Attorney Subject to Discipline in Other Courts
Pursuant to Local Rule 83.2(f), any attorney disciplined by order of the Courts of Connecticut or any other state or federal Court or any attorney resigning from the bar of the State of Connecticut or any other state or federal Court while disciplinary proceedings are pending, must deliver a copy of the disciplinary order (or notice of resignation) to the Clerk of this Court within fourteen (14) days of the entry of such order. The Court may also receive notice from the courts in which the attorney has been disciplined or resigned. The attorney must notify the Clerk of the Court regardless of whether the Clerk has or might receive notice from any other source. Failure to comply with this notice requirement is, of itself, a ground for discipline.
