Advertisement Filing Changes Coming Soon
ADVERTISEMENT OPINIONS WILL BE EMAILED AS OF MAY 1st, 2025
Effective May 1, 2025, Bar staff will go paperless and will send all advertisement opinions pursuant to Rule 4-7.19 via email to the responsible lawyer’s Bar profile email address.
This will not change the initial advertisement filing process. While an online filing system will be implemented in the future, advertisements filed after May 1, 2025, must continue to be sent via mail or physical delivery and will still require payment via check until further notice. Checks should be payable to “The Florida Bar” and advertisement filings should be mailed to:
The Florida Bar
Ethics & Advertising
651 E. Jefferson St.
Tallahassee, Florida 32399
WHAT WILL CHANGE ON MAY 1, 2025?
You will no longer receive a paper copy of your advertisement opinion letters for advertisement opinions completed after May 1, 2025.
Instead, you will receive an email copy of the opinion letter similar to the paper letters previously sent. This email will be sent to the email address listed on your Bar member profile.
Each advertisement will receive a separate email opinion.
Rather than using a single letter to address multiple files, each advertisement will have its own opinion response. For example, if a submission includes ten (10) separate advertisements, the filing lawyer will receive ten separate responses.
Advertisement file numbers will change.
Rather than the current advertisement numbering format, files reviewed after May 1, 2025, will be numbered according to the following format: [YYMM-XXXXX]
For example, the first file reviewed in May of 2025 will be numbered 2505-00001.
