On May 13, 2003, the Supreme Court of Missouri approved Guidelines for The Missouri Bar Complaint Resolution Program.

Effective July 1, 2003, the new guidelines replace the guidelines previously approved by the Court in its September 6, 1995 order.

The complete text of the order can be found in West’s Missouri Cases, 102 S.W.3d No. 3, 103 S.W.3d No. 1, (June 10, 2003), pp. Ct.R.-5 – Ct.R.-11.

The Supreme Court of Missouri, in an order dated May 20, 2003, corrected the new subdivision (a) of subdivision 11.09, entitled “Senior Judge Limitations,” of Rule 11, entitled “Temporary Transfer of Judicial Personnel.”

This order became effective July 1, 2003.

The complete text of the order can be found in West’s Missouri Cases, 102 S.W.3d No. 3, 103 S.W.3d No. 1, (June 10, 2003), pp. Ct.R.-3 – Ct.R.-4.

In an order dated June 3, 2003, the Supreme Court of Missouri repealed subdivision (a) and subdivision (d) of subdivision 14.09 (Continuing Education, Accreditation of Programs and Activities) of Rule 14, entitled “Certified Court Reporters,” and in lieu thereof adopted new subdivisions (a) and (d) of subdivision 14.09, entitled “Continuing Education, Accreditation of Programs and Activities.”

This order becomes effective January 1, 2004.

The complete text of the order can be found in West’s Missouri Cases, 104 S.W.3d No. 3, 105 S.W.3d No. 1, (July 1, 2003), pp. Ct.R.-1 – Ct.R.-2.
