 Call at 800-348-4343 VISIT OLAP Proactive Management-Based Regulation (PMBR) On March 2, 2023, the Supreme Court of Ohio adopted PMBR—a free, online, on-demand, CLE accredited ethics education curriculum designed to assist solo and small firm attorneys in developing an ethical infrastructure to improve the delivery of legal services and client relations and enhance the provision of competent and cost-effective legal services to prevent violations of the Ohio Rules of Professional Conduct. With its adoption, Ohio becomes the second state in the nation to adopt a mandatory PMBR program. Effective January 1, 2025, any attorney engaged in the private practice of law, as defined in Gov.Bar R.VI(1)(B) , who does not maintain professional liability insurance, must complete the PMBR curriculum as part of the registration process. Attorneys who fail to complete the PMBR curriculum, or provide proof of purchase liability insurance, will not be permitted to register for the 2025-2027 registration biennium.
