In re: Amendments to the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar – Advertising Rules
Case Number(s):
SC05-2194

Transcript:

Summary:

The Florida Bar has proposed revisions to the rules governing attorney advertising; the revisions are based on recommendations suggested by a special Bar task force. Under one proposed change, lawyers would have to get prior approval of most television and radio advertisements. Under existing rules, attorneys file TV and radio ads with the Bar concurrently with their broadcast and the Bar has a 15-day window to determine if they comply with regulations. The Bar proposes keeping Web sites subject to most of the general regulations governing attorney advertising.
