Conn. Practice Book § 2-64

(a) Whenever an attorney is placed upon inactive status, suspended, disbarred, or resigns, the

court, upon such notice to him or her as the court

may direct, shall appoint an attorney or attorneys

to inventory the files of the inactive, suspended,

disbarred or resigned attorney and to take such

action as seems indicated to protect the interests

of the attorney’s clients. The court may also

appoint an attorney to protect the interests of the

attorney placed on inactive status, suspended,

disbarred or resigned with respect to such files,

when the attorney is not otherwise represented

and the court deems that such representation is

necessary. If the discipline imposed is not effective immediately as a result of an appeal or stay,

the court, after the hearing and consideration of

the merits of the appeal or reason for the stay, may

issue interim orders to protect the public during

the pendency of the appeal period or stay, until

the discipline order becomes effective. In case

of an attorney’s death, the court may appoint

an attorney where no partner, executor or other

responsible party capable of conducting the

deceased attorney’s affairs is known to exist or

willing to assume the responsibility.

(b) Any attorney so appointed by the court shall

not be permitted to disclose any information contained in any file so inventoried without the consent of the client to whom such file relates except

as is necessary to carry out the order of the court

which appointed the attorney to make such inventory.

(c) Not less frequently than once each year and

at such time as the attorney may be returned

to active status, reinstated or readmitted to the

practice of law or when the attorney appointed to

protect clients’ interests has finished rendering

services to those clients, the appointed attorney

shall file with the court, for its examination and

approval, a report showing fees earned from the

clients of the attorney, necessary disbursements,

and the amount requested by the appointed attorney as a fee for services rendered, to be paid out

of the funds received. Any attorney so appointed

by the court for the inactive, suspended, disbarred, resigned or deceased attorney may also

be reimbursed for his or her services from any

amount found to be due to the inactive, suspended, disbarred, resigned or deceased attorney

for services rendered to such clients. All attorney’s

fees paid to any attorney appointed hereunder

shall be subject to court approval.

(d) Unless the attorney appointed to protect clients’ interests is a partner or associate of the

attorney, if the attorney is returned to active status,

reinstated or readmitted, the appointed attorney

shall immediately cease representing the clients

of the attorney and shall return to the reinstated

or readmitted attorney, or to the attorney returned

to active status, such files as the appointed attorney may have received, and the appointed attorney and partners and associates shall not represent any person who was a client of the reinstated

or readmitted attorney, or who was a client of an

attorney returned to active status, on or before

the date when he or she was placed upon inactive

status, suspended, disbarred or resigned, unless

the court which entered the order directing rein -

statement, readmission, or return to active status

shall order otherwise after written request to the

court by the client whose interest is involved.
