## Text

(A) Purpose. Discipline for misconduct is not intended as punishment for wrongdoing, but
for the protection of the public, the courts, and the legal profession. The fact that certain
misconduct has remained unchallenged when done by others or when done at other times
or has not been earlier made the subject of disciplinary proceedings is not an excuse.
(B) Funding. The legal profession, through the State Bar of Michigan, is responsible for the
reasonable and necessary expenses of the board, the commission, and the administrator,
as determined by the Supreme Court.
