Our editorial process

Every IOLTA, trust accounting, and disbursement article on Disbo is researched against the relevant state bar trust account rules, the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and primary source guidance from state programs such as California's CTAPP and Minnesota's OLPR. Drafts are reviewed by a Disbo product or operations lead with direct experience in personal injury settlement workflows before publication, and updated whenever the underlying rules or workflows change.
