                          ELC 13.3
                         SUSPENSION


(a) Term of Suspension.  A suspension must be for a fixed
period of time not exceeding three years.

(b) Reinstatement.

  (1) After the period of suspension, the Association
      administratively returns the suspended respondent
      lawyer to the respondent’s status before the suspension
      without further order by the Court upon:

     (A) the respondent’s compliance with all current
         licensing requirements; and

     (B) disciplinary counsel’s certification that the
         respondent has complied with any specific
         conditions ordered, and has paid any costs or
         restitution ordered or is current with any costs or
         restitution payment plan.

  (2) A respondent may ask the Chair to review an
      adverse determination by disciplinary counsel regarding
      compliance with the conditions for reinstatement,
      payment of costs or restitution, or compliance with a
      costs or restitution payment plan.  On review, the
      Chair may modify the terms of the payment plan if
      warranted.  The Chair determines the procedure for this
      review.  The Chair’s ruling is not subject to further
      review.  If the Chair determines that the Board should
      review the matter, the Chair directs the procedure for
      Board review and the Board’s decision is not subject to
      further review.
