Rule 112 - Disbarment by Consent1. An attorney who is the subject of an investigation or proceeding involving allegations of misconduct may consent to disbarment by delivering to bar counsel an affidavit stating that: (a) The attorney's consent is freely and voluntarily rendered; the attorney is not being subjected to coercion or duress; the attorney is fully aware of the implications of submitting his or her consent; (b) The attorney is aware that there is presently pending investigation into, or proceeding involving, allegations that there are grounds for the attorney's discipline, the nature of which the attorney shall specifically set forth; (c) The attorney acknowledges that the material facts alleged are true; and (d) The attorney's consent to disbarment is submitted because the attorney knows that if charges were predicated on the matters under investigation, or if the proceeding were prosecuted, the attorney could not successfully defend against the charges. 2. Upon receipt of the required affidavit, bar counsel shall deliver a petition for consent disbarment to the appropriate disciplinary board chair for approval. That petition shall be filed with the supreme court, and the court shall enter an order disbarring the attorney on consent. Added; effective 2/15/1979; amended effective 3/1/2007.
