This rule shall not prohibit counsel, appointed pursuant to LCvR 83.3.B.I or
any member of this Court, from reporting to law enforcement authorities
the suspected commission of any criminal offense.
Comment (June 2008)
The amended Rule adds headings, modifies the numbering and clarifies and modernizes
language in the Rule. The amendment reorganizes the Rule and clarifies the process whereby
allegations of attorney misconduct are investigated and, if appropriate, prosecuted. The
amended Rule clarifies that the word "Counsel" refers to a member of the bar of the Court
appointed by the Chief Judge to perform the investigation and/or prosecution.
