ELC 10.7
                AMENDMENT OF FORMAL COMPLAINT


(a) Right To Amend.  Disciplinary counsel may, without
review committee authorization, amend a formal complaint at
any time to add facts or charges that relate to matters in
the formal complaint or to the respondent lawyer’s conduct
regarding the pending proceedings.

(b) Amendment with Authorization.  Disciplinary counsel must
seek review committee authorization for amendments other
than those under section (a).  The review committee may
authorize the amendment or may require that the additional
facts or charges be the subject of a separate formal
complaint.  The Chair, with the consent of the respondent,
and after consultation with the hearing officer on the
previously filed matter, may consolidate the hearing on the
separate formal complaint with the hearing on the other
pending formal complaint against the respondent.

(c) Service and Answer.  Disciplinary counsel serves an
amendment to a formal complaint on the respondent as
provided in rule 4.1 but need not serve a Notice to Answer
with the amendment.  Rule 10.5 governs the answer to an
amendment except that any part of a previous answer may be
incorporated by reference.
