SUBCHAPTER 1B ‑ DISCIPLINE AND DISABILITY RULES

SECTION .0100 ‑ DISCIPLINE AND DISABILITY OF ATTORNEYS

27 NCAC 01B .0101          GENERAL PROVISIONS

Discipline for misconduct is not intended as punishment for wrongdoing but is for the protection of the public, the courts, and the legal profession.  The fact that certain misconduct has remained unchallenged when done by others, or when done at other times, or that it has not been made the subject of earlier disciplinary proceedings, will not be a defense to any charge of misconduct by a member.
