Md. R. Jud. & Judi. Appts. 18-409

As amended through April 5, 2024

Rule 18-409 - Use of Allegations from Dismissed Case

If a complaint has been dismissed without a letter of cautionary advice, allegations made in the complaint may not be used in any disciplinary proceeding against the judge, either as a judge or as an attorney. If additional information becomes known to Investigative Counsel regarding a complaint that was dismissed before the filing of charges, the earlier allegations may be reinvestigated.

This Rule is new and is derived in part from ABA Model Rules for Judicial Disciplinary Enforcement, Rule 18.

Adopted May 15, 2019, eff. 7/1/2019.
