Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 6236 — Attorney Diversion and Assistance Act is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
The State Bar shall actively engage in outreach activities to make licensees, the legal community, and the general public aware of the existence and availability of the Attorney Diversion and Assistance Program. Outreach shall include, but not be limited to, the development and certification of minimum continuing legal education courses relating to behavioral health issues and the prevention, detection, and treatment of substance abuse, including no-cost and low-cost programs and materials pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 6070, informing all licensees of the State Bar of the program’s existence and benefits through both direct communication and targeted advertising, working in coordination with the judicial branch to inform the state’s judges of the program’s existence and availability as a disciplinary option, and working in cooperation with organizations that provide services and support to attorneys with issues related to behavioral health or substance abuse.
