The Utah State Supreme Court has delegated much of the responsibility of disciplining lawyers to the Utah State Bar. Lawyers who are found to have breached basic rules of ethics or legal constraints are subject to the Rules of Discipline. The lawyer discipline process begins by the filing of an informal complaint by an aggrieved party and if merit is found in the complaint, and resolution is not reached between the aggrieved party and the attorney, the matter is eventually filed in Utah District Court.
