Conn. Practice Book § 2-40 (2026)

Sec. 2-40 the court shall enter an order disbarring the attor- ney for a minimum of twelve years pursuant to Sections 2-47A and 2-53 (g). (i) Whenever the court enters an order sus- pending or disbarring an attorney pursuant to a presentment filed under this section, the court may appoint a trustee, pursuant to Section 2-64, to protect the interests of the attorney’s clients and to secure the attorney’s clients’ funds accounts. (j) If an attorney disciplined solely under the provisions of this section demonstrates to the court that the underlying finding of guilt was later vacated or reversed, the court shall vacate any disciplinary order entered pursuant to the finding of guilt, and place the attorney on active status. The vacating of such disciplinary order shall not automatically terminate any other disciplinary pro- ceeding then pending against the attorney. (k) Immunity from prosecution granted to an attorney is not a bar to disciplinary proceedings, unless otherwise ordered by the court. The grant- ing of a pretrial diversion program to an attorney charged with a serious crime, as defined herein, is not a bar to disciplinary proceedings, unless otherwise ordered by the court that granted the program to the attorney.
