DISCIPLINARY HEARING OFFICERS

 Posted Apr. 19, 2023

 

 Disciplinary Hearing Officer 


Below is description of the position:

When the Office of Chief Disciplinary Counsel (OCDC) receives a complaint against an

attorney, the complaint is investigated to determine whether the attorney has violated the Rules

of Professional Conduct for attorneys that have been adopted by the Missouri Supreme Court. If

the investigation leads those conducting the investigation to believe that the attorney has

committed misconduct of a serious nature, it is necessary to hold a hearing.


Disciplinary Hearing Panels conduct the hearings. Each Disciplinary Hearing Panel consists of

three Disciplinary Hearing Officers, selected from a pool of Disciplinary Hearing Officers who

have been appointed by the Supreme Court. The Chair of the Supreme Court Advisory

Committee selects the panel of three Disciplinary Hearing Officers, for each hearing. Each panel

consists of two attorneys and one non-attorney. The Chair appoints one of the attorneys as the

presiding officer.


The Chair of the Supreme Court Advisory Committee attempts to only appoint each Disciplinary

Hearing Officer to panels a few times each year. A Disciplinary Hearing Officer may decline an

appointment to a panel. A hearing normally does not last more than a day, but there are

exceptions. Most hearings that will last more than a day or so can be identified in advance.

The Supreme Court rules establish time frames within which the hearing should be held and the

decision should be issued. Although these time frames are not strictly mandatory, the Supreme

Court considers them to be very important. Disciplinary Hearing Officers should be prepared to

give these matters the same priority as other important matters in their practice, business, life,

etc.


Under the Supreme Court rules, the hearing should normally be held within sixty days after the

panel is appointed, however additional time can be allowed for good cause. The Presiding

Officer has the authority, as would a judge, to pick a date and hold all parties to it. A hearing is

similar to a trial in court. The rules of evidence apply. The Presiding Officer rules on

objections, usually in consultation with other panel members. The Presiding Officer rules on

issues relating to discovery (depositions, requests for admissions, etc.) that arise prior to the

hearing.


After the hearing, the panel must issue written findings of fact and conclusions of law. The

decision should be issued within 30 days. If the panel finds that the respondent attorney

committed professional misconduct, the panel must recommend the appropriate discipline. If the

panel finds that the attorney did not commit professional misconduct, the panel recommends

dismissal. Once the panel issues its decision, the panel’s duties on the case are completed.


If the panel recommends an admonition, the lowest form of discipline, the admonition can be

accepted by the respondent attorney. If the panel recommends dismissal, that recommendation

can be accepted by OCDC. If the panel recommends a higher level of discipline, the case will go

to the Supreme Court and the decision will ultimately be made by the Supreme Court.
