No. The Disciplinary Commission is an agency of the Indiana Supreme Court. Bar associations in Indiana are voluntary organizations of lawyers with no control over lawyer discipline. Sometimes local bar association committees assist the Commission with investigations, but they have no say in the outcome of a case. Do tax dollars go to fund the Disciplinary Commission? No. Lawyers pay an annual licensing fee to fund the work of the Disciplinary Commission.
