vice. Section (d) of LR 83.25 provides that such attorneys are subject to the same discipline as
attorneys who are members of the general bar of the Court.
Section (e) of this rule provides that in general disciplinary proceedings are confidential. Any
final orders imposing discipline are public. Where a proceeding is assigned to an individual
judge, it becomes at that point like any other civil proceeding, a matter of public record. As with
any other civil case, there may be exceptional circumstances where some or all of the record or
hearings should not be made public. Section (e) permits this.
Section (f) makes explicit what has been a practice of long standing: materials relating to
disciplinary proceedings before the Executive Committee are to be filed with the Attorney
Admissions Coordinator. This procedure enables more effective control over the documents in
disciplinary proceedings, a control necessary to assure that the confidentiality of such
proceedings is maintained. In addition, the coordinator serves as a source of information on
procedure for attorneys involved in disciplinary proceedings .
