Since then, the system has broadened to include other facets: published ethics opinions, an ethics hotline, ethics seminars, an attorney trust account overdraft notification program, professional enhancement instruction, a lawyer assistance program for those who are impaired, and a consumer assistance program.The Board of Professional Responsibility is comprised of nine lawyer members, and three non-lawyer members who offer an enhanced and balanced perspective of the professional responsibilities of the legal profession. The Board's staff consists of nine full-time Disciplinary Counsel and ten support staff members.
