admitted or not. All attorneys to whom these Rules apply shall be subject to the

disciplinary jurisdiction of this Court for any alleged misconduct arising in connection

with such proceeding. All such attorneys shall also be deemed thereby to have

designated the Clerk of the Court as agent for service of process under these Rules

governing discipline and disciplinary proceedings.
