Attention:  John J. Shiptenko

To ensure that the Board considers the comments on the proposed opinion, State Bar members must file comments with the Board by Nov. 25, 2024. Any comment on the proposed opinion must make reference to the proposed opinion number (Proposed FAO No. 24-1). Comments submitted to the Board pursuant to Bar Rule 4-403 (c) are for the Board’s internal use in assessing the proposed opinion and are only released to the Supreme Court of Georgia and in compliance with Bar Rule 4-403 (d).
