Discipline for Cumulative Admonitions

ELC 13.6 DISCIPLINE FOR CUMULATIVE ADMONITIONS (a) Grounds. A lawyer may be subject to sanction or other remedy under rule 13.1 if the lawyer receives three admonitions within a five year period. (b) Procedure. Upon being presented with evidence that a respondent lawyer has received three admonitions within a five-year period, a review committee may authorize the filing of a formal complaint based solely on the provisions of this rule. A proceeding under this rule is conducted in the same manner as any disciplinary proceeding. The issues in the proceeding are whether the respondent has received three admonitions within a five-year period and, if so, what sanction or other remedy should be recommended.
