SLAC receives referrals from attorneys, judges, clients, members of the general public, and members of the legal community about lawyers whose ability to practice law appears impaired.
Members of SLAC investigate lawyers who may be experiencing problems that impact their ability to practice law, including:
SLAC has statutory authority to investigate the problem facing the lawyer in need, develop a remedial action plan for the lawyer, monitor the lawyer’s compliance with the plan, and assure confidentiality for the lawyer in compliance with the remedial action plan.
SLAC may also monitor lawyers who are conditionally admitted by the Supreme Court or enter diversion agreements with Disciplinary Counsel.
The names of persons who make referrals are confidential, and will not be shared with the referred lawyer.
