Conduct Constituting Threat of Harm to Clients

activein force · 2022-01-01 – presentact-effective-date

(a) If a grievance panel, a reviewing committee,

the Statewide Grievance Committee or the disciplinary counsel believes that a lawyer poses a

substantial threat of irreparable harm to his or her

clients or to prospective clients, the disciplinary

counsel shall apply to the court for an order of

interim suspension. The disciplinary counsel shall

provide the lawyer with notice that an application

for interim suspension has been filed and that a

hearing will be held on such application.

(b) The court, after hearing, pending final disposition of the disciplinary proceeding, may, if it finds

that the lawyer poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to his or her clients or to prospective

clients, enter an order of interim suspension, or

may order such other interim action as deemed

appropriate. Thereafter, upon good cause shown,

the court may, in the interest of justice, set aside

or modify the interim suspension or other order

entered pursuant hereto. Whenever the court

enters an interim suspension order pursuant

hereto, the court may appoint a trustee, pursuant

to Section 2-64, to protect the clients’ and the

suspended attorney’s interests.

(c) No entry fee shall be required for proceedings hereunder. Any hearings necessitated by the

proceedings may, in the discretion of the court,

be held in chambers.
