Practice question
A Registered Organization validly aggregates four Covered Lawyers for a compliance period. Their verified service totals 240 hours, but one lawyer personally served only 10 hours while the others supplied the balance. No financial contribution or other adjustment is involved. Is the aggregate total alone sufficient?
- Yes, because only the group total matters
- Yes, because ten personal hours is the minimum
- No, because the group must provide 400 hours
- No, because every lawyer must personally provide 60 hours
- No, because the lawyer with ten hours has not met the fifteen-hour personal minimum
