Rule 207.20 Probation
Rule Text
(a) Imposition of probation. -- Probation may be imposed by order of the Court in any disciplinary matter where there is no reasonable basis to conclude that the respondent will harm the public or the orderly administration of justice during the period of the probation, where the conditions of probation can be adequately supervised or monitored, and where the imposition of such a sanction is otherwise appropriate. Probation and any conditions attached thereto shall continue for any period of time deemed appropriate by the Court. When conditions are imposed, probation shall not terminate until;
(1) the expiration of the period established;
(2) the filing with the Court of an affidavit by the respondent averring that the respondent has complied with the conditions of probation; and
(3) an order of the Court that the probation has terminated.
(b) Publicity. -- If probation is imposed along with a private sanction, the probation itself and the terms thereof shall be confidential. If probation is imposed along with a public sanction, the probation itself and the terms thereof shall be public. If probation is imposed alone, the Court shall direct whether the existence and terms thereof shall be confidential or public.
