           ACTION ON ADJUDICATION OF INCOMPETENCY


(a) Grounds.  The Association must automatically transfer a
lawyer from active to disability inactive membership status
upon receipt of a certified copy of the judgment, order, or
other appropriate document demonstrating that the lawyer:

  (1) was found to be incapable of assisting in his or
     her own defense in a criminal action;

  (2)  was acquitted of a crime based on insanity;

  (3) had a guardian (but not a limited guardian)
     appointed for his or her person or estate on a finding
     of incompetency; or

  (4) was found to be mentally incapable of conducting
     the practice of law in any other jurisdiction.

(b) Notice to Lawyer.  The Association must forthwith notify
the disabled lawyer and his or her guardian, if one has been
appointed, of the transfer to disability inactive status.
The Association must also notify the Supreme Court of the
transfer and provide a copy of the judgment, order, or other
appropriate document on which the transfer was based.
