The State Bar of Georgia this month could take a step toward requiring lawyers to obtain legal malpractice insurance or disclose to the bar or the public whether they carry such coverage.

The bar’s Professional Liability Insurance Committee is set to vote on four separate proposals March 27 after a public discussion, the fourth the panel has held since October. The 19-member committee will recommend the Board of Governors consider any of the four proposals that receives a majority vote at the meeting at Chateau Elan in Braselton.
