C.R.C.P. 242.20
Resignation
As provided in C.R.C.P. 227(A)(8), the supreme court may permit a lawyer to resign
from the practice of law in Colorado. The Regulation Counsel must inform the supreme
court whether any disciplinary or disability matter involving the lawyer should preclude
the lawyer’s resignation and whether any pre-complaint proceeding pending against the
lawyer under this rule should be dismissed. A lawyer may not resign if a complaint under
C.R.C.P. 242.25 is pending against the lawyer. A lawyer who has been permitted to resign
remains subject to the supreme court’s jurisdiction as set forth in C.R.C.P. 242.1 as to the
lawyer’s previous or authorized practice of law in Colorado. Resignation under C.R.C.P.
227(A)(8) is not a form of discipline.
