law; (2) if engaged in the private practice of law, whether the lawyer
is currently covered by professional liability insurance; (3) whether

to comply with this rule by the date specified in section (a) may
be ordered suspended from the practice of law by the Supreme
Court until such time as the lawyer complies. Supplying false
information in response to this rule shall subject the lawyer to
appropriate disciplinary action.
