As amended through November 7, 2024
Rule LLLT RPC 2.4 - LLLT SERVING AS THIRD-PARTY NEUTRAL(a) An LLLT serves as a third-party neutral when the LLLT assists two or more persons who are not clients of the LLLT to reach a resolution of a dispute or other matter that has arisen between them. Service as a third-party neutral may include service as an arbitrator, a mediator, or in such other capacity as will enable the LLLT to assist the parties to resolve the matter.(b) An LLLT serving as a third-party neutral shall inform unrepresented parties that the LLLT is not representing them. When the LLLT knows or reasonably should know that a party does not understand the LLLT's role in the matter, the LLLT shall explain the difference between the LLLT's role as a third-party neutral and an LLLT's role as one who represents a client.Wash.
