Rule 4-218 Judgments

After the Special Master's report and any report of the State Disciplinary Review Board are filed with the Supreme Court of Georgia, the respondent and the State Bar of Georgia may file with the Court any written exceptions, supported by written argument, either may have to the reports. All such exceptions shall be filed with the Court within 30 days of the date that the record is filed with the Court and a copy served upon the opposing party. The responding party shall have an additional 30 days to file a response with the Court. The Court may grant oral argument on any exception filed with it upon application for such argument by a party to the disciplinary proceedings. The Court will promptly consider the report of the Special Master, any report of the State Disciplinary Review Board, any exceptions, and any responses filed by any party to such exceptions, and enter judgment upon the formal complaint. A copy of the Court’s judgment shall be transmitted to the State Bar of Georgia and the respondent by the Court.
