| 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 granting 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.) SOURCE: State Bar
