M.D. Ga. L.R. 83.2
Rules Governing Attorney Discipline
PREFACTORY STATEMENT
Nothing contained in these rules shall be construed to deny the Court its inherent power to maintain control
over the proceedings conducted before it or to deny the Court those powers derived from statute, rule of
procedure, or other rules of court.
When alleged attorney misconduct is brought to the attention of the Court, whether by a Judge of the Court,
any lawyer admitted to practice before the Court, any officer or employee of the Court, or otherwise, the Court
may, in its discretion, dispose of the matter through the use of its inherent, statutory, or other powers; refer the
matter to an appropriate state bar agency for investigation and disposition; refer the matter to the local grievance
committee as hereinafter defined; or take any other action the court deems appropriate including referring the
matter for possible investigative and criminal prosecution. These procedures are not mutually exclusive.
