Reinstatement after Suspension,

Disbarment or Resignation (a) An attorney who has been suspended from the practice of law in this state for a period of one year or more or has remained under suspension pursuant to an order of interim suspension for a period of one year or more shall be required to apply for reinstatement in accordance with this section, unless the court that imposed the disci- pline expressly provided in its order that such application is not required. An attorney who has been suspended for less than one year need not file an application for reinstatement pursuant to this section, unless otherwise ordered by the court at the time the discipline was imposed. (b) An attorney who was disbarred or resigned shall be required to apply for reinstatement pursu- ant to this section, but shall not be eligible to do so until after five years from the effective date of disbarment or acceptance by the court of the resignation, unless the court that imposed the dis- cipline expressly provided a shorter period of dis- barment or resignation in its order. No attorney who has resigned from the bar and waived the privilege of applying for readmission or reinstate- ment to the bar at any future time shall be eligible to apply for readmission or reinstatement to the bar under this rule. 157 © Copyrighted by the Secretary of the State of the State of Connecticut
