RULE 1

PURPOSE

The regulation of the conduct of lawyers is critical to preserving the integrity of the legal profession and enhancing public confidence in the judicial system. These rules provide the procedure for resolving allegations that a lawyer has committed ethical misconduct or that a lawyer suffers from a physical or mental condition which adversely affects the lawyer's ability to practice law.
