Discipline Notice:
Description: Bernice C. Delorme (WSBA No. 31148, admitted 2001), was ordered to receive a reprimand on April 20, 2010, by order of the Washington State Supreme Court imposing reciprocal discipline in accordance with an order of the Supreme Court of the State of North Dakota following approval of a stipulation. This discipline was based on conduct involving failure to consult with two clients to obtain their informed consent as to the limitation of the scope of representation. For more information, see North Dakota State Bar Association’s official publication, The Gavel (November 2009), available at www.sband.org/gavel.

Ms. Delorme’s conduct violated North Dakota’s RPC 1.2(c), allowing the lawyer to limit the scope of the representation if the client consents after consultation.

Joanne S. Abelson represented the Bar Association. Ms. Delorme represented herself.
