Plain-English Summary (for reference only — not a substitute for the rule text above)
This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
This rule has been repealed, which means it no longer applies. It used to set up an Operations Committee as part of the state's lawyer discipline system, but that committee no longer exists under the rules.
If you're looking into how lawyer discipline works in North Dakota today, this rule won't give you any current information. You'll want to check the current rules to see how complaints against lawyers are handled now, since the responsibilities once covered here have likely been moved elsewhere or restructured.
