6 6 TO: FROM: RE: John C. Baldwin Elizabeth A. Wright Public Record of Disbarment DATE: October 30, 2017 I have been asked to explain the rules and policies underlying the requirement that the Bar maintain a permanent listing of disbarred lawyers. OUR RULES REQUIRE BROAD NOTICE OF DISBARRMENT AND PROVIDE NO PROCEDURE FOR EXPUNGEMENT Our rules instruct us to give local and nationwide notice of disbarment and say nothing about expungement requires us to notify the ABA of disbarments for posting in the National Lawyer Regulatory Database. We are also required to publish disbarments in the Bar Journal and local newspapers. The Court s intention is to have notice of disbarment disseminated widely and I think safely includes website notification of disbarment. Nothing in our rules provides for expungement of disbarment or other public discipline records. Also, there is no rule that allows a member to remove him or herself from our records. RATIONALE Our rationale, and those of the bars that responded to my listserv request, is the protection of the public. Disbarred lawyers often obtain work as paralegals, document preparers, real estate agents, stock brokers and other work for which the public should be aware that the individual has been disbarred. Also, a disbarred lawyer can always indicate on a resume that he or she graduated from law school. People should be able to verify that a law school graduate has been disbarred before trusting the individual to do legal-related work. Even though a lawyer has been disbarred, he or she can use the fact that he or she has a law degree to engender trust in a client and perhaps charge more money for services. The public should be able to learn that this person has been disbarred.
7 7 APPLICABLE RULES Dissemination of disciplinary information. (a) Notice to disciplinary agencies. The OPC shall transmit notice of public discipline, resignation with discipline pending, transfers to or from disability status, reinstatements, readmissions, and certified copies of judgments of conviction to the disciplinary enforcement agency of every other jurisdiction in which the respondent is admitted, and to the National Lawyer Regulatory Database maintained by the American Bar Association. (b) Notice to the public. The executive director shall cause notices of admonition, public reprimand, suspension, disbarment, resignation with discipline pending, transfer to disability status and petitions for reinstatement or readmission to be published in the Utah Bar Journal. The executive director also shall cause notices of suspension, disbarment, resignation with discipline pending, transfer to disability status and petitions for reinstatement or readmission to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in each judicial district within Utah in which the respondent maintained an office for the practice of law. (c) Notice to the courts. The executive director shall promptly cause transmittal of notices of suspension, disbarment, resignation with discipline pending, transfer to or from disability status, reinstatement or readmission to all state and federal courts in Utah (c). Register of members to be kept. The executive director shall maintain a register of lawyers which shall contain a designation as to their licensing status and such other information as the Board may determine to be necessary or desirable or as required by rule Roster of lawyers and current record information. The Bar shall collect, maintain and have ready access to current information relating to members of the Bar including: (i) Nature, date, and place of any discipline imposed and any reinstatements OPC Counsel (b) Powers and Duties. The senior counsel shall perform all prosecutorial functions and have the following powers and duties, which may be delegated to other staff: (b)(10) maintain permanent records of discipline and disability matters. OTHER JURISDICTIONS I asked other jurisdictions via the National Organization of Bar Counsel (NOBC) listserv if any allowed for expungement of disbarment records. With the exception of Idaho, all responded no. After 5 years Idaho takes removes the individual from the on-line directory, but anyone who calls the Bar or Googles the information can find out if an individual has been disbarred.
8 DOPL: The current policy of the state, through H.B. 118 in the 2016 General Session of the Legislature, is that disciplinary actions are public with no expiration of their status as public records. However, state agencies are limited in posting the information online to 10 years (or 5 years in certain circumstances). After that point, the record remains public, but a person would need to file a GRAMA request to get access to it. RECCOMMENDATION In the interest of protecting the public and in making our rules consistent with our practice, we should amend our rules to indicate that member records, including licensing status and discipline, are permanent, public records. We interpret our rules to require us to make discipline information publicly and permanently available and should amend the rules to clearly state our interpretation. 8
