): “Attorney’s services will not include litigation of any kind, whether in court, in administrative hearings or before government agencies or arbitration panels.” 2. Delete the litigation-related costs language that is in italics in Costs and Expenses (Par. 5) 3. Eliminate the lien, because it may sometimes be inappropriate in a non-litigation context.

SAMPLE LONG FORM HOURLY LITIGATION COMMENTS 1. Scope of Services (Par. 2) Scope of services excludes appeal from the judgment and execution proceedings. You may exclude more, less or nothing. We have created a safety net, providing that this agreement will cover any future services. Some lawyers take the opposite approach, however, stating that they engage to perform only the services described in the agreement. 2. Minimum Fee/Deposit (Par. 4) You need not require a minimum fee or a deposit of any kind. This paragraph sets forth one way to handle the deposit if you opt for one. We also have placed a ceiling on further deposits. Without a ceiling, the right to require further deposits is so open-ended that it could be unenforceable for uncertainty. In addition we have provided for advance payment of all fees and costs to be incurred in preparing for and conducting trial or arbitration. Because it is calculated based on objective facts, we have placed no ceiling on the pre-trial deposit. 3. Legal Fees and Billing Practices (Par. 5) In the second paragraph we have enumerated some of the billing practices that are frequently the subject of dispute. 4. Out of Town Travel (Par. 6(b)) Many firms do not charge for traveling time or charge at reduced rates. You may wish to address first class air travel. 5. Rate Schedule In Part D of the Rate Schedule, we have listed charges that are not usually passed through strictly at cost. All such charges should be enumerated. We also have disclosed clerical staff overtime rates, even though they obviously are strictly at cost.

SCOPE OF SERVICES. You are hiring us as your attorneys, to represent you in the matter described on the attached Rate Schedule. We will provide those legal services reasonably required to represent you. We will take reasonable steps to keep you informed of progress and to respond to your inquiries.

DEPOSIT. You agree to pay us an initial deposit of $____ by ____ . Our hourly charges will be credited against it. The remainder of the initial deposit, as well as any future deposit, will be held in a trust account. You authorize us to use that fund to pay the fees and other charges you incur. Attorney shall be entitled to transfer from such trust into his general account such sums as shall, from time to time, compensate Attorney for the fees, costs and expenses owing as of the date of transfer. Whenever your deposit is exhausted, we reserve the right to demand further deposits, each up to a maximum of $____ . Nonlitigation contracts would remove the following two sentences: Once a trial or arbitration date is set, we will require you to pay all sums then owing to us and to deposit the attorneys’ fees we estimate will be incurred in preparing for and completing the trial or arbitration, as well as the jury fees or arbitration fees likely to be assessed. Those sums may exceed the maximum deposit. You agree to pay all deposits after the initial deposit within ____ days of our demand. Any unused deposit at the conclusion of our services will be refunded. 5. LEGAL FEES AND BILLING PRACTICES. You agree to pay by the hour at our prevailing rates for time spent on your matter by our legal personnel. Our current hourly rates for legal personnel (and other billing rates) are set forth on the attached Rate Schedule. The Rate Schedule also provides for periodic increases. Time shall be calculated in minimum increments of .25 hour. We will charge you for the time we spend on telephone calls relating to your matter, including calls with you, opposing counsel or court personnel. The legal personnel assigned to your matter will confer among themselves about the matter, as required. When they do confer, each person will charge for the time expended. Likewise, if more than one of our legal personnel attends a meeting, court hearing or other proceeding, each will charge for the time spent. We will charge for waiting time in court and elsewhere and for travel time, both local and out of town. (Non-litigation contracts should remove the language referencing court hearings and waiting time in court.) 6. COSTS AND OTHER CHARGES. (a) In General. We will incur various costs and expenses in performing legal services under this Contract. You agree to pay for those costs and expenses in addition to the hourly fees. The costs and expenses commonly include process servers’ fees, fees fixed by law or assessed by courts and other agencies, court reporters’ fees, long distance telephone calls, messenger and other delivery fees, postage, parking and other local travel expenses, photocopying and other reproduction costs, clerical staff overtime, word processing charges, charges for computer time and other similar items. Except for the items listed on the Rate Schedule, all costs and expenses will be charged at our cost. (Non-litigation contracts should remove the language referencing fees assessed by courts and court reporters’ fees.)

(b) Out of Town Travel. You agree to pay transportation, meals, lodging and all other costs of any necessary out-of-town travel by our personnel. You will also be charged the hourly rates for the time legal personnel spend traveling. (c) Experts, Consultants and Investigators. To aid in the preparation or presentation of your case, it may become necessary to hire expert witness, consultants or investigators. We will not hire such persons unless you agree to pay their fees and charges. We will select any expert witnesses, consultants or investigators to be hired. (Non-litigation contracts may remove the language referencing experts and expert witnesses.) 7. BILLING STATEMENTS. We will send you periodic statements for fees and costs incurred. Each statement will be due within ____ days of its date. You may request a statement at intervals of no less than 30 days. If you do, we will provide one within 10 days. 8. INTEREST.

Our lien will be for any sums owing to us at the conclusion of our services. The lien will attach to any recovery you may obtain, whether by arbitration award, judgment, settlement or otherwise. The lien created by this provision is supplemental to the lien created by Section 37-61-420, Montana Code Annotated. [Note: The interaction between federal income tax law and Montana’s attorney’s lien statute is in flux. Attorneys are advised to additional research on this issue.] 10. DISCHARGE AND WITHDRAWAL. You may discharge us at any time. We may withdraw if, after reasonable investigation, it appears in the judgment of Attorney that Client does not have a reasonably meritorious claim. We may also withdraw with your consent or for good cause. Good cause includes your breach of the agreement, your refusal to cooperate with us or to follow our advice on a material matter or any fact or circumstance that would render our continuing representation unlawful or unethical. When our services conclude, all unpaid charges will immediately become due and payable. After our services conclude. We will deliver your file to you, along with any funds or property of yours in our possession. 11. DISCLAIMER OF GUARANTEE.

CONTINGENCY FEE FORM COMMENTS: The instructions for the previously discussed forms apply equally to this form, with the exceptions and additions noted below. 1. Deposit (Par. 3) Again, as in the case of the other forms, this provision is optional.

Therefore, the attorney may have more reason to request a deposit for costs. 2. Legal Fees (Par. 4) This provision, of course, varies considerably from the other forms. We have left the percentages blank. However, it seems to be a common practice in Montana to request a contingency fee of 25%, 33 1/3 %, 40%, and 5%, respectively, for the various stages listed in the form.

APPLICABLE RULE MONTANA RULE OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT 1.5: FEES (a) A lawyer shall not make an agreement for, charge or collect an unreasonable fee or an unreasonable amount for expenses. The factors to be considered in determining the reasonableness of a fee include the following: (1) the time and labor required, the novelty and difficulty of the questions involved and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly; (2) the likelihood, if apparent to the client, that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer; (3) the fee customarily charged in the locality for similar legal services; (4) the amount involved and the results obtained; (5) the time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances; (6) the nature and length of the professional relationship with the client; (7) the experience, reputation and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the services; and (8) whether the fee is fixed or contingent. (b) The scope of the representation and the basis or rate of the fee and expenses for which the client will be responsible shall be communicated to the client in writing, before or within a reasonable time after commencing the representation, except when the lawyer will charge a regularly represented client on the same basis or rate. Any changes in the basis or rate of the fee or expenses shall also be communicated in writing. This paragraph does not apply in any matter in which it is reasonably foreseeable that total cost to a client, including attorney fees, will be $500 or less. (c) A fee may be contingent on the outcome of the matter for which the service is rendered, except in a matter in which a contingent fee is prohibited by paragraph (d) or other law. A contingent fee agreement shall be in a writing signed by the client and shall state the method by which the fee is to be determined, including the percentage or percentages that shall accrue to the lawyer in the event of settlement, trial or appeal; litigation and other expenses to be deducted from the recovery; and whether such expenses are to be deducted before or after the contingent fee is calculated. The agreement must clearly notify the client of any expenses for which the client will be liable whether or not the client is the prevailing party. Upon conclusion of a contingent fee matter, the lawyer shall provide the client with a written statement stating the outcome of the matter and, if there is a recovery, showing the remittance to the client and the method of its determination. (d) A lawyer shall not enter into an arrangement for, charge or collect: (1) any fee in a domestic relations matter, the payment or amount of which is contingent upon the securing of a divorce or upon the amount of maintenance or support or property settlement in lieu thereof; or (2) a contingent fee for representing a defendant in a criminal case. (e) A division of a fee between lawyers who are not in the same firm may be made only if: (1) the division is in proportion to the services performed by each lawyer or each lawyer assumes joint responsibility for the representation; (2) the client agrees to the arrangement, including the share each lawyer will receive, and the agreement is confirmed in writing; and (3) the total fee is reasonable. For the opinion of the State Bar’s Ethics Committee on RETAINING LIENS and other opinions concerning fee agreements visit the State Bar’s Web site at www.montanabar.org. Ethics Opinion Number 000210’s Conclusion states: An attorney may retain a client’s property, papers or materials in the attorney’s possession to secure payment for the lawyer’s services and costs advanced if the property, papers or materials relate to the lawyer’s services and the client has agreed to imposition of such a lien in writing. In the event an attorney wants to assure the option of a retaining lien, it would be wise to include in the written fee agreement retention of the file as a possible repercussion for non-payment of the bill for legal services. While we recognize the availability of retaining liens, we caution lawyers to use them sparingly and only after review of the legal standards that are continually evolving concerning their application. This opinion is advisory only.
