A Brief Overview
of the Attorney Disciplinary Process
The disciplinary process commences with the
filing of a complaint against an attorney, who is referred to as a
"respondent".
Formal charges are brought on a showing of "probable cause".
The Committee notifies the Appellate Division of
a disciplinary matter requiring action by the Court via a petition that
describes the prior proceedings and requests a court order (e.g. disbarring
or suspending the attorney).
