Practice point: The Court may suspend an attorney pending consideration of charges of misconduct, or upon the attorney’s failure to comply with a lawful demand of the Court or of the Departmental Disciplinary Committee.
Students should note that the attorney’s failure to respond to the Committee's inquiries, and failure to respond to the Committee’s motion to suspend, will result in an immediate suspension.
