State Lawyers Assistance Committee Records & Annual Report(a) The SLAC chairperson will maintain an intake log as a permanent record of SLAC. In it will be noted each referral to SLAC, the date of the referral, the name of the person making the referral, the name of the referred lawyer, action taken on the referral and the ultimate disposition of the referral. Written materials regarding a referral which does not result in a case being opened, will be kept with the intake log. The designee to whom a case is assigned will create a file and will maintain all reports, correspondence, records and other documents pertaining to the case. The designee is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the file and the information it contains while the file is in the designee's possession. The file on a case will be closed when the referral is dismissed, on notice to Disciplinary Counsel of non-cooperation or as provided in Article 19(g) of the Bar's Bylaws. Closed files will be maintained for ten years in locked storage at the Bar's offices. SLAC will notify the referring person of the general disposition of the referral, but not of its detailed findings or the remedial measures taken.(b) SLAC shall submit an annual report to the Board. The report will include statistical data such as: the total number of referrals received by SLAC, the number of direct referrals, the number of referrals received from the State Professional Responsibility Board, the number of referrals to the Client Assistance Office as a result of non-cooperation with SLAC, the number and types of cases in which assistance was provided through SLAC, the number of cases completed during the reporting period and other information that will assist the Bar in evaluating the workload and effectiveness of the SLAC program. The report will not include any information that could jeopardize the confidentiality of persons participating in SLAC's programs. The report will be delivered to the Bar annually as an attachment to SLAC's annual report.Adopted effective 4/14/2023.
