In July 2021, the State Bar Council adopted
a proposed change to the Preamble of the Rules of Professional Conduct
that would hinder the ability of many attorneys to practice law in
accordance with their faith.
The Supreme Court of North
Carolina has the ultimate say in whether or not to change the State Bar
Rules, and is now considering whether to adopt this change.
The
proposed change would add the words “sexual orientation” and “gender
identity” to the Preamble of the Rules of Professional Conduct, thus
creating a protected status for these controversial behaviors.
Unfortunately, this addition would function as a Sexual Orientation and
Gender Identity (SOGI) amendment. This means that the State Bar would
have the ability to force attorneys to accept policies that conflict
with their sincerely held religious and moral beliefs about marriage and
sexuality.
