of the Disciplinary Rules is brought to the attention of the proper officials. A lawyer should
reveal voluntarily to those officials all unprivileged knowledge of conduct of lawyers which he
believes clearly to be in violation of the Disciplinary Rules. If in the course of an investigation
by a grievance or ethics committee of a bar association or by the office of disciplinary counsel it
is found that persons involved in the investigation may have violated federal or state criminal
statutes, it is the duty of the investigatory agency to notify the appropriate law enforcement or
prosecutorial authority of such alleged criminal violation. A lawyer should, upon request, serve
on and assist committees and boards having responsibility for the administration of the
Disciplinary Rules.
