Rule 16 Confidentiality
Rule Text
Unless otherwise directed by the Supreme Court or these Rules, the files, records and proceedings of the Commission, as they relate to or arise out of any failure of any member to satisfy the requirements of these Rules, are confidential and shall not be disclosed, except in furtherance of the duties of the Commission, upon the request of the Commission on Practice, or the member affected, or as introduced into evidence or otherwise produced in proceedings under these Rules. After the Commission directs the State Bar of Montana to transfer a member to inactive status, the matter becomes one of public record and is no longer confidential.
