                          ELC 14.2
               LAWYER TO DISCONTINUE PRACTICE


A disbarred or suspended lawyer, or a lawyer transferred to
disability inactive status, must not practice law after the
effective date of the disbarment, suspension, or transfer to
disability inactive status, and also must take whatever
steps necessary to avoid any reasonable likelihood that
anyone will rely on him or her as a lawyer authorized to
practice law.  This rule does not preclude a disbarred or
suspended lawyer, or a lawyer transferred to disability
inactive status, from disbursing assets held by the lawyer
to clients or other persons or from providing information on
the facts and the lawyer’s theory of a case and its status
to a succeeding lawyer, provided that the suspended or
disbarred lawyer not be involved in any discussion regarding
matters occurring after the date of the suspension or
disbarment.  The lawyer must provide this information on
request and without charge.


[Adopted effective October 1, 2002.]
