Description
1 We are presented with a question of first impression: whether the trial panel of the Professional Responsibility Commission may, in the absence of the lawyer who has been accused of violations of the Code of Professional Responsibility, conduct disciplinary proceedings and impose discipline when the lawyer appears before the proceedings are concluded and moves to reopen the hearing. We find that it may not. However, because the lawyer did not dispute that he failed to communicate with his client thereby neglecting the case, a public censure is warranted.
