Legal minds, could use your interpretation of this code

[Raysway]

Please read the bolded part below.. What does this mean?  The Respondent would be a disbarred attorney here

 

Part 6, Section IV, Paragraph 13

Rules of the Supreme Court of Virginia

PROCEDURE FOR DISCIPLINING, SUSPENDING AND DISBARRING ATTORNEYS

 

13-29 DUTIES OF DISBARRED OR SUSPENDED

RESPONDENT

After a Suspension against a Respondent is imposed by

either a Summary or Memorandum Order and no stay of

the Suspension has been granted by this Court, or after a

Revocation against a Respondent is imposed by either a

Summary Order or Memorandum Order, that Respondent

shall forthwith give notice, by certified mail, of his or her

Revocation or Suspension to all clients for whom he or she

is currently handling matters and to all opposing Attorneys

and the presiding Judges in pending litigation. The

Respondent shall also make appropriate arrangements for

the disposition of matters then in his or her care in

conformity with the wishes of his or her clients.

The Respondent shall give such notice within 14 days of the

effective date of the Revocation or Suspension, and make

such arrangements as are required herein within 45 days of

the effective date of the Revocation or Suspension. The

Respondent shall also furnish proof to the Bar within 60

days of the effective date of the Revocation or Suspension

that such notices have been timely given and such

arrangements made for the disposition of matters. The

Board shall decide all issues concerning the adequacy of

the notice and arrangements required herein, and the

Board may impose a sanction of Revocation or additional

Suspension for failure to comply with the requirements of this

subparagraph 13-29

 

 

 

[racecar]

The attorney shall give notice to all his clients and opposing attorneys,and the presiding Judges in pending litigation by certified mail that a Revocation or Suspension has taken place.

 

That means he or she is done for a while in the office or in the courts and now can post at CIC during his or her suspension.

[debtzapper]

The attorney shall give notice to all his clients and opposing attorneys,and the presiding Judges in pending litigation by certified mail that a Revocation or Suspension has taken place.

 

That means he or she is done for a while in the office or in the courts and now can post at CIC during his or her suspension.

 

Now that was good!

[BV80]

 

Respondent shall also make appropriate arrangements for

the disposition of matters then in his or her care in

conformity with the wishes of his or her clients.

 

 

I'm not a legal mind, but this is how I interpret it.  If the attorney had any clients, he can't continue representing them, so he has to help them make other arrangements in order to have their needs met.
