ELC 9.2
 RECIPROCAL DISCIPLINE AND DISABILITY INACTIVE STATUS; DUTY
                       TO SELF-REPORT


(a) Duty To Self-Report Discipline or Transfer to Disability
Inactive Status.  Within 30 days of being disciplined or
transferred to disability inactive status in another
jurisdiction, a lawyer admitted to practice in this state
must inform disciplinary counsel of the discipline or
transfer.

(b) Obtaining Order.  Upon notification from any source that
a lawyer admitted to practice in this state was disciplined
or transferred to disability inactive status in another
jurisdiction, disciplinary counsel must obtain a certified
copy of the order and file it with the Supreme Court.

(c) Supreme Court Action.  Upon receipt of a certified copy
of an order demonstrating that a lawyer admitted to practice
in this state has been disciplined or transferred to
disability inactive status in another jurisdiction, the
Supreme Court orders the respondent lawyer to show cause
within 30 days of service why it should not impose the
identical discipline or disability inactive status.  The
Association must personally serve this order, and a copy of
the order from the other jurisdiction, on the respondent
under rule 4.1(b)(3).

(d) Deferral.  If the other jurisdiction has stayed the
discipline or transfer, any reciprocal discipline or
transfer in this state is deferred until the stay expires.

(e) Discipline or Transfer To Be Imposed.

  (1) Thirty days after service of the order under
     section (c), the Supreme Court imposes the identical
     discipline or disability inactive status unless
     disciplinary counsel or the lawyer demonstrates, or the
     Court finds, that it clearly appears on the face of the
     record on which the discipline or disability transfer
     is based, that:

     (A) the procedure so lacked notice or opportunity to be
         heard that it denied due process;

     (B) the proof of misconduct or disability was so infirm
         that the Court is clearly convinced that it cannot,
         consistent with its duty, accept the finding of
         misconduct or disability;

     (C) the imposition of the same discipline would result
         in grave injustice;

     (D) the established misconduct warrants substantially
         different discipline in this state;

     (E) the reason for the original transfer to disability
         inactive status no longer exists; or

     (F) appropriate discipline has already been imposed in
         this jurisdiction for the misconduct.

  (2) If the Court determines that any of the factors in
     subsection (1) exist, it enters an appropriate order.
     The burden is on the party seeking different discipline
     in this jurisdiction to demonstrate that imposing the
     same discipline is not appropriate.

(f) Conclusive Effect.  Except as this rule otherwise
provides, a final adjudication in another jurisdiction that
a lawyer has been guilty of misconduct or should be
transferred to disability inactive status conclusively
establishes the misconduct or the disability for purposes of
a disciplinary or disability proceeding in this state.
