Board’s Role in Cases of

Disbarred and Suspended Attorneys. The following duties of the Board are delegated to Counsel: (a) Publication of notices of Suspension and Disbarment required by RSCH 2.16(e). (b) Transmission of certified copies of orders of Suspension and Disbarment to judges as required by RSCH 2.16(f). The certified copies referenced to herein shall be transmitted, at a minimum, to all State judges, and to the Chief Clerks of the United States District Court for the District of Hawai’i, the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, and the United States Supreme Court. (c) Issuance of a press release regarding the matter. (d) Disbarment or suspension of an Attorney shall not preclude investigation of the Attorney’s conduct in other pending or new matters, to gather and preserve evidence; however, such matters may be held in abeyance unless and until the attorney seeks reinstatement. In cases where the other pending or new matter is abated, Disciplinary Counsel shall notify the Attorney that the abatement may be lifted if reinstatement is sought and pursued either separately or in combination with the reinstatement effort. (Amended January 29, 2022, effective February 1, 2022.)
