Rule 10.5 - Procedure In Supreme Court(a) Briefs. No later than 28 days after the Supreme Court's written notice to Disciplinary Counsel and the respondent or applicant of receipt of the record, the party who requested review or the applicant, as the case may be, must file an opening brief. The brief must include a request for relief asking the court to adopt, modify, or reject, in whole or in part, the decision of the trial panel. Otherwise, the format of the opening brief and the timing and format of any answering or reply briefs shall be governed by the applicable Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure. The failure of the Bar or a respondent or applicant to file a brief does not prevent the opposing litigant from filing a brief. Answering briefs are not limited to issues addressed in petitions or opening briefs, and may urge the adoption, modification, or rejection in whole or in part of any decision of the trial panel.(b) Oral Argument. The Oregon Rules of Appellate Procedure relating to oral argument apply in disciplinary and contested reinstatement proceedings. Rule 10.5b and c amended by Order dated July 22, 1991.
