How is the Client Protection Fund linked to the Maryland Judiciary?
The Client Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland, formerly known as the Client’s Security Trust Fund, was created by an order of the Court of Appeals on July 6, 1966. The main purpose of the Fund is to maintain the integrity and protect the good name of the legal profession by reimbursing, to the extent authorized by the rule and deemed proper and reasonable by the Trustees, losses caused by theft of money by members of the Bar of the State of Maryland when acting either as attorneys or fiduciaries.
