Are there limits on how a Leadership Bank may market their Leadership Bank designation?
Any marketing of or other communication or publication regarding your institution’s participation in the State Bar’s Leadership Bank program must be limited to the fact that your institution has been recognized by the State Bar for paying higher rates on IOLTA accounts, resulting in increased funding of free legal services for those in need. Leadership Banks may not state or imply that the State Bar has endorsed them generally or made any other endorsements or representations about their products or services. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in, withdrawal of the Leadership Bank designation, and withdrawal of all State Bar approval, endorsement, and connection, including the ability to offer IOLTA products.
