The Lawyers’ Fund for Client Protection is a fund administered by the Board of Governors to compensate individuals who have lost money, property or other things of value as the result of the dishonest conduct of a lawyer. The loss cannot be otherwise covered by any insurance or bond and it must meet the other specific requirements of Alaska Bar Rule 45 (Listed on the Alaska Court System website, under Alaska Bar Rules). Compensation is in the sole discretion of the Board after reviewing a report of investigation by members of the LFCP Committee.
