Rule 8 Interim Suspension
Rule Text
The Committee may request that the Superior Court impose an interim suspension of the respondent when: (1) the respondent’s actions reveal a pattern of professional misconduct involving a violation of the same or similar rule; and (2) the respondent poses a substantial threat of irreparable harm to his or her clients and/or prospective clients.
(a) Standard. By clear and convincing evidence, the Superior Court must find the same elements required for the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order.
(b) Expiration. The interim suspension expires 90 days after the date entered, unless a further hearing is held and good cause is shown why the interim suspension should be extended.
