DRM provides liability coverage to "any attorney for any claim arising out of the provision of pro bono legal services for custody and visitation to an eligible indigent person under a program approved by the Supreme Court of Virginia or the Virginia State Bar" ( § 2.2-1839, as amended). Participation in this plan is voluntary and must be approved by the office of the Executive Secretary of the Virginia Supreme Court.
In accordance with § 2.2-1839, DRM provides liability coverage to state court-appointed attorneys. In the event of a claim under this coverage, the attorney will be required to furnish DRM with a copy of his or her court-ordered appointment.
