Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA)

Attorneys routinely receive client funds to be held in trust for future use. In the case of amounts that are small or are to be held for a short time, attorneys place funds into an IOLTA account. Financial institutions send the interest generated on IOLTA accounts to MLSC to help fund civil legal services.
