Client Security Fund Committee
The Missouri Bar
Board of Governors is seeking applications from members of The Missouri Bar for
appointment to the Client Security Fund Committee, for a five-year term beginning on
Jan. 1, 2024, and ending on Dec. 31, 2028.
The six-member Client Security Fund Committee considers
claims of clients who may have been financially harmed by the fraudulent or
dishonest actions of their lawyers. The fund
does not reimburse fee dispute matters or cases of malpractice. The committee makes recommendations to the
Board of Governors regarding the reimbursement of claims in full or in part or
the denial of claims. Members of this committee serve five-year terms, with
service on the committee limited to two terms. Typically, the committee meets remotely several times throughout the
year, with an in-person meeting each October in Jefferson City. For additional information about the fund and
its operation, go to MissouriLawyersHelp.org/ethics/client-security-fund/.
To apply, please complete the online application form and provide a statement of interest and complete biographical information (CV or resume)
by no later than 5 p.m. on Monday, May 1, 2023. Please direct any questions concerning the appointments process or specific appointments to
appointments@mobar.org.
The Missouri Bar is committed to diversity in its appointments.
