Collaborative Law Rules Take Effect in Maryland

Beginning July 1, 2015, the state of Maryland will have rules governing the practice of collaborative law.  These rules are meant to complement and enhance the Maryland Collaborative Law Act. In Maryland, only the Judiciary can create rules governing lawyers.  Because of that restriction, new rules governing collaborative practice were necessary to encompass not only what all the other professionals do in the process, but the attorneys and judges as well.  

Collaborative law is a form of limited scope representation.  Limited scope representation means that the attorney and the client may agree to limit the services provided to the client.  In the case of collaborative law, the limitation is on the ability of the attorney to represent the client in a litigation setting.  In other settings, the client and the attorney may agree that the attorney only help draft pleadings, or only appear at certain hearings for the client.  Effective July 1, 2015, rules regarding limited scope representation, in general, also take effect.
