Rule 6 Confidentiality
Rule Text
(a) Claims, proceedings, and reports involving claims for reimbursement are confidential until the Trustees authorize reimbursement to the claimant, except as provided in subsection (b) of this rule, unless provided otherwise by law. After payment of a reimbursement, the Trustees may publicize the nature of the claim, the amount of the reimbursement, and the name of the lawyer. The name and the address of the claimant shall not be publicized by the Trustees unless the claimant has explicitly granted permission.
(b) This rule shall not be construed to prohibit (1) access to relevant information by professional disciplinary agencies or such other law enforcement authorities as the Trustees shall authorize, (2) the release of statistical information that does not disclose the identity of the lawyers or the parties, or (3) the use of such information as is necessary to pursue the Lawyers’ Fund’s subrogation rights under Rule 3.
