This summary is not the rule. The rule text controls.
Here's a plain English summary:
When a disciplinary case goes before the Trial Panel, everything said during the hearing gets recorded by a court reporter and written up as an official transcript. This creates a full written record of what happened and what was said during the proceedings.
The only time this doesn't happen is when both sides already agree on the facts of the case. If there's no dispute about what actually occurred, there's no need to record and transcribe testimony since no one is arguing over the details.
This rule matters because it protects everyone involved. If someone wants to appeal the outcome later, having a full transcript means they can point to exactly what was said and done during the hearing. It also helps make sure the process stays fair and accurate.
