Appeal From
Case No.
2001 ND 55623 N.W.2d 431

Highlight

An attorney who is disciplined in another jurisdiction is also subject to reciprocal discipline in North Dakota if admitted to practice law in North Dakota, regardless of whether the attorney currently is licensed to practice law in North Dakota.
Reciprocal discipline shall be identical in this state, unless the proceedings in the jurisdiction initiating the discipline lack due process or proof of misconduct, or unless identical punishment would result in grave injustice or the misconduct warrants substantially different discipline.
An attorney is not denied due process in disciplinary proceedings if there is adequate notice of the charges and an opportunity to be heard.
Imposing identical reciprocal discipline is not a grave injustice when an attorney is not licensed in North Dakota and does not intend to reapply for licensure.
