Section 19.2 - State Lawyers Assistance Committee Policies(a) The failure or refusal of a referred lawyer to respond to SLAC's initial inquiry; to participate in interviews with designees during the course of SLAC's investigation; to respond to SLAC requests for information or for a professional evaluation; or to participate in and comply with a remedial program, may result in the lawyer being referred to Disciplinary Counsel for possible action under Oregon RPC 8.1(c).(b) SLAC records and any information provided to or obtained by it or its designees including, without limitation, medical information, is confidential, unless disclosure is authorized by ORS 9.458(4). Pursuant to ORS 9.568(4), the confidentiality does not apply to information relating to a lawyer's non-cooperation with SLAC or its designees or to information obtained by the Bar from any other source not connected with the referral to SLAC. Pursuant to Bar Policy, the SLAC chairperson or designee may release the name of the referred lawyer to the OAAP.(c) SLAC will prepare a written annual report of its activities, which does not disclose individually identifiable confidential information regarding confidential referrals.As amended by 11/19/2022.
