This presentation will provide an in-depth look at the current landscape of lawyer discipline, with a spotlight on matters affecting legal-aid, public defense and other equal justice practitioners. The presentation outlines key aspects of the ABA Model Rules for Lawyer Disciplinary Enforcement, which serve as a foundation for state regulations, as well as a practical guide to state specific disciplinary procedures. As an example, the presentation will highlight the procedures in Michigan, through investigation by the Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission (AGC), which may lead to public hearings by the Attorney Discipline Board. The session will also highlight common issues leading to disciplinary actions, address the unique challenges faced by legal services and public defense providers, provide practical advice to lawyers in responding to grievances, and highlight frequently asked questions about the grievance process.
