Back to question index 24. Is a lawyer entitled to a hearing before being placed on interim suspension?
• Yes. If the Bar files a petition pursuant to Rule 14-518, the district court conducts a hearing before the lawyer is placed on interim suspension. • There is no provision for a hearing under Rule 14-519. The lawyer may, however, assert any jurisdictional deficiency which establishes the interim suspension may not properly be ordered, such as that the crime does not reflect adversely on the lawyer’s honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects, or that the lawyer is not the individual convicted.
