Mandatory Reference for Disciplinary Proceeding
Upon the filing of a certified copy of a judgment of conviction of an attorney for a serious
crime, the court shall in addition to suspending that attorney in accordance with the provisions
of this rule, also refer the matter to counsel for the institution of a disciplinary proceeding
before the court in which the sole issue to be determined shall be the extent of the final
discipline to be imposed as a result of the conduct resulting in the conviction, provided that a
disciplinary proceeding so instituted will not be brought to final hearing until all appeals from
the conviction are concluded.
