Suspension
(a) Term of Suspension. A suspension must be for a fixed period of time not exceeding
three years.
(b) Reinstatement.
(1) After the period of suspension, the Association administratively returns the suspended
respondent lawyer to the respondent’s status before the suspension without further order by the
Court upon:
(A) the respondent’s compliance with all current licensing requirements; and
(B) disciplinary counsel’s certification that the respondent has complied with any specific
conditions ordered, and has paid any costs or restitution ordered or is current with any costs or
restitution payment plan.
(2) A respondent may ask the Chair to review an adverse determination by disciplinary
counsel regarding compliance with the conditions for reinstatement, payment of costs or
restitution, or compliance with a costs or restitution payment plan. On review, the Chair may
modify the terms of the payment plan if warranted. The Chair determines the procedure for this
review. The Chair’s ruling is not subject to further review. If the Chair determines that the
Board should review the matter, the Chair directs the procedure for Board review and the
Board’s decision is not subject to further review.
