The concept did not reach the U.S., home of the richest lawyers on earth, until 1959, when the Vermont Bar Association put up the money to start a clients' security fund. About the same time, the American Bar Association organized a committee "to assist and encourage" similar funds in the other states. The current committee chairman, Attorney Karl C.
