Rule 512 - Lawyers Convicted of Serious Crime(a)Lawyer's Duty to Report. Any Lawyer convicted of a Serious Crime in any jurisdiction shall report that fact to the Bar within 14 days of the occurrence of that Conviction. Failure to make such a report shall, in itself, constitute grounds for imposition of Sanctions under Rule 505. (b)Determination of Serious Crime. Upon being advised that a Lawyer has been convicted of a crime, Bar Counsel shall determine whether the crime constitutes a Serious Crime. If the crime is a Serious Crime, Bar Counsel shall begin Formal Charge proceedings against the Respondent, as provided in Rule 511. Bar Counsel may also petition the Supreme Court for interim suspension, as provided in Rule 510. If the crime is not a Serious Crime, Bar Counsel shall process the matter in the same manner as any other information coming to his or her attention.(c)Conviction as Conclusive Evidence. A certified copy of a judgment of Conviction constitutes conclusive evidence that the Lawyer committed the crime, and the sole issue in any hearing regarding the Conviction shall be the nature and extent of the Sanction to be imposed.(d)Dissolution or Amendment of a Sanction upon Vacation or Reversal of Criminal Conviction. If an appeals court vacates or reverses a Lawyer's Conviction of a Serious Crime, or if a trial court enters an order granting a motion for a new trial, a motion for judgment of acquittal, or a motion to withdraw a plea of guilty that removes a Lawyer's Conviction of a Serious Crime, which Conviction was a basis for a Sanction under these Rules, the Lawyer may file with the Clerk a motion for dissolution or amendment of the Sanction, which shall be handled, as provided in Rule 509(d). Any reinstatement or readmission resulting from a dissolution or amendment of a Sanction may provide for such conditions as the Supreme Court deems appropriate in the interest of justice, the public, the Respondent, the Bar and/or the former or prospective clients of the Respondent. The dissolution or amendment of a Sanction will not automatically terminate any formal proceeding then pending against the Lawyer, the disposition of which shall be determined by the Hearing Committee on the basis of the available evidence other than Conviction.
