The Board of Trustees of the North Carolina State Bar Plan for Interest on Lawyers' Trust Accounts is pleased to report that total receipts have surpassed $2,000,000 since the program first received funds in April, 1984. The IOLTA program earned in excess of $1,000,000 during 1986, due to increased participation by attorneys and financial institutions in the program. The Board of Trustees and staff continue to seek ways to persuade attorneys who are not participating in IOLTA to sign up for this program that benefits the public and enhances the reputation of our profession. As we all know, the image of lawyers had been tarnished by the misdeeds of a few. IOLTA provides a simple way for attorneys to help improve our image. Research for an annotation to the Rules of Professional Conduct, the provision of legal assistance to the poor, assistance with local volunteer lawyer programs and funds for alternatives to litigation to help further the administration of justice are made possible by the participation of attorneys in the IOLTA program. Approximately 90% of all IOLTA funds is spent on grants. Participation in the IOLTA program is easily accom- plished by completing a sign up form for the financial institution and one for the Board of Trustees of IOLTA. The Board has developed a number of client notice forms which are proved at no cost to the attorneys to assist attorneys in giving their clients an opportunity to know of their participation in IOLTA. The IOLTA program does much good, is easy to participate in, and costs the attorney nothing since service charges are paid by IOLTA.
