Rule 6.5 Privilege and Immunity.

If you report a lawyer for misconduct or testify in a disciplinary case, you're protected from being sued over what you said. This means someone can't file a lawsuit against you just because you complained about a lawyer or gave testimony in a disability or misconduct case. This protection is meant to encourage people to come forward without fear of being punished for speaking up.

The rule also protects the people who handle these misconduct cases. Lawyers who serve on the disciplinary board, hearing panels, or district inquiry committees have some legal protection too. As long as they are doing their official job, they can't easily be hit with complaints about how they handled a case. This protection isn't absolute, but it covers their normal work reviewing and deciding these matters.
