Ala. St. Bar Client Sec. Fund R. 10
Subrogation
A. If reimbursement is made, the Fund shall be subrogated in the amount of
the reimbursement and the Committee may bring such action as is deemed advisable
against the lawyer or the lawyer's estate. Such action may be brought either in the name
of the applicant or in the name of the Committee. Prior to payment of the claim the
applicant shall be required to execute a subrogation agreement. Upon commencement
of an action by the Committee, pursuant to its subrogation rights, it shall advise the
applicant, who may then join in such action to recover losses in excess of the amount of
the reimbursement from the Fund.
B. Should the applicant bring an action for recovery of unreimbursed losses
directly against the lawyer, or the lawyer's estate, the applicant shall notify the Committee
of such action.
C. The applicant is expected to cooperate in any effort the Committee
undertakes to achieve reimbursement for the Fund.
