Pa. Lawyers Fund R.P. 3.3
Limitation of Actions
Subject to individual extenuating circumstances, the Board will
normally consider a claim to be timely filed if the claim is filed within two years of the
date upon which the claimant knew or should have known of the conversion of his/her
funds or property.
Comment: Rule of Procedure 3.3 is not a strict statute of limitations. A claimant may not
be aware of the opportunity to file a claim with the Fund; or a claimant may attempt to
resolve the matter by first pursuing other remedies, such as a civil suit; or a claimant may
wait until the conclusion of a criminal proceeding in which restitution has been ordered;
or the conduct of the covered attorney may have dissuaded the claimant from filing a
claim. The reason(s) a claimant has not filed a claim within two years of learning of the
loss, or within two years of when a claimant should have known of the loss, will be
relevant information that the Board will consider when reviewing a claim.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing.

Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
