The incumbent is eligible to apply. The term will commence upon appointment and expire December 31, 2011. The board generally meets 10 times per year. Women and minorities are urged to apply.

WSBA Chief Hearing Officer The WSBA Board of Governors invites applications from members interested in serving as chief hearing officer (CHO) pursuant to Rule 2.5(f) of the Rules for Enforcement of Lawyer Conduct. The CHO, with support from the Office of General Counsel, is responsible for assigning hearing officers to cases, monitoring and evaluating the performance of hearing officers, establishing and supervising hearing officer training, hearing pre-hearing motions when no hearing officer has been assigned, and performing other administrative duties necessary for an efficient and effective hearing system. Applicants should be familiar with the disciplinary system and have excellent legal reasoning skills, management aptitude, appellate practice experience, judicial bearing, an impartial demeanor, and a commitment to public service. Candidates with experience as a WSBA hearing officer will be given the strongest consideration. The position is on a one-year independent contractor basis, with compensation to be determined. Interested members should submit a letter of interest, signed Authorization to Release Confidential/Non-Public Information Form (available at www.wsba.org/info/forms.htm), references, and résumé to: Office of General Counsel, WSBA, 1325 4th Ave., Ste. 600, Seattle, WA 98101-2539 not later than January 15, 2009. Letters of Application Invited for the At-Large Young Lawyer Position on the WSBA Board of Governors Letters of application are invited for the At-Large Young Lawyer position on the WSBA Board of Governors. This at-large seat is a designated young lawyer seat. To be eligible for the position, a candidate must be a member of the Washington Young Lawyers Division (WYLD) through the election in May 2009. The elected governor will serve a three-year term, commencing on October 1, 2009. For full application and election details, please see www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/wyld. 2009 Notice of Board of Governors Election Four positions on the WSBA Board of Governors will be up for election this year. These are the governors representing the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 7th-West* Congressional Districts. These positions are currently held by Russell M. Aoki (1st District), Edward F. Shea Jr. (4h District), Peter J. Karademos (5th District), and Anthony L. Butler (7th-West District). The WSBA Bylaws provide that any member in good standing, except a member previously elected to the Board of Governors, may be nominated for the office of governor from the congressional district (or geographical region within the 7th District*) in which such member is entitled to vote. Nominations are made by filing a statement of interest and a biographical statement of 100 words or less. Generally, members are entitled to vote in the congressional district in which the member resides. All out-of-state active WSBA members are eligible to vote in the district of the address of their agent within Washington for the purpose of receiving service of process as required by APR 5(e), or, if specifically designated to the executive director, within the district of their primary Washington practice. However, the member must reside in the congressional district to be eligible for election. Nomination forms are available from the Office of the Executive Director, 1325 Fourth Avenue, Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98101-2539; 206-727-8244 and on the WSBA website at www.wsba.org/info/bog/default.htm. The WSBA executive director must receive nomination forms by 5:00 p.m. PST on March 2, 2009. (Please note: the January edition of Bar News incorrectly stated 5:00 p.m. on March 3, 2008, as the deadline.) The Board of Governors determines the official dates of the election. Paper ballots will be mailed on or about April 15 and must be returned by 5:00 p.m. PDT on May 15. This year, the WSBA will also use an electronic voting system. The WSBA will notify members about the system. All electronic voting will begin on or about April 15 and must be completed by 5:00 p.m. PDT on May 15. Note: The biographical statements of nominated candidates will be published in the May issue of Bar News. *The 7th Congressional District is divided into three sub-districts, East, Central, and West. These sub-districts are distinguished by zip codes, and each has one elected governor. For the coming year, the west sub-district (zip codes are 98013, 98070, 98106, 98107, 98116, 98117, 98119, 98126, 98133, 98136, 98146, 98160, 98166, 98177, 98195, 98199) will elect a new governor. Submit Your Comments to the ELC Task Force You receive a WSBA envelope and it's stamped "Confidential." Any attorney who has received such an envelope knows that it may well contain a grievance filed with the WSBA. This triggers, at a minimum, review of the matter by the WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel. While most grievances are ultimately dismissed, there are mandatory procedures and rules that dictate the way in which grievances may be reviewed, investigated, and/or litigated. These are called the Rules for Enforcement of Lawyer Conduct (ELC, for short). If you go through your entire professional career without participating in the discipline system, congratulations. But if you do become involved, the requirements of the ELC may have a direct and substantive impact on the process by which the grievance is resolved. The WSBA Board of Governors has authorized and chartered an ELC Task Force to conduct a complete and systematic review of the ELC. That process is just beginning, and if you have any suggested changes or can identify problems that you perceive with the current ELC, we would like to hear from you posthaste (by February 1, if at all possible). We are structuring the task ahead of us, and the preliminary step is to identify the rules that need attention, amendment, correction, etc. By way of background, the present ELC structure has been in effect for approximately six years. In 2006, by invitation, the ABA Standing Committee on Professional Discipline conducted a complete review of the disciplinary process in our state. Following issuance of the ABA report, the Board of Governors Discipline Committee, under the leadership of former Governor Doug Lawrence, performed an extensive review of the ABA recommendations and our current system. The proposals of that committee are in the process of being considered by the Board of Governors. The ELC Task Force includes representatives from the WSBA Office of Disciplinary Counsel, outside attorneys experienced in representing lawyers in disciplinary proceedings, the WSBA Hearing Officer Panel, the Washington State Supreme Court, the Disciplinary Board, and others. While many Task Force members have developed lists of particular ELC provisions that need attention, we would welcome the input from any WSBA member in this regard. This process will be open to the public, and we anticipate some non-lawyer groups may chime in as well. Comments, suggestions, or other input are welcome. Please e-mail them to either WSBA Governor Geoff Gibbs (Task Force chair) at ggibbs@andersonhunterlaw.com or WSBA Disciplinary Counsel Scott Busby at scottb@wsba.org. Seeking Questionnaires from Candidates for Judicial Appointments The WSBA Judicial Recommendation Committee (JRC) is accepting questionnaires from attorneys and judges seeking consideration for appointment to fill potential Washington State Supreme Court and Court of Appeals vacancies. Interested individuals will be interviewed by the Committee on the dates listed above. The JRC's recommendations are reviewed by the WSBA Board of Governors and referred to the Governor for consideration when making judicial appointments. Materials must be received at the WSBA office by the deadline listed above. To obtain a questionnaire, visit the WSBA website at www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/judicialrecommendation Notice of Hearing on Petition for Reinstatement of D. Willas Miller, WSBA No. 25454 A hearing on Mr. Miller's petition will be conducted before the Character and Fitness Board on April 6, 2009. Not later than March 23, 2009, anyone wishing to do so may file with the Character and Fitness Board a written statement for or against reinstatement, setting forth factual matters showing that the petitioner does or does not meet the requirements of Admission to Practice Rule 25.5(a). Except by its leave, no person other than the petitioner or petitioner's counsel shall be heard orally by the Character and Fitness Board. Communications to the Character and Fitness Board should be sent to Robert D. Welden, General Counsel, Washington State Bar Association, 1325 Fourth Ave., Ste. 600, Seattle, WA 98101-2539, or to bobw@wsba.org. This notice is published pursuant to APR 25.4(a). 2009 Licensing Information and Changes Licensing Forms Changes. In an effort to control costs and simplify renewal, the 2009 licensing forms have been condensed into one double-sided form or two forms for those reporting MCLE credits this year. One change to note: The form(s) were mailed the first week of December in a standard-size envelope. Instructions are available online at www.wsba.org/licensing. February 2, 2009, Deadline. Payment may be made online; however, even if payment is made online, all active members must return the A1 licensing form, completed on both sides and signed on the back side. Verify Your Address in the Online Lawyer Directory (http://pro.wsba.org). You are required to keep your contact information current; see Admission to Practice Rule 13. If you have not received the 2009 licensing forms, you may print them online or call the WSBA Service Center at 800-945-WSBA (9722) or 206-443-WSBA (9722). WSBA Bylaw Section II.E.1.b. on Armed Forces Fee Exemption provides for a fee exemption for eligible members of the Armed Forces whose WSBA membership status is active. The WSBA will accept fee exemption requests from December 1, 2008, until March 2, 2009, for the 2009 licensing year. MCLE Certification for Group 2 (2006–2008) If you are an active WSBA member in MCLE Reporting Group 2 (2006–2008), you should have received your Continuing Legal Education Certification (C2/C3) forms in the license packet that was mailed in early December. The deadline for returning the C2/C3 form to the WSBA is February 2, 2009. Any C2/C3 forms delivered to the WSBA or postmarked after March 2, 2009, will be assessed a late fee. Members in Group 2 include active members who were admitted to the WSBA in 1976–1983, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, or 2004. Members admitted in 2007 are also in Group 2 but are not due to report until the end of 2011. Their first reporting period will be 2009–2011; however, any credits earned on or after the day of admittance to the WSBA may be counted for compliance. The Continuing Legal Education Certification (C2/C3) form that you received in your license packet is a declaration that lists all the MCLE Board-approved courses that were in your MCLE online profile for the 2006–2008 reporting period as of mid-October 2008. If you took other courses after mid-October, you can add these to the back of the C2/C3 form when you receive it. As an alternative, you may print out your online roster and attach it to the C2/C3 form; indicate that it is a correct listing of the courses you took for compliance. The C2/C3 form, not your online profile, is the official record of MCLE compliance. The original copy of the C2/C3 form must be returned to the WSBA to meet compliance requirements. All courses that you list on your C2/C3 form must be Washington MCLE-Board approved and have an Activity ID number. This number is listed in your online MCLE profile and is assigned at the time that the Form 1 for each course is input to the MCLE system. A "Certificate of Attendance" or other sponsor-provided certification is not sufficient to receive course credit. If you have taken courses that have not yet been approved by the MCLE Board, submit Form 1s for these courses immediately to ensure that they are approved before your C2/C3 is due. Each Form 1 application must include a full agenda for the course in order to receive credit. The agenda must have the start and end times for each session and each break. Because of high volumes from October through February, Form 1s submitted electronically (at http://pro.wsba.org) could take up to four weeks or more to process. Paper Form 1s may take up to six weeks or more to process. If you submit a paper Form 1, you will be notified by mail of its Activity ID number. If you were not able to meet the credit requirement by December 31, 2008, and need more time to complete your credits, you must submit a petition to the MCLE Board to request more time. There is no longer an automatic extension until May 1. You must give a complete explanation on the petition of the reason that you need an extension. A late fee will be assessed if you took any courses after December 31 that are needed for compliance or if your C2/C3 form is submitted late. If this is the first reporting period in which you will not meet MCLE compliance requirements, the late fee will be $150. The late fee increases by $300 for each consecutive reporting period you are late in meeting MCLE requirements. If you have questions about the Form 1 process or MCLE compliance, please contact the WSBA Service Center at 800-945-WSBA (9722) or 206-443-WSBA (9722), or e-mail questions@wsba.org. MCLE Certification Information for Active Members Due Date for MCLE Reporting. WSBA members are divided into three MCLE reporting groups based on year of admission. (Newly admitted members are exempt. See "Newly Admitted Members" below.) Group 1: Admitted through 1975, 1991, 1994, 1997, 2000, 2003, or 2006. Group Report Complete Credits File C2/C3 Form New MCLE Rules and Regulations. New MCLE rule and regulation amendments went into effect on January 1, 2009. The amendments changed some of the MCLE compliance requirements for the 2007–2009 and later reporting periods. Some of the amendments affect all reporting periods, including (1) there is no longer an automatic extension until May 1, and (2) a member may earn no more than eight credits per day spent attending courses. See www.wsba.org/lawyers/groups/mcle/apr11review07.htm for more information. Credit Requirements for 2007–2009 and Later Reporting Periods. The following credit requirements must be met by December 31 of the last year of an active member's reporting period: • At least 45 total credits of MCLE Board-approved CLE activities must be taken, which need to include a minimum of 22.5 live credits and six ethics credits. The courses must meet the requirements of APR 11, but they do not need to be taken in Washington state. Many courses are offered around the world which meet the requirements of APR 11. Carry-over CLE Credits. Carry-over credits from the previous reporting period may be used to meet the requirements of the current reporting period. If your current reporting period credits total exceeds 45, you may carry over a maximum combined total of 15 credits to your next reporting period. Only two ethics credits and five A/V credits may be carried over. C2/C3 Reporting Requirement. All active members due to report are required to file a Continuing Legal Education Certification (C2/C3) form listing all CLE courses taken for credit compliance. The deadline for filing your C2/C3 form is February 1 (or the next business day, if February 1 is on a weekend) of the year following the end of your reporting period. Note: • Your online roster is not a substitute for filing the C2/C3 form (APR 11.6(b)). MCLE Late Fees. All active members who have not completed their credits by December 31 of the last year of their reporting period, or who submit their C2/C3 reporting forms after March 1 of the following year (the end of the grace period after the February 1 deadline), must pay a late fee. The late fee for the first reporting period of non-compliance is $150 and increases by $300 for each consecutive three-year reporting period of noncompliance. Newly Admitted Members. If you are a newly admitted member, you are exempt from reporting CLE credits for the year of your admission and the following calendar year. If you were admitted in 2007, you will not report for this reporting period (2006–2008) even though you are in Group 2. You will first report at the end of the 2009–2011 reporting period. Members admitted in 2008 will not report until the end of the 2010–2012 reporting period. When you report at the end of your first reporting period, you may claim all CLE credits earned on or after your date of admission to the WSBA. MCLE Comity. If you are an active member of the WSBA and your primary office for the practice of law is outside of Washington and if you are a member of the Oregon, Idaho, or Utah state bars ("comity" states), you may meet your Washington mandatory CLE requirements by providing proof of current MCLE compliance from your comity state bar. Only a Certificate of MCLE Compliance from your comity state bar (not a "Certificate of Good Standing"), sent with your WSBA C2/C3 form, will satisfy your MCLE requirements in Washington. MCLE System — Course Listing and Member Profiles. Members may use the online MCLE system to: • Review courses taken and credits earned. To access the MCLE online system and your member home page, go to the WSBA website home page at www.wsba.org. Click on the blue and black "Online MCLE System" box in the right column. Follow the instructions on the screen to reach your MCLE home page. If this is your first time logging on to the MCLE system, be sure to change your password after you log in to maximize security of your online MCLE information. Online help is available. If you have any questions about using the MCLE system or about the MCLE compliance requirements, see the online FAQs at www.wsba.org/lawyers/licensing/faq-mcle.htm, or contact the WSBA Service Center at 800-945-WSBA (9722), 206-443-WSBA (9722), or questions@wsba.org. In-House CLEs for 2007–2009 and Later Reporting Periods. Starting with the 2007–2009 reporting period, there will be no restriction on the number of in-house credits that a member may take. However, a lawyer who is associated with or employed by a private law firm or corporate legal department that maintains an office within Washington state may not apply to receive credit for a continuing legal education course sponsored by that private law firm or corporate legal department for which the sponsor did not submit a completed Form 1 (APR 11 Regulation 104(b)(2)). "Foundations of American Democracy" Civics Pamphlet Available The WSBA now offers a pamphlet for the public called "Foundations of American Democracy" that describes the basics of American government: the rule of law, the separation of powers, checks and balances, and a fair and impartial judiciary. It also includes a short quiz and a list of useful websites. Lawyers and judges are encouraged to bring the pamphlet with them when they speak to students or the public in schools, courtrooms, and the community. Teachers may also request the pamphlet for classroom use. The WSBA can provide reasonable numbers of copies at no charge, or the pamphlet may be downloaded from the WSBA website at www.wsba.org/foad.htm. Requests for copies should be directed to Pam Inglesby, WSBA public legal education manager, at pami@wsba.org. Thinking of Changing Your WSBA Membership Status? Consider Emeritus. As the 2009 WSBA licensing period approaches, you may be thinking of changing your membership status to accommodate your current career or lifestyle. If you no longer need your active WSBA license, here's why you should consider emeritus status. APR 8(e) creates a limited license status of emeritus for attorneys otherwise retired from the practice of law, to practice pro bono legal services through a qualified legal services provider. A qualified legal services provider is a "not-for-profit legal services organization whose primary purpose is to provide legal services to low-income clients." There are no MCLE requirements (although you may attend optional CLE seminars at no cost so that you are aware of changes in the law). The 2009 license fee for emeritus is $120. This is a significant savings in time and money if you are paying for an active license that you no longer need. Under most circumstances, emeritus attorneys can remain in emeritus status indefinitely without having to retake the bar exam if/when returning to active status. Most qualified legal services providers provide malpractice insurance for emeritus volunteers. There is no age requirement for emeritus attorneys. Volunteering for a "qualified legal services organization" allows you to control your own schedule. Most importantly, the emeritus program provides an opportunity for attorneys to give something back to their communities by helping those who are less fortunate. One or more qualified legal service organizations are present in most Washington state counties. They include Columbia Legal Services, a statewide legal services program; Northwest Justice Project, a central statewide point of access for clients; specialized legal services programs (such as Northwest Women's Law Center, Unemployment Law Project, and Northwest Immigrant Rights Project); and county volunteer attorney programs. These organizations offer a wide variety of volunteer opportunities such as direct representation, mentoring, advice clinics, self-help clinics, board membership, telephone advice, and document preparation. Emeritus also allows for pro bono services for criminal cases through some public defender agencies. Many of these organizations offer training for their volunteers. We will do our best to find a niche to fit your legal expertise, interests, and schedule. An emeritus training and orientation session is scheduled for January 29 at the WSBA office in Seattle. This training is a requirement for changing to emeritus status and will provide an opportunity for you to meet representatives from qualified legal services providers. Travel expenses will be reimbursed. For more information about the emeritus program, registration for the training session, and the logistics of changing your WSBA status to emeritus, please contact Sharlene Steele, WSBA access to justice liaison, at 206-727-8262, 800-945-9722, ext. 8262, or sharlene@wsba.org. You can review APR 8(e) at www.wsba.org/lawyers/licensing/faq-rule8e.htm. Notice of Northwest Justice Project Public Meetings Year 2009 quarterly meetings of the Board of Directors of the Northwest Justice Project, a 501c(3) not-for-profit organization which provides civil legal services to eligible low-income clients, will be held on the following dates: January 24, April 18, July 18, and October 17. The Northwest Justice Project receives primary funding from the state and through the federal Legal Services Corporation and maintains 13-plus offices throughout Washington state. These public meetings generally commence at 9:30 a.m. While they are usually held in Seattle for cost economy reasons, and to accommodate board member travel, specific meeting sites may vary from meeting to meeting based on space availability or other program purposes. All meetings are open, except that limited portions may be closed, pursuant to a vote of a majority of the Board of Directors, to hold an executive session. In such sessions, the Board reviews, considers and, in some cases, votes upon matters related to: 1) litigation to which the program is or may become a party; or 2) internal personnel, operational, investigative, and sensitive labor relations matters. Any such closed sessions will be as authorized by pertinent laws and regulations and will be duly noted, in summary form, in open session and corresponding minutes. Closed sessions will also be formally certified by the program's executive director or general counsel as authorized. A copy of the certification will be maintained for public inspection at the program's main office located at 401 Second Ave. S., Ste. 407, Seattle, WA 98104, and will be otherwise available upon request. For specific meeting site information or the need for any reasonable accommodations for disabilities or non-English language assistance, please call Lisa Giuffré, 206-464-1519 or 888-201-1012.

LAP Solution of the Month: The "Blues" or Depression? Many lawyers are depressed but don't realize it. Symptoms include sad mood, loss of pleasure or interest in activities, weight gain or loss, sleep problems, feeling restless or slowed-down, fatigue, trouble thinking or concentrating, and thoughts of death. Untreated, it can cause serious work dysfunction and more. Talk to your doctor or call the Lawyers Assistance Program at 206-733-5914, or 800-945-9722, ext. 5914. Job Seekers Discussion Group Looking for a job or making a transition? Join us at the Job Seekers Discussion Group the second Wednesday of each month from noon to 1:30 p.m. The next meeting is January 14 at the WSBA office. The group discusses where to look for jobs, how to grow your network of contacts, strategies for résumés and cover letters, and how to keep yourself organized and motivated. Exchange information and ideas with other lawyers looking to make a change. Come as you are — no need to RSVP. Bring your business cards and practice networking skills.

Problem Getting a Client to Pay? Dispute with another lawyer or an expert witness? The WSBA offers two programs to aid in the resolution of disputes involving lawyers. These programs serve both members and the public. The Fee Arbitration Program focuses on fee disputes between a lawyer and his or her client. To participate, both parties must agree to be bound by the arbitrator's decision. The Mediation Program provides a venue for parties to work together to resolve any dispute involving a lawyer, including those between a lawyer and a client, a lawyer and another lawyer, or a lawyer and another professional. Either party to a dispute may initiate fee arbitration or mediation. Both programs are non-disciplinary, voluntary, and confidential. For more information, visit the WSBA website at www.wsba.org/lawyers/services/adr.htm or call the ADR coordinator at 206-733-5923 or 800-945-9722, ext. 5923. Facing an Ethical Dilemma? The WSBA Ethics Line can help members analyze a situation involving their own prospective conduct, apply the proper rules, and reach an ethically sound decision. Calls made to the Ethics Line are confidential, and most calls are returned within one business day. Any advice given is intended for the education of the inquirer and does not represent an official position of the WSBA. Call the Ethics Line at 206-727-8284 or 800-945-9722, ext. 8284. Learn More About Case-Management Software The WSBA Law Office Management Assistance Program (LOMAP) maintains a computer for members to review software tools designed to maximize office efficiency. The LOMAP staff is available to provide materials, answer questions, and make recommendations. To make an appointment, contact Julie Salmon at 206-733-5914, 800-945-9722, ext. 5914, or juliesa@wsba.org.
