| A Virginia lawyer who practices in a District of Columbia office may maintain a trust account in a Virginia bank, and may arrange for a non-lawyer to handle the account as long as the lawyer supervises the non-lawyer and is ultimately responsible for the account. [Rule 1.15 required that a law firm office use a trust account bank in the same jurisdiction; Rule 8.5 determines which state's disciplinary rule would apply to violations.] |
