State Bar Rules of Procedure
The board of governors adopted emergency interim amendments which took effect March 15
and address default proceedings for disciplined attorneys. New rule 205 deals with the
duration and termination of actual suspension in default proceedings; new rule 206 deals
with interlocutory review of orders denying or grant-ing a motion pursuant to rule 205;
amendments to rule 200 involve the default procedure for failure to file a timely
response; and amendments to rule 201 involve procedures for a respondent's failure to
appear as a party at trial. (Full text of the rules is on the bar's web site: www.calbar.org.)
