Supreme Court Approves Use of "B.C.S" for Certified Lawyers
Among numerous Florida Bar rule changes addressed in a Florida Supreme Court Nov. 19 opinion is a new rule that allows board certified lawyers to use the letters "B.C.S." for board certified specialist. The rule, which is effective Feb. 1, 2010, states: "A member having received a certificate in an area may list the area on the member's letterhead, business cards, and office door, in the yellow pages of the telephone directory, in approved law lists, and by such other means permitted by the Rules of Professional Conduct. The listing may be made by stating one or more of the following: 'Board Certified (area of certification) Lawyer;' or 'Specialist in (area of certification);' or use of initials B.C.S. to indicate Board Certified Specialist. If the initials B.C.S. are used, the area(s) in which the member is board certified must be identified; if used in court documents or a non-advertising context, the initials may stand alone."
