Wyo. R. Disciplinary P. 8

(a) Misconduct by an attorney, individually or in concert with others, including the

following acts or omissions, shall constitute grounds for discipline, whether or not the

act or omission occurred in the course of an attorney-client relationship:

(1) Any act or omission which violates the provisions of the Wyoming Rules of

Professional Conduct;

(2) Any criminal act that reflects adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustwor-

thiness or fitness as a lawyer in other respects; provided that conviction thereof in

a criminal proceeding shall not be a prerequisite to the institution of disciplinary

proceedings, and provided further that acquittal in a criminal proceeding shall not

necessarily bar disciplinary action;

(3) Any act or omission which violates these rules or which violates an order of

discipline, a diversion contract or a determination of disability; or

(4) Failure to respond without good cause shown to a request by Bar Counsel,

the ROC, the BPR, a Disciplinary Judge, the Client Protection Fund Committee or

the Fee Arbitration Committee, or obstruction of Bar Counsel, the ROC, the BPR,

a Disciplinary Judge, the Client Protection Fund Committee or the Fee Arbitration

Committee or any part thereof in the performance of their duties. Good cause

includes, but is not limited to, an assertion that a response would violate the

respondent’s constitutional privilege against self-incrimination.

(b) This enumeration of acts and omissions constituting grounds for discipline is not

exclusive, and other acts or omissions deemed by the ROC to constitute unprofessional

conduct may constitute grounds for discipline
