Dear Lucas:
The state Office of Court Administration seeks comments on the proposed
Uniform Rules of the Appellate Division on Attorney Discipline. The proposed
rules, announced November 4, 2015, offer "a harmonized approach to
the attorney disciplinary process within the four Departments of the Appellate
Division," according to OCA.
"Our Committee on Professional Discipline will review the proposal
and make recommendations to our Executive Committee. We will submit our
comments prior to the December 18 deadline," said New York State
Bar Association President David P. Miranda. NYSBA members can email comments
to the Association at
comments@nysba.org.
The proposed OCA rules are available at
