SCR 3.390 Effective date; duties upon suspension or disbarment

(Title change effective April 1, 2022; rule change effective January

1, 2023)

SCR 3.390 shall read:

1) Any order suspending a lawyer from the practice of law, other than an

order of suspension under SCR 3.165 or 3.166, shall take effect on

the twentieth (20th) day following its entry unless otherwise provided

within the order. The suspended lawyer shall promptly take all

reasonable steps to protect the interests of the lawyer's clients. A

lawyer suspended from the practice of law shall not during the term of

suspension accept new clients or collect unearned fees and shall

comply with the provisions of SCR 3.130(7.50(5)).

2) Within twenty (20) days after the issuance of an order of disbarment,

or suspension under SCR 3.167, SCR 3.050 or SCR 3.675(4), or upon

issuance of an order of suspension from the practice of law for more

than sixty (60) days, the disbarred or suspended lawyer shall notify,

by letter duly placed with the United States Postal Service, all courts

or other tribunals in which that lawyer has matters pending, and all

clients of the lawyer's inability to represent them and of the necessity

and urgency of promptly retaining new counsel. The lawyer shall

simultaneously provide a copy of all such letters of notification to the

Office of Bar Counsel. Upon issuance of an order of disbarment or

suspension, the affected lawyer shall immediately cancel any pending

advertisements, to the extent possible, and shall terminate any

advertising activity for the duration of the term of suspension or

disbarment.
