Memphis lawyer and former TBA President Lucian Pera joins with six other veteran legal ethics professionals from across the country to call on the American Bar Association to launch a once-in-a-generation study and renewal of the nation's attorney discipline system. They say the mechanics, structure, reach and infrastructure of lawyer regulation need revamping for the 21st century. The group outlines its recommendations in this Bloomberg Law article. Pera is a partner at Adams and Reese. He served for five years on the ABA Ethics 2000 Commission, which rewrote the Model Rules of Professional Conduct. He also led the TBA committee that successfully proposed new legal ethics for the state based on the model rules.
