Rule 120 Malpractice Insurance

Georgia lawyers who supervise out-of-state attorneys must make sure those out-of-state attorneys have malpractice insurance. The insurance needs to be in place the entire time the out-of-state attorney is working under their supervision.

There is one exception to this requirement. If the supervising attorney works as a public prosecutor or holds a government position that provides legal protection from lawsuits, the insurance requirement does not apply.
