As amended through Rule Change 2024(18), effective October 2, 2024
Rule 243.4 - Standard and Effect(a) Standard. A lawyer is disabled under this rule and may be transferred to disability inactive status if the lawyer is unable to competently fulfill professional responsibilities as a result of a physical or behavioral health condition or disorder, including a mental, cognitive, emotional, substance use, or addictive issue.(b) Effect. While a lawyer is on disability inactive status, the lawyer must not practice law. Disability inactive status is not a form of discipline. The pendency of a disability proceeding or a lawyer's transfer to disability inactive status does not stay a disciplinary proceeding against the lawyer, unless such an order is entered under C.R.C.P. 242.28 (governing alleged inability to defend disciplinary proceedings).Adopted by the Court, En Banc, May 20, 2021, effective 7/1/2021.
