We have been told that the Overseers of the Bar would provide an
effective means of Guardian ad litem oversight and management. We have
also been told that the means of filing a complaint through the
Overseers is something that the average person would be able to
understand and do on their own. While it is true that anyone can file a
complaint - and that a lawyer is not needed - as many are being told.
The problem is understanding the Rules and Rules for professional
Conduct.
Because the public are being told how easy it is to understand what they
will have to deal with we are publishing both the Rules and Rules of
Professional Conduct so that you can get a preview of what is to come
for Guardians ad litem. Before diving in and reading here are some
statistics:
The rules consist of 62 pages and 40205 words. The Rules of Professional
Conduct comes in at a lite 138pages and 87700 words (the current flawed
Rules and Standards for Guardians ad litem come in at a hefty 18 pages
and 8008 words). Both of these documents are allegedly easier to
understand and as Rep Jarrod Crockett
would have us believe - make for an easier process for management,
oversight and more importantly filing a complaint. It is nice to know
that Rep Crockett is so concerned about making things easier for his
constituents and citizens of Maine as to support a process that only a
lawyer could love.
