Would add a new subparagraph (c):
Every written, recorded, or electronic communication from a lawyer that seeks professional employment from a prospective client shall include the words “Advertising Material” prominently featured on the outside envelope, if any, and at the beginning and ending of any written, recorded, or electronic communication, unless the lawyer has a family or prior professional relationship with the recipient. If a written communication is in the form of a self-mailing brochure, pamphlet, or postcard, the words “Advertising Material” shall appear on the address panel of the brochure, pamphlet, or postcard.
