Coronavirus restrictions have caused the State Bar of Georgia to postpone its spring Board of Governors meeting and, consequently, the vote of a key committee weighing prospects to require 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 was set to vote on four separate proposals Friday after a public discussion at Chateau Elan, where the Board of Governors was scheduled to meet over the weekend. The Board of Governors meeting will occur, in limited form, via videoconference next week.
