Montana Supreme Court
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel (ODC) is part of a comprehensive lawyer regulation system established by the Montana Supreme Court. The system consists of ODC and the Commission on Practice (COP). ODC performs central intake functions and processes, investigates and prosecutes complaints against lawyers that are within the jurisdiction of the Court. COP hears and decides the complaints and, in appropriate cases, makes recommendations to the Court for discipline. COP and ODC are under the direct supervision of the Montana Supreme Court. There are nine lawyers and five non-lawyers on the COP. The Court appoints both the lawyer and the non-lawyer members of COP. ... [Read More]

The judicial district I serve consists of seven counties in southeastern Montana comprising an area roughly the size of West Virginia. Approximately 24,000 people live in this district, basically one person per square mile. Currently, just 27 lawyers in active practice reside in these seven counties. Four of the counties have only one resident attorney, that attorney being the county attorney. No Legal Services Corporation office is located in the district. These demographics mandate a different approach to access to justice issues than those used in more populated areas. For example, while lawyers in Montana have a duty to perform pro bono legal services, it is not practical for any lawyer to travel among the seven counties and effectively provide pro bono representation to an indigent client, especially since the majority of the lawyer’s time will be spent in his or her 4x4 truck (necessary for travel in Montana’s two seasons: winter and road construction). ...
