Conn. Practice Book § 2-39

(a) Upon being informed that a lawyer admitted

to the Connecticut bar has resigned, been dis -

barred, suspended or otherwise disciplined, or

placed on inactive disability status in another jurisdiction, and that said discipline or inactive disability status has not been stayed, the disciplinary

counsel shall obtain a certified copy of the order

and file it with the Superior Court for the judicial

district wherein the lawyer maintains an office for

the practice of law in this state, except that, if the

lawyer has no such office, the disciplinary counsel

shall file the certified copy of the order from the

other jurisdiction with the Superior Court for the

judicial district of Hartford. No entry fee shall be

required for proceedings hereunder.

(b) Upon receipt of a certified copy of the order,

the court shall forthwith cause to be served upon

the lawyer a copy of the order from the other

jurisdiction and an order directing the lawyer to

file within thirty days of service, with proof of service upon the disciplinary counsel, an answer

admitting or denying the action in the other jurisdiction and setting forth, if any, reasons why commensurate action in this state would be

unwarranted. Such certified copy will constitute

prima facie evidence that the order of the other

jurisdiction entered and that the findings contained therein are true.

(c) Upon the expiration of the thirty day period

the court shall assign the matter for a hearing.

After hearing, the court shall take commensu -

rate action unless it is found that the respondent

has established by clear and convincing evidence

that:

(1) The procedure in the predicate matter was

so lacking in notice or opportunity to be heard as

to constitute a deprivation of due process; or

(2) There was such infirmity of proof establishing the misconduct in the predicate matter as to

give rise to the clear conviction that the court could

not, consistent with its duty, accept as final the

conclusion on that subject; or

(3) The discipline imposed would result in grave

injustice; or

(4) The misconduct established in the predicate

matter warrants substantially different discipline

in this state; or

(5) The reason for the original transfer to inactive disability status no longer exists.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, a reciprocal discipline action need not be filed if the conduct giving

rise to discipline in another jurisdiction has already

been the subject of a formal review by the court

or Statewide Grievance Committee.
