Interim final rule. The Department of the Navy (DON) is amending its rules to update existing sections relating to the professional conduct of attorneys practicing under the cognizance and supervision of the Judge Advocate General (JAG) for clients with diminished capacity. The amendment comports with current policy reflected in JAG Instruction 5803.1 (Series), Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the Cognizance and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General. The new rule allows a covered attorney to take preventative action when the attorney reasonably believes that a client has diminished capacity and is at risk of substantial physical harm to himself or herself unless immediate action is taken. Not having this immediate change negatively impacts an attorney’s ability to preserve life when a client expresses the intent to harm himself or herself or an attorney receives information about a client’s suicidal intentions. The JAG has directed that this change take effect immediately as the former version of the rule potentially created a professional responsibility violation if an attorney acted to preserve life or risked the client’s life. DATES: This interim final rule is effective August 30, 2010. Written comments received at the address indicated below by October 29, 2010 will be considered and addressed in the final rule. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and/or Regulatory Information Number (RIN) and title, by any of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov.

Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the Cognizance 
and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Interim final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy (DON) is amending its rules to 
update existing sections relating to the professional conduct of 
attorneys practicing under the cognizance and supervision of the Judge 
Advocate General (JAG) for clients with diminished capacity. The 
amendment comports with current policy reflected in JAG Instruction 
5803.1 (Series), Professional Conduct of Attorneys Practicing Under the 
Cognizance and Supervision of the Judge Advocate General.
    The new rule allows a covered attorney to take preventative action 
when the attorney reasonably believes that a client has diminished 
capacity and is at risk of substantial physical harm to himself or 
herself unless immediate action is taken. Not having this immediate 
change negatively impacts an attorney's ability to preserve life when a 
client expresses the intent to harm himself or herself or an attorney 
receives information about a client's suicidal intentions. The JAG has 
directed that this change take effect immediately as the former version 
of the rule potentially created a professional responsibility violation 
if an attorney acted to preserve life or risked the client's life.

DATES: This interim final rule is effective August 30, 2010. Written 
comments received at the address indicated below by October 29, 2010 
will be considered and addressed in the final rule.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, identified by docket number and/or 
Regulatory Information Number (RIN) and title, by any of the following 
methods:

instructions for submitting comments.

Law), Department of the Navy, 1322 Patterson Ave., SE., Suite 3000,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Navy is amending 32 
CFR part 776, to comport with current policy as stated in JAG 
Instruction 5803.1 (Series) governing the professional conduct of

Advocate General for clients with diminished capacity. This rule 
updates the existing section to reflect the current policy of the Judge 
Advocate General to permit a covered attorney to take protective action 
and disclose a client's condition when he or she reasonably believes 
that the client has diminished capacity and is at risk of substantial 
physical self-harm if action is not taken. Thus, aligning the policy 
with ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct (2010), Rule 1.14 (Client 
with Diminished Capacity). Interested persons are invited to comment in 
writing on this amendment. All written comments received will be 
considered in finalizing the amendment to 32 CFR part 776. It has been

Order 13258, and does not have substantial impact on the public.
