M.D. Pa. L.R. 83.20.1
Immediate Suspension
Upon the filing with this court of a certified copy of a judgment of conviction demonstrating
that any attorney admitted to practice before this court has been convicted in any court of the
United States, or the District of Columbia, or of any state, territory, commonwealth or
possession of the United States, of a serious crime as hereinafter defined, the court shall enter
an order immediately suspending that attorney, whether the conviction resulted from a plea of
guilty or nolo contendere or from a verdict after trial or otherwise, and regardless of the
pendency of any appeal, until final disposition of a disciplinary proceeding to be commenced
upon such conviction. A copy of such order shall immediately be served upon the attorney.
Upon good cause shown, the court may set aside such order when it appears in the interest
of justice.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
